IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!

I have finally finished my portfolio and brand-spankin'-new flashy blog!!!! It took me what seems like forever to get it all together, but I am stoked to announce Katy Marie Photography is up and running!!!


Here it is!!!


have a look around, peruse the blog, and tell your friends!!

<3<3

michaela & dave

michaela & dave are super cool, laid back, go with the flow kind of people. the kind of people anyone would love to know. dave is a huge goober and 100% kindhearted (he reminds me of my ryan, actually), and michaela has a warmth about her that made me feel comfortable and welcome from the time i walked in the door (even after mapquest sent me in the complete WRONG direction, and i was having a pseudo anxiety attack by the time i finally arrived. a "double check your route" lesson i learned the hard way that afternoon). together, they are silly and happy and oh so in love. together, they certainly are perfection.

i love me some suspenders!

thank you both for letting me share your wedding day with you. you both made me feel right at home. <3

chelsea & cj (photo overload!!)

i got a little carried away with this one. but it's my blog, and i'll post if i want to!

this was a great wedding, held at the davis islands garden club. right on the water, a great mix of greenery and ocean, the sun shining all afternoon.

can you say OMG GORGEOUS!?

love this couch.

cut it out!!!! too beautiful.

asdlfjaldjfaldkjfj!! i like this photo a little ;]

one of my faves of mommy and groom. thumbs up, marriage!!

lauren and benson get hitched :]

here are just a few pics from their wedding. i could post so many more, let me tell you. so.... i might :]

but this is a good start.

lauren made these passports! what a crafty little lady, right?

gorgeous couple.

i know i've been bad..

all i can say is holy moly. i have been awful with my blog these last few months.. but i haven't forgotten about it. oh no, i have not. in fact, i'm in the middle of setting up my real-life, big-time website and professional blog. but, like many big projects, i didn't know how much work it was going to be until i started. and then i found myself scratching my head, because i hadn't planned my business well enough to make a solid portfolio site. so, out of fear and horrid intimidation, i put the project on the back-burner and continued with the busiest month of my photographer life. april was cuhrazy! and now that may has come and gone, it's time for me to get back to planning my bid'niss and getting my website/blog in order.

needless to say, i have a lot of updating up to do. sooo let me begin with lauren and benson. theirs was one of the most comfortable weddings i've ever done. not only did they bring me along on their cruise to the bahamas, but ryan and i got to know their families super well that week. they treated us like we were an integral part of the celebration, and shooting didn't feel like work. not even for one itty bitty little second.

here's a few snapshots from their engagement session in nassau. :]

the surroundings in this last photo seem pretty peaceful, right? but seriously, lauren and benson were so patient with me while we dodged cars to get that under-the-bridge shot. ryan kept his eyes peeled for crazy nassau drivers, and after about a hundred and twenty attempts, we finally got it. really, it's one of my favorite shots.. ever.

i have much more catching up to do. for those of you who have stuck around, thank you from the bottom of my heart. there are some great changes afoot, and i can't wait to share them with you. <3
