My Emmett, Tomorrow, you are an official Kindergartner. Part of me is the crying mom. You know – the mom that just sits in her car after drop off and sobs. Because every day, you’re growing up. You need me less, or at least in different ways. I’m sad because I’m scared to send you […]

My baby is five. Five. One whole hand. Half a decade. FIVE. It feels like yesterday he was born, and I held him in my arms for the very first time, and thought, “I’m a mom. a mom.” But at the same time, I can hardly remember my life without him. Five years ago, he gave […]

Even longer since I started my journey as a professional Colorado wedding photographer. 10 years. It’s a long time. If my business were a person, she’d be entering her awkward, […]

Fun. Natural. Personal. Stunning. It’s what my photography is about. It’s what my business is about. And now, it’s what my branding and website are about. After more than eight years owning Kate Marie Photography, I’ve refreshed my business. A new look, a new feel, and a more personal approach than ever.
