I just thought I was hungry. Really hungry. Like hangry. But instead- my appendix was dying on me and things got a little crazy. So it’s taken a minute to introduce you to my 2022 Senior Company (a.k.a. the Studio Kate Senior Model Team). This group of Rome Seniors are the best of the best and I am thrilled to introduce you to my very favorite seniors!!!!!

Unlikely Places Let me tell you what I love about Caroline. I get a text: “I want you to take my senior pictures. How can I make that happen?” “You just did! When do you want to do them and is there anywhere you have in mind?” “Nope.” And that was that! And it was […]

I have to be honest- I cried the first time I looked at this portrait. It’s absolutely stunning to me. Jaimee’s smile, hair flying around her face, sweet Bennett playing peek-a-boo with the camera and laughing at his mama. Maybe it’s because I’m a boy mom (Do I actually qualify for that title if I […]

You know what I love? When I finish a sessions and I can’t stop looking through the gallery and smiling back at my friends in the portraits. And this session puts a grin on my face every time I look at it! I mean- how can you look at these two giggling and laughing at […]
