Emerson

Sweet Emerson is Cami's third child and boy is she beautiful. Cami has done this type of shoot (b&w with a stark white background) with all of her children and so we did Emerson when Cami was in town from Colorado. We took a ton of photographs and Emerson would only look at the camera a handful of times, but the ones we got are perfect. Thanks Cami again, for having Kate Benson Photography photograph for you!

Ol' St. Louis

Of things to come... stay tuned

Out Of Town To St. Louis

I'll be out of town visiting one of my best friends and doing her pregnancy portraits from October 19-23. Please contact me after these days. Thanks! Oh and to put you in the creepy Halloween spirit, watch THIS. This movie is my all time "scary movie" favorite... it's a good one!

Ava Ray

This is Marks brothers little one, Ava Ray. She is Tyler and Lisas first child, first delight, first lamby love, first sugar plumb, first stinker poo... you get the point. She is such an angel, I've never heard a grumpy peep out of this one, her nature is extremely pleasant. She comes from amazing parents who are such beautiful people. It's hilarious to see Lisa hold her baby... well let me preface you with the fact that Lisa is tiny! She probably reaches 12" on her tippie toes- heh, heh... no really she's little so when she holds Ava, they're the same size. If anyone is going to the Thriller performance by Odyssey Dance Company... watch for little Lisa, she out-shines everyones performances by like 5' in my opinion.

A BIG THANK YOU !!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me in my photography. Thank you to all my clients (old and new,) readers, commentors, lurkers, business associates, etc. My business as Kate Benson Photography has been such a thrilling experience. I have been able to meet the most fantastic people through what I do... I LOVE what I do, and if it weren't for you I would not be able to do it. So thanks, you all are wonderful!

The Cook Kids

How gorgeous are these children? Yeah, my lucky kids share their genes with them, just not the towhead part. Do you think it's possible for me to have any blue-eyed children?

Bill and Karla Wedding

Bill and Karla were married on such a beautiful week-end. They had their reception at Conrads Ranch and the leaves were just starting to change. They had set everything up outside and a little storm blew in so everyone scrambled to get everything inside and I started to cry. Not really, but I wanted to, until... the sun broke through and cast the most amazing hazy rays, then I wanted to jump up and down with joy and shout Great thanks to the Photographic Gods.
Their reception was really beautiful, I loved the colors they picked out. And I have to give a big shout out to Audrey from Studio Stems for doing brilliant flower arrangements, Jason Mcgrew and Jessica Myrick for second shooting with me... you guys rocked it!
