hey friends, i'm katelyn

really rainy evening the night I drove down to meet Jason and Jackie for the first time. I lugged my sample albums into a little mexican place and we sat and talked and I loved them.  I ended up shooting their wedding, a close friend’s wedding and then Jackie’s brother’s wedding too! I think it’s easy to see that I love this family. There is just something about them. Maybe it’s the country-ness of the Hodges side of the family… or maybe it’s how genuinely sweet Jason and Jackie’s personalities are… I just really love them.  So months and months ago (before I stopped offering portraits), Jackie contacted me and told me they were expecting…

and I SQUEALED! So exciting! These two are going to be the cutest parents and I couldn’t wait to see Jackie with her little belly! …. Well I shouldn’t say “little”… her due date is coming up rather quickly!  Jackie got out of the car last weekend and she was just glowing. I’ve heard people say that pregnant women have a “glow” but I rarely notice it. Jackie’s glow was so evident and she looks so beautiful. This is one gorgeous family and I can’t wait til this little one enters the world! Congrats Jason and Jackie! It was such an honor to be a part of this new phase of life! Love you both!!!!!

  Love this:)  The image on the right was the reaction to me suggesting that they may need a few more canvases after this session:):) I’m sure Jason was thrilled at my suggestion:) And this is the reaction after …. “Smile! You guys are having a BABY!!!!!!!” I call this “farm light”… and I like it:) beautiful. Jackie you’re so cute:) Favorite!
