Beautiful.

Those of you who know me well know I have a slight obsession with brooches. It borders on the unhealthy. When I recently met with the designers who are going to help re-brand my studio (I will soon be Kate Kelly Photography!!! so stay tuned for exciting updates and a fresh, fabulous new look) they asked me to identify a few things I love. Some of my answers were red lipstick, letterpress cards, anything Anthropologie sells, and brooches - especially vintage brooches. They're so delicate and colorful and pretty and stylish. Brooches make me happy. Above are photos of two favorites from my collection. Leave a comment and let me know if YOU like brooches... or what it is YOU have a borderline unhealthy love for!!!

Rena + Shane's Album Design!

We're working on several albums right now in the studio.... thought I'd post one for you all to enjoy! (Click on an image to see the page spread larger.) Rena and Shane had a stunning, fun-filled wedding at the Sunriver Resort this past summer. They're getting a gorgeous 11x14 Laguna Album... can't WAIT to be able to give them the final product, it's going to be amazing!

The Darling Trainer Boys!

Can't believe these munchkins are so big! I remember holding Rylan the day he was born! And I photographed Carson when he was only hours old. How time flies! I ADORE these two... it's such a privilege being Auntie Katie! Mom Amy is like a sister to me.... "Through the Years!" Many of my favorite college memories include Amy, her beater car (The Dart), my beater car (Martin, the '77 Chevy Impala), road trips to Chehalis, John Denver, sprained ankle incidents, trying not to laugh in church, the list goes on. I'm blessed to have such a dear best friend! And she couldn't have more precious boys!

I Heart the Hernandez Family!

The three amigos! Aren't they precious?




Dear DJ, he's an amazing big brother and has the most tender heart!

Julian - the youngest and such a firecracker. Isn't he adorable?







Auntie Katie giving photo lessons! And receiving kisses from the boys!









Evan captured my heart from day one. His was the first birth story I ever photographed!


The Beautiful Family!

This family means the world to me.... Syb is like a sister - she's been a faithful friend to me the past five years - I wouldn't have made it through the down times without her! Celebrating up times has been awesome, too! Syb and Dom, can't tell you how much I adore you and your boys... wishing you the VERY BEST in your adventures in Morocco. Hope to visit you there! All my love...
