PepperLu
PepperLu is finally launching check out their website: www.pepperlu.com For all of your faux floor matts and backdrops. I have used all of their items and they are awesome photography props!
| Love the backgrounds AND that kid! I’m confused…isn’t PepperLu run by you and your husband? ( Oct 17th, 2010 11:09 pm)Katie, I love your blog and your photos are spectacular. I am just starting out and your work certainly inspires me. BWY, love, love, love the hat above. The little guy is adorable. Katie! Hi! I’m loving your new blog!! I saw the canvas pictures you had printed and was wondering what the sizes were that you had in your baby’s room? I was trying to figure out the best way to hang mine and I loved how you did it. ( Oct 13th, 2010 6:35 am)I ran across your blog via a shop on etsy (sorry I can’t remember which one!! I visit MANY over there). Anyway, I had to comment and say I am an instant admirer of you work! Absolutely stunning! ( Oct 12th, 2010 6:06 am)I’m SUPER DUPER excited about this….love the pic…great style..that boy is a STUD MUFFIN!!! ( Oct 11th, 2010 5:29 pm)Hi Katie, I lOVE……. your work, it’s all beautiful. Everyday I come and check out what’s new, it’s so much fun watching your blog. I hope to be as amazing as you and your husband one day. I love all your props too. Would you happen to know what pepperlu’s email address is. I live in Toronto and I see they may not ship to where I live. I’d like to send them a message but I need a Mac account for my computer, but I rather just use my free hotmail account. Would you mind sending me the address? Thanks You ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:30 pm) |

Lyla Rose is 7 months old!
Well I took these pictures when she was 6 months, but haven’t posted them. She is growing up so fast, I can’t even stand it!
She has seriously been the best baby EVER! We sure love having her in our family.
Also thanks everyone for your help on the family picture. Jason is blowing some up for us, can’t wait to show you!
| Oh my goodness, she is a little doll baby! We were in the middle of a move and I haven’t checked your blog in awhile, she sure has grown up! ( Oct 18th, 2010 8:43 pm)Gosh dang, you guys make cute babies!!!! ( Oct 18th, 2010 5:29 pm)Ok on the coral outfit, the headband on the left is from: http://www.huckleberryblooms.etsy.com Wow that is so funny, you will have to send me a picture of your little Lya Rose! Wow, aside from loving these, I am in love with that little strapless frilly pink thing she’s wearing in the second to the last! Would you share where in the world you found that? My daughter is almost 9 months, and I’d love to shoot her in this. The other thing that’s making me smile here is your daughter’s name. After having 3 boys, I was so excited to be able to name a baby girl. And my absolute favorite name we came up with was “Lyla”, my choice, and the middle name “Rose” my husband’s choice. I just came across your site last week, didn’t know there was a wee one with that exact name! It’s beautiful! But my alternate favorite was Kiera Rose, and my husband preferred that one. But how funny, and they are probably about the same age! ( Oct 13th, 2010 5:18 pm)AWWW, Lyla, she is too dang cute! ( Oct 13th, 2010 6:32 am)Thanks, i’ve gotten two recommendations to buy that one. You do fabulous work. ( Oct 13th, 2010 5:21 am)Seriously….could I maybe trade you one of my punkins for the lovely lyla? Please? ( Oct 12th, 2010 10:08 pm)Where is her headband from in the coral outfit?? She is such a beautiful little girl adorable!!! ( Oct 11th, 2010 7:32 pm)She looks really cute in her dress! Best baby EVER! ( Oct 11th, 2010 7:32 pm)adorable! ( Oct 11th, 2010 7:31 pm)Does it really fly by so fast? What a little doll! Love these photos! ( Oct 11th, 2010 7:04 pm)Oh Kate!!! She is to die for!!! Soo, soo cute!!! ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:50 pm)Wow…I always show the family your work and they always tell me how my little 8 month old Jolie and Layla look so much a like. I will have to show you a photo one day. I love all these photos. I love the pink romper and her pearls, you have to tell me where you get them. I would love it for Jolie. The last photo is my fave, so cute. ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:38 pm)KATE, she is your TWIN! Love her! ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:07 pm)I love her so much. She really is the cutest baby ever. ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:19 am)Hi, Oh my goodness! She’s beyond precious! ( Oct 11th, 2010 12:56 am)love! so cute, i especially love the drool! ( Oct 10th, 2010 7:51 pm)would you be willing to share what lens you used? I am looking to buy a new lens and having trouble deciding! I just photograph my two girls….i stay at home with them. kristen ( Oct 10th, 2010 7:38 pm)adorable~ these are priceless ( Oct 10th, 2010 12:35 pm) |

Aren’t these babies the cutest things ever! Still making me want twins.
| I love your photos! So beautiful and inspiring. I was wondering where you got that gorgeous giant green round pillow? ( Jan 23rd, 2011 2:02 pm)Hey, Now I’m sure at one point you already posted this, but I never had a little girl to give them to. I now need to know where you find all of these wonderful head bands you feature in many of your photos. Also I’m just a little curious, do many of your clients have these bows or do you barrow some form your girls when inspired? P.S. As I’m sure you already know you are an absolutely gifted photographer… its to bad I cant afford you Hi, My daughter wants the knit cap with ear flaps shown here (turquoise,sage, coral stripes)for her twins boys being born in December. Please let me know where I can either buy or get pattern for knitting them. Your pictures are fabulous! ( Oct 6th, 2010 3:07 pm)What treasures! Beautiful and tender captures.

