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 babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me, as well as my work as a branding expert. 

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

Can you HEAR her laugh through these images?  I know I can.  Dahlia might be one of the most happy-go-lucky babies I've ever been around.  After she decided my camera was not a robot from Planet Scarethebaby, we were besties and she tossed at least a hundred good smiles my way.  Cute Miss Dahlia loves her mama and daddy and especially her "brother" Winston, and I am so glad I was able to photograph her again.

Oh my, yes, these are indeed wonderful photos! It's as if Dahlia is reaching out with her eyes to embrace the world... she is beautiful. Thanks for sharing these moments from your lives.

Fantastic photos - Kate you do great work and I know Dahlia is quite the model - those bright eyes and chunky cheeks - to die for. My favourite one...very hard to pick...but I love the toes - with her on her back...but Winston chomping on her bow...and her handing the camera...grass...takes the prize in my eyes.

Because I know they are {thisclose} to leaving Texas (and me) for good to start anew in the Boston area, I had to post these images.  Blanca + Brian have been amongst my most loyal and most favorite clients (yes, I like all of my clients, but I am only human and do have a few faves).  Not only did I photograph their engagement session, bridal session, and wedding, but I also photographed the milestones during the first year of their daughter Amelia (who also goes by "Millie"!!!). 

The previous post and this post are bittersweet, because while I am so honored to not only meet Blanca + Brian's new baby but also honored to photograph her, I am really super sad that they are moving so far away.  I am hoping that my little family will get to make it up to Boston sometime in the near future and that we can check in with them, 'cause we are friends for life, yo!

So, here is a schmorgasboard of images featuring Alessandra's newborn life and Millie's life as a 2 year old.  Guest starring?  Older sister Clarissa, mom Blanca, and dad Brian!  Please please please leave them lots of hugs and kisses in the comment box below the post!

Beautiful pics! I really like the one where Alessandra is laying on the grass. What a perfect little angel! I also love the one where Millie is lounging around her chalk artwork. Please keep us updated with future pics of the family!

It is so hard to believe that this little munchkin (Amelia) is not only 2 years old, but also A BIG SISTER!  Blanca + Brian had sweet baby Alessandra last month, and I'm thrilled I was able to pop into the hospital to grab some shots of her first few moments.  Stay tuned for her newborn session!

Don't forget to leave Blanca + Brian, Amelia, Clarissa, and Baby Alessandra some love below!

Jenny DeMarco says:

Gosh...this makes me so jealous that you aren't closer to Austin and could be there for when Chris and I start a family. Maybe I will just have to helicopter you in when the big day comes (some day way down the line!). Beautiful job Kate as always. And love the newborn post as well.

So precious! Blanca, you are truly blessed. You have a wonderful family and friends who love you very much! I'm excited to see the next round of pics!

B says:

Wow! Thank you, Kate!!! I love, love, love them all! My favorite is of course of Millie's silly eating face and Alessandra's dangling little feet! Remarkable how much newborns change in a month. Can't wait to see the newborn session!

Meet my new boyfriend...Walker.  You may remember him from days when he was a bit smaller, but still had great hair.  Walker's drooling a bit more lately, which I (of course) love.  Either he's lusting after my camera (homeboy lurves him some electronics) or maaaaaaaaybe he's getting some new teeth.  You can be the judge.  He's a snugglebug with charm for miles, which he undoubtedly learned from his mom and pop, Taryn + Adam.  These two parents are doing such an outstanding job listening to Walker's cues and taking delight in his every move and those things really make me proud to know them.  Check out baby Walker's latest tricks!

Such a happy, loving, hilarious, not to mention gorgeous family are the Danusers.  They've been with me forever, and now that Hudson is grown up (well, walking), I don't know what I'm going to do!  I think withdrawals are in order.  Or maybe we'll just have to hang out more often.

Thanks, Christine, Mark, Ava, and Hudson, for another fantastic year in pictures!  I adore you guys!!!
