Family Portraits

One of my favorite things in the world to photograph is families.
This morning I shot Ashley and her adorable daughter LuLu!
Don't you just love their matching dresses?




Feel free to email me at colormekatie@gmail.com if you're looking to hire someone to take some fun portraits. I'd love to meet you!

    My husband and I had our engagement photos taken in this park. It was where we spent much of our dating time since it was halfway between our apartments. I loved seeing these pics there--maybe someday we'll take another set with our kids :)

    Your pictures are always so gorgeous! I finally decided to stop lurking and comment, because New York always looks so beautiful through your lens. I can't believe I've walked right past a good number of places you've photographed!

    One day soon I really will be tempted to take up that portrait offer!

    The first picture is beautiful! Usually it's the child who is looking away from the camera and the parent who is staring at it. I love this one, it's a complete role reversal. :)

    Is it bad that I just read all of your blog posts in a day because they are so beautiful and uplifting?

    Wow I just found your video on youtube about the thought bubble video you made. I was so amazed at your creativity, and how you just went for your idea and did it.

    Your photos are also amazing. I always look at your photos before I read the entry :p it gets me into your blogs. Keep it up and hope to see more of your works soon.

    Oh um... I don't know if you'll tell me, but I was just wondering how you got your blog known. haha it's a weird question, but I wanted to see what people thought about my writing and wanted to get my blog out there into the world. :) Thank you!