Our family pictures
Well Monica was so fast at getting us our pictures! Someday we will be that fast:)
I need help deciding which picture to blow up. What do you think?!?
| HI Miranda, I’ve been drooling over these photos since you posted them last year. So inspirational! My daughter will be one in September and we are getting family pictures done…any tips on shopping for them? It will be me, my husband, and baby girl. You always seem to style everyone and make your photos that much more gorgeous! Love your work! ( Aug 19th, 2011 1:39 am)I love #3 because of the incredible vineyard background, and the family looks beautiful! But its a toss up because #4 is incredible light! Wow, hard to decide for you…they are all amazing…just finding your blog now, love your photography! From another busy mom photographer vintage lover with 3 precious girls! ( Oct 24th, 2010 2:29 pm)Definitly the 4th one so cute! What a beautiful family you have! Your girls are natural models…you and your hub are as well for that matter! I love these photos, beautiful location. ( Oct 18th, 2010 8:47 pm)4th one down is my pick!! You are hot! ( Oct 18th, 2010 5:32 pm)My outfit is from Anthropologie, the rest are from jcrew. ( Oct 14th, 2010 10:57 pm)These are all amazing! Blow them ALL up Will someone please share were the kids outfits are from? The pics are really wonderful! ( Oct 11th, 2010 7:15 pm)Kate & Dan, Send me the full res file of “final2.jpg” and I will print a huge metallic mounted… this one would look awesome on metallic paper! ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:14 pm)Can you guys be ANY cuter!??? ( Oct 11th, 2010 4:11 pm)I think the second one from the top is my favorite. Beautiful family! ( Oct 8th, 2010 11:40 pm)I would choose number 3 AND the last one! ( Oct 8th, 2010 1:53 pm)Kates!!! Breathtaking. You look so great! Your girls are gorgeous…How do you do it? ( Oct 8th, 2010 1:17 am)3rd one down for me! Gorgeous shots Kate! ( Oct 6th, 2010 9:28 pm)I love #3. .. there is just something so eyecatching about you leaning into your family. . . I too, would choose one with the vineyards behind you! I jumped over to Monica’s site. . . she had a few more posted. I loved the one of you and Dan.. . full body. So fun! ( Oct 6th, 2010 4:46 am)Your family is beautiful! ( Oct 5th, 2010 10:13 pm)SO Beautiful!! I’m going to vote for the 2nd one down Love all of Your photos, #3 is also my favorite They are all GREAT, but I like the first one best. I would go with Number three too! Good compostion and will enlarge well! Love that skirt- I had it on my ANthro wish list already!! ( Oct 4th, 2010 3:14 pm)Katie, I’m from Ca & now in Va and I so miss the beautiful wineries! I say to pick no. 3, you don’t want to miss out showing that beautiful winery in the background! ( Oct 4th, 2010 12:40 pm)So glad everyone loves ‘em! It wasn’t hard capturing gorgeous photos of a gorgeous family! I love them all too #3 is my vote. So perfect. Any you choose will be darling ( Oct 4th, 2010 3:16 am)Love them all! I have this skirt… Great taste!!! I would go with number 3 also. That scenery is too beautiful not to see in the background. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 9:48 pm)Thanks Katelyn. Got it at Anthropologie ( Oct 3rd, 2010 8:51 pm)I am DYING to know where all of the cuteness of your outfit came from?! LOVE the shirt, LOVE the skirt… it’s all fantastic! Your family is so beautiful. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 4:54 pm)LOVE them! My FAV family shot is the one where the whole chair shows with wine country in the background. So PERFECT. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 4:38 pm)Stunning family, location, photography, etc. My vote is for #3 as well! I was also wondering where you purchased your bib necklace? ( Oct 3rd, 2010 3:23 pm)I think we all love your outfit choices. I actually could not get them out of my head today; the colors selected are super creative! Are there any details you will share regarding them? Especially those gorgeous boots! We live on an island- it is better incredible weather, but cool outfits likes these make me miss the crisp weather. Is that really what the area looks like in the background where you live? Excellent work and I agree pick them all and alternate them from time to time. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 1:18 pm)WOW, you have a beautiful family! And you DO NOT look like you just had a baby! My vote is for either #2 or #4. Love the first one. And I love how different your little girls look from each other. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 2:39 am)WOW! These are amazing! Your family is BEAUTIFUL! My vote is for #3. ( Oct 3rd, 2010 1:32 am)The third one is the best! ( Oct 3rd, 2010 12:55 am)#3 is my favorite. Love your skirt! