katelynvonfeldt.com bio picture



I have big feet and a bigger heart. I love to love and I love to give. I’m a brownie-baking, apron-sewing, picture-taking plain-ole silly girl. I’m a little too emotional and a lot too busy. I love my friends and family and their never-ending patience with me. I have way too many creative ideas and not enough time to complete them all. I am gullible, addicted to carbs, and my handwriting looks like a 1st grader’s. My camera is my outlet, my safe haven, my friend. Pictures are my words.

 Bookmark this page and check back often! This is the place where you can see my most recent work. I will post my latest session images and sneak-peeks, promotions, and personal pictures.

keller | 3 weeks

Rebecca was a VERY pregnant bridesmaid in a wedding I attended in October. I was too chicken to give my card directly to her, so I gave it to a friend and eventually my name somehow made it to Rebecca. I pussy-footed around a bit- but I still got exactly what I wanted. ;) By the time we were able to fit Keller’s session in he was 3 weeks old and NOT very sleepy. I’ve had two or three newborn sessions that I’ve knocked out in 2 hours- most take between 3 and 4. Keller and I kicked it together for nearly 5 and half hours. Thankfully, Rebecca was incredibly understanding and patient while we waiting for him to get comfortable and fall asleep. Got to love it when a client will do anything to get the shot.

I especially love the connection in the right photo.

My absolute favorite thing about newborn sessions is catching their “smiles”. I think his little grin completely makes the left picture. And the same with the exhausted baby face in the right one.

Bringing it in tight. I don’t do it often, but I should.

I don’t know the whole story, but I believe Keller is named after a dear friend of his parents who passed way. The tattoo is connected with the friend, so Rebecca and Jeremy requested a picture incorporating the two.

Itty bitty baby parts.

Isn’t Becca beautiful?

The last shots that we waited FOREVER for. He did not want to be placed in the basket, but finally succumbed to la-la land and we got our way.

Thank you Jeremy and Becca for being so patient! I hope you agree that it was totally worth it.

While In Kansas WAYY back in October, I did a mini shoot with my friend, Lindsey’s, kids before dashing to the airport. We wandered through the streets between West Port and the Country Club Plaza in the high sun to get these. It was so incredibly bright out- the kids did such a great job of working with me and forcing sensitive, squinty eyes open wider. I don’t often, if ever, shoot in full sun so this session was a bit of a challenge for me. To minimize shadows and squinting, I placed the sun to their backs and dialed up to compensate.

Seriously Linds? This chickie needs to get into modeling.

Hayden did SO well dealing with me and having a camera in face. I absolutely love the one of him trying to cover up his smile.

one dozen

maple walnut cinnamon rolls in the oven. But that isn’t significant compared to the same number of miles ran tonight.

Yes. I made it to 12 miles. Well, Robert and I made it to 12 miles. Robert and I serve with AmeriCorps together and have formed a rather unusual and unexpected friendship through running. I always look forward to our runs together- in fact, I know I never would have made it this far without him there to push, encourage and motivate me (and I for him). We decided a few weeks ago that we would run the Donna half-marathon for breast cancer on February 21st, and I am confident in saying that I know we will be able to complete it. There’s even casual talk of a full marathon…. (but just talk right now)

After burning 1300 some odd calories, I’m off to stuff my face. :)
