Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

Ok, readers.  This is a NO BRAINER if I've ever seen one.  Like my new associate, Joanna, says (yes, I said associate...we'll get to that soon!), "Duh, and duh."

Not only are the girls from Caplan Miller Events completely DOMINATING the event industry, but they are also just rad chicas who have expertise in all areas.  This includes, but is not limited to fashion, socializin', domestic goddessness, jetsettin', and the word on the street.  I love 'em, and you'll love 'em.  Check 'em out and leave them the blog equivalent of a snuggie...a comment!

Court and Alex live in New Jersey.  Alex works in Manhattan while Court works in NJ.  Alex's family is from Chile and NJ, while Courtney's family is from Texas (my hometown, actually!).  So...how did they find each other?  Spring Break!  Naturally.  Cancun works wonders for the romantically interested, or so I am told.  =)

So, the foxy spring breakers fell in love and several years later are planning their early summer NJ wedding!  I cannot wait to capture all of the little moments of their big day and get to meet (and catch up with) all of their family members.  Straight from Courtney and Alex's mouths, it is supposed to be a VERY festive evening!

A few weeks ago, I met up with them in Brenham, Texas, so that Courtney could have a tiny sliver of her hometown involved in the wedding process.  It was great revisiting memories with Court and getting to know Alex and I can't wait to see them again!

Yeah, she's been in dance for 2 years, swimming for 1 and a half, does gymnastics at her school, and only has 2-3 playdates a week, so we thought it was high time we added more to her schedule.  I mean, we can't have anyone be bored, right?  (I am being a total smart ass, by the way.) 

Well, Millie's only on her second tennis lesson, but it's already been quite the rollercoaster ride.  Last week, at her first session with Coach Debbie, she had a perfectionist's textbook reaction to not being awesome at something while doing it for the very first time.  You know, pouting, stomping, and eventually crying, screaming, and blubbering.  However, after a personal training session last Saturday from Bobby and moi, Millie is back on the rails and GUNG-HO about tennis...as long as she can wear pink, natch.  That bad attitude turned completely around and my Peach actually hit the ball over the net SEVERAL times today...while SMILING.  What a world of difference from last week, it was! More to come on this adventure, but I wanted to share this little Hipstomatic gem from today.  God, I love my kid.

We love the Mills too! Glad it was you guys giving the practice. I'm with Millie on the kicking/screaming part when it comes to anything athletic! Love, GranLyn

Tell Millie we can all play at Padre! We have a court by our house and we hit the ball around. No formal lessons, maybe Millie can teach us!

Genevieve + Adam reside in Washington, D.C., but Gen is grew up in Austin and still holds it close to her heart.  In fact, Austin is where she and Adam will say their vows in November, and I can't wait.  I truly feel like I have made new friends with them...their wacky senses of humor and willingness to be silly and free and real and show their love for each other inspires me, and I'm honored to tell their story.

Love, love, love the hand picture and the kissing on the door step! Truly fabulous!

Genevieve says:

Kate: You are the bomb-dot-com. These are so great. You were amazing at making us abandon our awkward tendencies and encouraging us to just be in the moment. We had an amazing time with you, and look forward to hanging again in November for our big day! Hugs, Genevieve and Adam

Millie did enough chores in the month of March to earn a prize (hallelujah), so she chose a fish.  Everyone, meet "Cutie".  Cutie, here's everyone.  And of course, from Cutie, Millie has learned to do quite a fantastic fish face which comes in handy during spaghetti night at the Mefford house.

Love the new addition to the family! Cutie is so colorful and so is Millie's spaghetti face! :)
