Catching Up - Once Again

It seems another month has gone by and I'm once again playing catch up with my blog.  I'll just give myself some grace and move forward from here.  The summer was intentionally low-key in an effort to soak up as much family time as possible and recharge a bit.  Now we have moved right into Back To School and the fall schedule is just about full with sessions, so it's a good thing I'm recharged!

Here are some highlights from the last month - I warn you there are a LOT of images!  Scroll, scroll, scroll.   :-)

Finished up Jake's senior session at his high school.

Here are a few from earlier in the summer when we met up at a local park.  You would never guess how hot it was by looking at these!  Not one complaint from him.

My beautiful niece was in town for a few days....again, it was SO hot out, but she hardly complained at all (maybe just a tiny bit).  Smoothie King did the trick when we finished up.  Thanks for being such a great sport Kristen!

I've always wished I could dance like this....

Then I met little Sophia for her 4 year birthday shoot.  It's been such an honor photographing her milestones over the years!  Look at this amazing location - the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge in Hillsboro, MO.  It was worth the drive!

Four is so fun - and so energetic!  I just love her personality and cute little face.

And then it was time for gorgeous little Macie's 3 year shoot - just look at her sweet face....how do her parents ever say No to that?  They are in big trouble, I tell you!

Get your dance on!

Last, but certainly not least, my handsome little grandson turned 8 months old.  He is such serious little guy, just like his Daddy, sitting back and taking everything in, then MAYBE cracking a little smile if you're lucky.  Oy!  We were practically standing on our heads, but yet, still Mr. Serious-Face.

That little foot.  I may have a slight obsession with tiny little feet.  :-)

Growling at his little bear....

 
But wait, there's a SMILE - woo hoo!

Thank you for stopping by today.  Next up a fun, personal post.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my favorite families for their little curly, blonde-haired cutie's 3rd birthday shoot.  She's a 4th of July baby, so usually the weather is a bit, ummmm - WARM when we do these, but not this year.  It turned out to be a gorgeous spring-like evening.  Just perfect for walking around the property behind their home for these.  We decided to play it low-key - no big props, just catching her cute personality in action!

I'm pretty sure we accomplished that.  *Warning - many adorable pictures in this post!*

Those perfect little curls!

Deep in thought.

Okay, we had a small prop, but come-on - we couldn't pass up a chance to use this adorable patriotic phone!  It was perfect.

The leaf - just floating by...

Mommy & Daddy jumped in for a few too, such a stunning family!

Haha - love her little "cheeeese" face!

And just look how she adores her Mommy.

Thanks so much Reeves family!

Catching Up

Oh my, has it really been so long since my last post?  *hanging head in shame*  I guess it really has been that long.  My goal for the remainder of 2015 will be to have a new post up each week, even if it's just a short post with a few new images.

So much has been happening at KatMahoney - lots of family sessions, Luke is now 6 months old (what?) and summer is upon us.  I made the decision to slow down a bit for the summer, to give myself a chance to unwind and focus more on family for the next few months.  I'm still here though, just not going a million miles a second like I normally do.

Here are a few of my favorite images since I last posted!

This awesome couple had their maternity session...

.... and then welcomed their baby boy.

He just happens to love fishing like his Daddy!

Had a fun play-date with this awesome 4.5 year old!

Met up with an old friend for a super-secret Father's Day surprise!

Had a great family / 1st birthday shoot with one of my favorite families!

See this guy here - the one on the right - FIRST Birthday!

 Luke turned 3 months old!

 ...and then 4 months...

...and 5 months! 

Spotted a unicorn - on a bike....

Did something completely different for a senior - in her high school theater! 

Had a family reunion - and lived to tell about it.  I kid, I kid!

 Spent a great evening with these 3 beauties - and their big brother Brody!

And traveled to a galaxy far, far away!  More on this one

Thanks for your patience!  It won't be so long until the next post...
