Since becoming a mother, I've realized how fast time seems to go. I blinked and my first born, Mateo was in preschool. One of my regrets from the first time around was choosing not to have newborn photos taken. So when I found out I was expecting for a second time, I booked Kate immediately.
The shoot was done in our master bedroom. Nothing fancy - no studio lights or props. Just natural light from the window, my late Grandmother's blanket (we named Violet after her), our beagles, my husband, our son, and our newborn baby girl. And despite this simplicity, the images Kate created are the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen; completely capturing the essence of my beautiful little family.
While traditional newborn photos usually include little babes posed in tiny baskets and flower pots, we were looking for something more real - and I couldn't hold back the tears when I saw that Kate gave us just that. Each little body part, each smile, each touch appears so genuinely in each photograph, and as I scrolled through the collection, I felt so incredibly blessed and grateful not only for my family, but also for the opportunity to enjoy these memories for the rest of my life.
I think the reason I'm writing this blog is to express just how much I believe in photography. Real, raw, beautiful photography. You can't put a price on memories - and if you're looking to make some, I encourage you to invite Kate along.
