Every newborn session is different depending on people and preferences for dress, and I absolutely love that. Some get dressed up, some prefer casual; both are beautiful. I will say, though, this was my first session where the family chose to wear pajamas for the shoot, and I was pretty obsessed with the vibe. They stuck to muted tones, which is my favorite pallet, personally, and the look really invited an honest and relaxed feel to the entire session for each family member. This truly is what the fourth trimester looks and feels like: a whirlwind, a constant state of doing, of caring for, of exhaustion, wonder and sweetness. I’m always in awe of motherhood and the bodies and capability of women when I shoot newborn sessions. Mothers are incredible powerhouses.

Dancing in the kitchen was requested. And, to my shock and excitement, he also asked they play David Bowie. Naturally my photography dreams came true in that moment. Every one of these is pure joy.

Anyone else out there smashing parenting on three hours of sleep with constantly sick kids and emotions running wild and jobs you have to continue to do from wherever your are at the moment while cooking meals and running your household and making frequent trips to the pediatrician? Just me? Didn’t think so. I’m with ya. Sending warm hugs.









Such a sweet newborn session to welcome baby Hudson. ❤️

It’s really hard to narrow down favorites from this wedding I shot in June. The whole thing from start to finish was gorgeous, intimate, fun, vulnerable and loving—from the couple to the friends and family. I thought I’d share some here, and I’m sharing some of the sequences that I love in more detail on my Instagram page. But these are some highlights! I’m so deeply happy for these brides; they make a stunning couple and I was so honored to capture their day.

A preview of the preschool photography I've done this year. It was so fun to work with the kids and experiment with taking more candid-style school photography shots. It was pretty adorable!

It's that time if you're looking to book for your kids, or if you're gifting a session--makes a great gift from a grandparent for your graduating senior! Please book now so we're not scrambling to save a date at the last minute.

I was recently going through old stuff at my mom's, and we stumbled upon my own senior photos circa 2002 which were so cliché, awkward and had a cringey studio vibe to them. 😩🙈 If you want some beautiful, natural, outside-the-box photos of your kids for their senior shots lemme know! Have them brave the elements with me, sit in the flowers or get shoeless at the beach. I love capturing people doing an activity they love In a natural setting as well.

Sessions like these fall under my Creative Portraits at www.kateolsenphotography.com/pricing You can contact me directly through my website.
