Help Tell the Story of Kate Preftakes Photography 🤍

I’m looking for a few families to be part of something special!

On Friday, September 25th at 4:30 PM, I’ll be working with a professional video production team to create a new brand film that gives families a glimpse into what it’s really like to have a session with me—the laughter, movement, connection, and all of those little in-between moments I love to capture.

I’m looking for families who are available that afternoon and would love to be part of the project.

Selected families will receive a complimentary family portrait session AND the full gallery of professionally edited high-resolution images.

Because we’ll be creating photography and video for my website, social media, and advertising, participating families must be:

• Available September 25th at 4:30 PM
• Comfortable being photographed and professionally filmed
• Willing to sign a photo + video model release for everyone participating
• Comfortable wearing clothing selected or approved by me so everything photographs beautifully and fits the overall vision

Most importantly, I’m looking for families who are ready to relax, play with their kids, love on each other and let me capture what makes their family them.

If your family would love to be considered, please fill out this short application.

This is not first-come, first-served—I’ll be selecting families based on the needs and overall vision of the project.

Thank you for trusting me to preserve your family’s precious memories! 💕

It's time to book your fall mini sessions!! I am offering three different locations and dates this year. They are already booking up so schedule your spot soon! I can't wait to see you and photograph your family this fall!

Fall mini sessions have become one of those traditions I look forward to every year. I get to see so many familiar families, catch up with kids who somehow seem to have grown a foot since I last saw them, and meet new families who often end up coming back year after year. And there […]

I just got back from an amazing four day horsemanship ranch riding weekend with Luke Reinbold at Wind Hill Farm. It was truly amazing to be able to take a few days to bond with my daughter and my horse and learn lots of new skills all within the comfort and grace of a supportive group of people. The biggest takeaway is that we can look at any challenge in life and turn it into an opportunity of growth and improvement. Also, for me, control is just an illusion. That one might take a little more work on my end 😉

This weekend was hard work. Literally and figuratively. And hot. And humid. But exactly what I needed and my heart is so full and optimistic.

Speaking of horses, how adorable is this picture of Haley and Hunter and their little guy Archer on Haley’s childhood pony?! Best wedding moment ever!! ❤️

Part two of Stephanie and Maulin’s Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa wedding. I loved their Indian American fusion format, honoring both cultures and families. Stephanie and Maulin each pulled off their fashion forward looks perfectly. 🤍
