my fab photographer friends on monday
utah newborn baby and child photographer
I have some super talented photographer friends all around the country (and some around the world). Over the next few weeks, I am going to feature them and their fabulous work.
This week you get to meet the fabulous Kate Craft from www.katecraftphotography.com. Kate is from Northern Wisconsin and specializes in children and families.
10 Questions
About the image…
1. Why do you love this image? The first one is just so fun to me I really enjoy capturing kids as they are. The second one was from my favorite session of 2010. I had envisioned this shot for awhile and it all came together perfectly, the light, the subject, the surroundings my vision came to be and I love those moments too.
2. What were your settings with this image? 1/500 1.8 iso 400 and 1/750 2.8 iso 800 both were shot with my 50mm lens.
About Photography…
3. What do you love about Photography? A lot! I love being able to capture a special moment in time… I love the challenge of catching that image that is “just you”, that sweet smile, belly laugh, or mischievous smirk. I love that I get to meet new people and connect with old friends too. I love knowing that I am producing something that a family will cherish.
4. What type of Photography do you specialize in and why? I do mostly children and family at this point. I think because I have young children and understand how fast they are growing and changing everyday. These moments are priceless. I am making the move into seniors market this spring. I have a few senior sessions under my belt and they have been so fun I love the clothes, the personalities, and mostly getting to be a small part of such a big accomplishment in their lives.
About your life?
5. What are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? Well photography. 
I am a music junkie although I never learned how to play anything 
6. Who or what inspires you? Who or what doesn’t would be an easier question for me. I find true inspiration in passion, people who are passionate about what they do light a fire in me.
7. Who are some of your favorite singers/bands? Dave Matthews band, kings of Leon, Weezer, Willie Nelson, Sublime, U2, Paolo Nutini, Pink, Matt Costa, Mason Jennings, Kate Nash, Johnny Lang, Jack Johnson, Hole …this list may go on forever so I will stop. LOL
8. What is your favorite movie of all time? That is a tough one I would say either True Romance or the Crow
9. What would your ideal day be like? I would get to sleep in wake up to an ice cold Mt dew with out that feeling of this is a BADDDDDDD breakfast. Then have a fun shoot where all the planning comes together perfectly. Perfect weather, perfect clothing choice, feeling inspired while shooting….. Then a great lunch at a delicious restaurant where my children are well behaved and I actually get to eat said meal LOL. Either a beach or movie kinda of afternoon with the family. And an easy bedtime with the kids. Follow that up with a bubble bath and a back massage and you have a perfect day:)
10. If you weren’t a photographer, what other profession would you like to pursue? I have no idea hahahaha

what to wear wednesday
utah newborn and child photographer
A common question and concern is… what are we going to wear for our pictures? I like to suggest that you don’t go matchy-matchy but coordinate. Pick a color family and coordinate. Sometimes it helps to pick a sweater or top and build out from there. Also by shopping at one or two stores, they tend to carry clothes that coordinate together already so much of the work is done for you.

- Love those colors
- Looks amazing Holly!! I love those colors together!
mine in the snow
utah newborn and child photographer
My family was thrilled when I announced that I wanted to get a family picture in the snow before our oldest left again for school. We drove to the American Fork Canyon looking for a spot that didn’t have 3 feet of snow. The kids were especially happy about the 11 toasty degrees outside. I agree it was freezing and I was able to get four pictures taken before they all ran off of the warmth of the car. We stopped for hot chocolate and the cold was almost forgotten by the time we got home… almost.
- beautiful. love it!
- Aren't you just so glad you made them all get out to take that picture? You all look beautiful. They will remember this picture because it was so cold! Your blog and pictures are just fabulous. Take time to enjoy your creative side! You are so lucky to be this talented.
- Your family is beautiful! And HUGE :)
- Beautiful family! Love this image.
- Gorgeous family photo! You guys are all beautiful!
- Holly! You have a gorgeous family! What a wonderful capture! Happy 2011 to you all!
- Brrrr... but what a beautiful family shot!
- Gorgeous! I love the snow shot. Way to go braving that cold and getting the whole family in a shot!
- Wow, Holly, you have a beautiful family! Happy New Year!
- What a beautiful family!!!
- Holly - you are like a model family!! I absolutely love this capture!! I would definately hang it large in your new home!! Miss you!!!
- you have a beautiful family!! definitely worth getting cold for it!
