Gorgeous pictures.

Stunning, Katie, as usual.

Awesome shot Katie. Another great one in the books.

Simply fabulous shot!

Besides agreeing to marry Chris, hiring you was one of the best choices I made for the wedding! Thank you for all of the wonderful pictures.

chills.

Another AWESOME wedding shoot Katie. Your candid work is truly amazing and people are truly blessed to be able to have you as their photographer. No offense to the bride and groom, but my favorite shot was of the husband and wife laughing and dancing...oh wait, that is my wife and I!

Great job as usual, Katie! I think you've found your calling! ;) Nice wedding shots, and the girls are getting more and more beautiful every day!

your girls are adorable! if you ever get sick of them send them down my way :)

I am in no way expecting a book considering the distance (but I am going to have a look out for it) but my favourite scent is the smell just after it rains. Its heavenly - so clean and enveloping.

Ok... I'm so not going to pass this up. Hi, Katie. I've been lurking around your blog because I'm a sucker for wedding pictures, and the sweet stories you tell. Now you know.

I love seahorses; in fact, I've had the awesome chance to be helping work on the Secret Lives of Seahorses exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Check it out here: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/efc/seahorse.aspx

...and my favorite scent is my mom's perfume when I get a big hug from her. *channeling steven colbert* book, please.

Orange blossoms. Lilacs. Onions being sauteed in butter. Freshly grated ginger. Toasted cumin seeds. I could go on and on and on with food smells. But I have to say it's the smell of spring that really gets me -- the orange blossoms and the lilacs. I want to drink them both.

How fun! I've got to go with the smell after it rains, but more specifically, it's the smell of the wet asphalt I love... I know, I'm weird :) Freshly washed bed sheets run a close second, too.

My chlorine-soaked teenage son! The scent takes me back to my childhood days of competitive swim. I was never a stellar swimmer, but as the youngest child, swim practice afforded an opportunity to be with the big kids, and be one of the gang. Plus, I know Chaz has just had a good physical workout when he's chlorine scented; he's spent time with real friends in real time, rather than cyber friends in the e-world.

my favorite scent is my new hubby after he showers. haha much better than his pre-shower smell ;) yay new book!

I think listen to your child read is one of the most wonderful things to hear. My daughter has learned to read this year and surprises me everyday with new words she can read. It is a proud moment for a parent.

What a great blog! That is such a special moment for you and your daughter to share...and a huge milestone for her! Congrats! My favorite scent is peppermint pipe tobacco...it floods me with many fond memories of my grandpa, as he loved to smoke from his pipe, thus his clothes, everytime I hugged him, smelled of it. Thank you for bringing that memory back alive to me today!

I love the smell of fresh cut grass, cucmuber melon, and sea island cotton. Oooh, I wish I was in the shower right now. Those are all soap scents.

And I totaly forgot my favorite scent is fresh cut grass.

beautiful work, as always.

my favorite scent is what i like to call "clean man." aka my husband after he gets out of the shower and puts on aftershave. :)

wow - didn't even read kristen's comment! now i don't feel original. i shall add to my favorite scents my mom's cinnamon cider candles that always and only burns at Christmastime :)

favorite smell= ripe mangos

In no order.....favorite smells Gardinas, Ben, after he has shaved. Not aftershave but the combo of shaving cream and him, garlic cooking in almost anything, roses, my dog when he's fresh from the groomer.
A&A would love a book if Kate hasn't already responded.
Love the pictures. Always
Lesley

Okay, I know I am #14 but I just wanted to play along too:) My favorite smell is my husband. Seriously. Ever since we started going together I have loved to smell him whenever we hug.

Well, I missed the top 10 but love that Anna brought tears to your eyes with her reading. Ahhh, I'm waiting for those reading moments...we have other sentimental toddler moments and first words/sentences right now. Sometime we just crack up at what he says. Ok, so on with it my favorite smell...gardenias remind me of Hawaii (ahhh) and of course my son right when he gets out of the bath with his hair still wet, and my husband after he puts after shave on =) Give the girls a squeeze for us!

beautiful picture! it just melts my heart...our "mira"Cole was 2.5 pounds (born at 29 weeks) and spent many months in the NICU! through many ups and downs, he made it through and is now a spunky 7 year old! hang in there sadie and isabella-God Bless!!

Oh my heart goes out to Kate and Paul and the girls. It is a long road, as I know all too well. You captured such a beautiful moment.

Katie,
I love you...your pics are amazing! I did Kate's hair and makeup for her fab wedding to Paul. While perusing your blog, I saw these beautiful photos. I am hoping the girls are home now and doing well. Please let kate and paul know that I am wishing them and their new family all the best. Love, Melanie
