YOUR STORIES

A WESTERN PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE RANCH

filed in:

It’s always such an honor getting to do photos for another photographer, but when Collette messaged me wanting to announce her pregnancy with photos on a ranch, I couldn’t have been more excited. I grew up with horses (yep, a self admitted horse girl), so I’ll take any chance I can get to be around them! We drove out to a a friend’s house in Oklahoma, and got to explore the fields of horses, cows, and longhorns in the sunshine. It was such a beautiful day.

Collette brought three different outfits, but this blue dress was easily my favorite. She’s welcoming little Scottie Jean this December, and told me she’s already given her a color, baby blue. <3

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.

HEY, I'M KAITLIN
