A Lovely Afternoon with Kate

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting~ Emerson


I was totally planning on shooting just a couple valentine minis with Kate this afternoon. Her pink on pink striped walls are the perfect back drop and the lighting in her room is gorgeous. But as it would turn out she was putting the finishing touches on her valentines... So I did a little story telling session with her instead. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing Kate just being Kate... I know this is becoming quite the trend for children's photography. I prefer capturing kids in their own environment. Now we did ask Kate to look at the camera and pose a few certain ways but most of the time she chatted with her grandmother on her "FOR REALS" phone... Hoot is so envious! She finished up her valentines, played on her leap pad explorer and played in her awesome tent. It was very low key and easy. If you are interested in booking a Story Telling Session, contact me for details... It's a lot of fun and I come to you!

Kate is so sweet... she was very serious about her conversation with grandmother... I love that she had her number written down on the back of a paper in special place in her room. It was just so sweet.

I also love the in between stage... She still plays with her dolls but it won't be long and she will be fully TWEEN!!! I want her to stay little...

Kate is good girl!

And has a good "FREDS" list too.

  1. I love these Shelly. You really captured Kate. Thank you so much. I just noticed that Kate crossed me off the "fred list' in pencil and asked her about it. Apparently, one day when she got in trouble I got the X….she feels really bad about it now.

  2. Kim I did not see that!! Cracking up... How quickly they right us off! At least it was in pencil so maybe you can redeem yourself! I had such a great time with you two! PS Libbie is loving the jammies Kate gave her... I love them all but she LOVES the jammies!

  3. I must admit…it did hurt my feelings for a nanosecond but I am over it now. Glad Libbie likes the jammies. And notice "Lidy" (Kate's dyslexia there) is NOT crossed off:)