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 7:48 pm)How horrible they are all beautiful and perfect! Is there really only one you can pick? I would have such a hard time picking, oh what if you make them all big and then rotate them. Put one up for a while then another one. I would hate to have to make the decision, your little one’s photograph so perfectly. At least when my kids get photographed one or the other isn’t always paying attention so usually only a handful of both of them looking at the same time come out so it makes my decision easier, LOL. I usually have to order a few of one and a few of the other and if I’m lucky 1 photo of the both. Maybe once they are older they will cooperate better. Oh I wish you had posted some of the Disney ones, I LOVE DISNEY, big fan and luckily we live in California so we are lucky to go often thanks to passes. ( Oct 2nd, 2010 6:55 pm)I love the 3rd one, you can see all of you good and the background is stunning. It’s amazing! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 6:14 pm)Thanks everyone for your help! I’m leaning towards #3 or #5. This location is actually in CA, I wish it was in Utah! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 5:31 pm)My vote is number 2 or 3. These pictures are truly a family treasure! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 5:25 pm)First off your family is ADORABLE! The outfit that you chose are amazing! I would never have thought to put something like this together and yet it looks SO SO SO amazing! I love it!! I also love the white and cream dresses that your girls are wearing in the beach pictures. SO cute! My favorite family pictures are the first one and the third one. I LOVE the background in the third one best. It looks painted in. It is so perfect. Good luck! Whatever you choose is going to be amazing! =) ( Oct 2nd, 2010 4:35 pm)Gorgeous! your family is beautiful! i really like the first and second one, kinda leaning toward the second, but you can’t go wrong with any of them they are all amazing! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 3:52 pm)Katie, I LOVE THESE!!! i would probably blow up every one of them and display them in my house! ha Seriously love these, could your family be any more beautiful? Great background, and love the one of the girls dancing. ( Oct 2nd, 2010 2:39 pm)I LOVE them! The third one is my favorite too to blow up. Love the colors you chose, your girls look awesome. ( Oct 2nd, 2010 2:18 pm)Kate, you all have such style, how sassy! beautiful family pictures. i too like the third, but like the second- they are all gorgeous, love you choice of outfits for each. LOVE THOSE BOOTS & all the colors- you are super creative! Gorgeous family! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 1:24 pm)These are seriously so beautiful. I totally have picture envy right now. My favorite family photo is #3 and I love the baby’s smile in #2. ( Oct 2nd, 2010 6:14 am)You have the most beautiful family I’ve ever seen. And that backdrop is unreal. I want to move to Utah! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 5:46 am)I Love the 3rd picture for a family pic! And my favorite is 7th down! Amazing! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 5:29 am)Gorgeous photos! Love the vineyard! I like the 3rd one down – y’all are super sharp, the colors are super vibrant and the background is just GORGEOUS (matching your gorgeous family)!! So, that’s my pick! Or the first one…but definitely out of those two! ( Oct 2nd, 2010 5:06 am) |



























































Yes. This little boy is so cute. Sorry he is!!! One of the cutest I’ve seen in a long time-just perfect-so cute. I just had to leave a comment!!
( Oct 23rd, 2010 6:51 am)Do you only photograph beautiful people as a rule, or can you make everyone look this amazing?!
( Oct 16th, 2010 2:15 am)Amazing photos!
( Oct 15th, 2010 6:07 pm)I am lucky to have these three amazing guys in my life! I love every single photo! The only negative to your work is finding a spot for each one in my house…I’m working on it though! Katie, anytime you want to trade kids for a day…we can…I would love to do girly things for a day!
( Oct 14th, 2010 7:34 pm)adorable adorable adorable!
( Oct 14th, 2010 5:56 pm)What a beautiful family! Gorgeous pictures!!
( Oct 14th, 2010 4:18 pm)Wow! You did fantastic with the pictures! This baby boy is one of the cutest baby I’ve seen!!!
( Oct 14th, 2010 12:56 pm)Me too, re another! They are too precious! Congrats to the family and how lucky they are to have had these awesome pics taken, they all are super!
( Oct 14th, 2010 12:13 pm)These little boys are ADORABLE!!! I thought my son was the cutest baby ever but holy cow, to die for. She must be the world’s happiest mommy to have two little boys that beautiful. I want another one now, geez.
