I recently (and accidentally) discovered my 20 month old daughter Millie's intense love for Tejano music.
Any chance that this has anything to do with her parents' intense love for margaritas, queso, and guacamole? You be the judge. =)
Happy weekend...I'll have lots mo' to show on Monday!
This couple and I stirred up some fun out in the country at Storybook Ranch last Saturday. We made an ice cold pitcher of pink lemonade in honor of their just-about-ready-to-pop-out baby girl, and it was delish!
They read to their belly bump as well as the farm animals...Baby Animals is the DaVinci Code of Baby Lit...it's on every must-read list!
These lovebirds took a stroll around the ranch and had what I like to call some "mommy-daddy time".
What a hot mommy! AND, she's sassy and full of personality to boot!
"Brad Pitt" (as I like to call him) had his fill of the spotlight, so the focus came back to mom...and boy, is she a beauty!
Thanks so much for a fun time out at the ranch...I can't wait to meet your baby girl! Muah to the bump!
Yeah, me too, but here are some more pics of it alongside my new photographer homies in the great town of Seattle.
Here it is hanging out with its new buddies, Jamie "James" Huffman and Seattle's very own kick-arse dog photographer, Erin Vey.
Now it's chillin' with Jan Garcia (possibly the nicest guy in Orange County) and James,
hugging James,
jumping with James,
and posing like a rock star with Jesh de Rox (hey, Dustin, whatch lookin' at???) and
my two time team-member (peas n' carrots, that's us!), Jason Leon Clark,
a couple of models,
as well as my very own fishmonger friend, Anders.
The green shirt had a chance to take a few snaps of Kelley, Dustin, Erin, and of course, my photog BFF, James!
(and he is...a trip, I mean.)
And WHY is she single???
OK, guys...simmer down. =)
Stay tuned for a kick-arse maternity session, coming your way very soon!
...I guess we can be real friends, huh? I had SUCH a blast in Seattle, and have to thank my workshop roommate/buddy Jamie Huffman, aka "James" (even though she's a girl) for snapping my new banner pics of me...some of you may know that I would MUCH RATHER be behind the camera than in front, but James helped me learn to trust the process and just vamp it up! The new blog look is definitely inspired by what I learned at the Anti-Workshop...to be true to myself and rock it out hardcore. So, here I am. My soul is naked as a jaybird, and I plan on stepping everything up a notch so I can BRING IT!
Here is a peek at my adventures in Seattle, starting with the Market.
Stay tuned...next post you'll get a visit from my new friends...we were all sad to leave...Thursday was like the last day of summer camp. It was a blast to bond with these folks and I am so excited about what is to come from all of these wonderful friendships. I can't wait to introduce you to my new homies!
Well, not so much sleepless, but I'm definitely photographing more & sleeping less. As some of you may know, I am here in Seattle at the Anti-Workshop...a workshop for wedding and portrait photographers who like to do things a bit differently. So far, it has been such a great opportunity to work alongside other creative minds and grow and fine tune my style and ideas about what Juxtapose Photography and Kate Mefford stand for. OK, I am officially grossed out because I referred to myself in the 3rd person, but whatevs...I'm just gonna walk away from that one, and show you some fun stuff I have been able to catch while here in Seattle.
Here is an easy favorite...I have to give mad props to my boy Anders and his homies at the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market for hookin' a sister up. I had been dreaming about this shot for a good 24 hours, and they helped me reel it in like a champ! Thanks guys!
This one goes out to the lovely ladies of Seattle's Red Hat Society who were so adorably sweet! Love them!
Just makin' the model sit out in the middle of one of the busiest streets in Seattle...ya know, 'cause that's a really safe thing to do.
This one was taken at the back entrance of the brewing company where our classes met.
Don't read anything into the sign near her legs unless you have a warped sense of humor. If you do, then go right ahead!
Vroom, vroom, baby!
Love the garden hose in this one...so everyday yet so sleek all in the same frame...a bit of juxtaposition I suppose!
OK, so they aren't even eating NACHOS!
This nicely tanned, just-got-back-from-a-vacay-in-Mexico couple are snackin' on TACOS from El Juarez in McKinney (downtown, natch), and lovin' every minute of it.
These kids really trusted me during this shoot. I have to give them props for trespassing along with me to get onto this rooftop.
See what a little illegal activity can produce? Chiggity-check it...
And my personal fave...
Muah, my little trespassers...can't wait to shoot your wedding!!!
OK, ok. I've had enough harassment over the release of these images! I will set them free for all to see. Finally. Can I find another word with the "eeee" sound on the end just to make a cute rhyme? Um, how 'bout...uh, yeah. I'll stop before I annoy myself.
Seriously. I had an a-frickin'-mazing time with Em, Trav, and their whole gang (including Mr. Lea...I mean JIM.) The fams and their wild herd of friends took over Storybook Ranch. I had so much fun photographing this event, period. What made it even sweeter was that I had my homegirls there...my lovely and yet hilarious mom (aka Susie) second shot for me (we share a brain, I swear...) and Wendy Kidd, event coordinating guru, helped me rock the house all night long! We were doin' the booty shake left and right, trying to get shots, and really had a BLAST...here they are...the long awaited shots from Em & Trav's big day!
Leave a comment if you are feelin' these images, or if ya want me to holla atcha when the full gallery is up...
Dance off!!!
And the beat goes on...
Check back tomorrow morning for a whopper of a post!
OK...
You heard it here first! Spoons Cafe's new digs are gutted. Go check it out on their blog:
I met this little chica and her sweet sweet parents at a birthday party a couple of months ago, and they just HAD to get Juxtaposed. We met up at Storybook Ranch and had a ball playing with, well, a ball, bubbles, and a little car that goes vrrrrooom. Even with all of her toys, she still managed to have a blast playing with nature's selection of gravel, weeds, and flowers! Such a doll, she was! Seriously...she looks like a real live doll. =)
Here I am, courtesy of Meez! I saw that my friend and fellow photog, Julie Butler, had this on her blog, and since I REALLY needed to be distracted from editing (ha ha ha, yeah), I have spent the last 30 minutes creating myself online. Those that know me, isn't this SCARILY like me?
As I am editing, I am getting so excited about these images for one of my fave couples, Ames & Marky-Mark. OK, so I don't really call them that, but I just might be a tad bit punch drunk off of Peanut Butter M&Ms again. Here are some of my favorite images that I hadn't quite gotten to when I made my first post...
Click on it. You know you want to.
The quintet rolled out and the dj rolled in and everybody rolled up their sleeves to get their boogie on!
Am I the only one who thinks that Mark practiced this move?
Love those kids!
If anyone is interested in getting access to the gallery when it goes up, email me at kate@juxtaposephotography.com and I will hook it up!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am helping out my friend, Karen, the owner of Spoons Cafe (here in McKinney, TX) with the administrative/design aspects of her new blog. Spoons Cafe's Blog, "The Daily Spoonful", will chronicle the move and construction processes as the restaurant moves to its new location in Downtown McKinney. So...if ya have a chance, go check it out and bookmark it. Check it daily and leave us some blog love via comments! Muah!

These crazy kids got hitched, minus the dog...but that doesn't mean that it was any less of a tail-wagger. Amy & Mark were married at one of my faves, Storybook Ranch in McKinney, and they rocked the dance floor till the break o' dawn. Big thanks to my homegirls that helped make this a kick-arse wedding...Lindy, my kick-arse second shooter, Kate of RainFlorist Designs, Wendy from Each & Every Detail, Allie of Cakes by Allison, and Cindy Mills for comin' out to help out and observe on the photog front.
