After this, I will no longer be posting updates and new stuff to <a href="http://photographybykate.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">photographybykate.blogspot.com</a><wbr>…instead all of my latest work and misadventures will be up on a new site that’s currently under construction. I’m also going to be changing my name to Katie Nesbitt Photography. Photography by Kate was a temporary name I created for myself while I was still engaged. I’d always intended to become Katie Nesbitt Photography after the wedding. Now that I’m married, I’m excited to rebrand myself using my new name!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span"><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Some other things to get excited about: Handmade, DIY packaging I’m working on myself! I’m incorporating a lot of the items I really loved from my own wedding…like these burlap flowers designed after the one I wore in my hair on my wedding day. I’m really REALLY excited about this stuff…I love working on projects, making things, and seeing my ideas come to life so I can’t wait to share these things with everyone! Also, I’m working on getting a client proofing system together. In the future, all of my packages will offer a proofing gallery of all images for you to view and purchase online. These are awesome for friends and family!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">So for now, here’s a preview of the packaging I’m putting together…And please make sure you check my <u><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Photography-by-Kate/176776755688237">Facebook</a></u> page for my latest work til my new site launches!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">See you on the flip side!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Katie</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5858593788/" title="IMG_7932 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3145/5858593788_27181864ca_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="IMG_7932" /></a></span></span></p></span>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10266881517471863738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-62630901382393083582011-06-02T18:17:00.000-07:002011-06-02T18:20:11.809-07:00Steffie and Mike - Engaged<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span ><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Steffie and Mike are an adorable couple I have been lucky enough to photograph on two different occasions now.

And none of us really adapt to change very well so we took it hard. Seeing Kacie again was so exciting and unreal. I was so relieved she was okay and thankful she was safe.

Immediately, I could tell she would be lots of fun to work with. We talked about photography for about ten minutes or so, then spent an hour chatting about weddings and random things. She's so easy to get along with and such a fun person to be around! Christina's fiance` Jason has just as enjoyable a personality. They have such good chemistry together and it's so easy to see the love they share. I'm sooo excited to share these photos. They made photography effortless!<div><br /></div><div>And don't let me forget to mention Luke, Christina's son!

They decided they wanted their engagement pictures there as well. Although the weather was crazy (pouring one minute and blindingly sunny the next) Lacy and Andy still managed to look adorable and get some great shots around the winery :)By spending time around the two of these guys...you can truly tell how much in love they are, and how excited they are to get married. I had such a great time doing their photos! I especially enjoyed the tasting we did before the shoot, while the weather was still bad.<br /><br />Lacy is an elementary school teacher, so we incorporated some apples into their session. Their dogs, Bella and Tank, also joined us for a few photos towards the end :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585702485/" title="Lacy_blog1 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5585702485_7b923891bd_b.jpg" width="900" height="602" alt="Lacy_blog1" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585702493/" title="Lacy_Blog2 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5063/5585702493_df5370b277_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Lacy_Blog2" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585702499/" title="Lacy_blog3 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5259/5585702499_5c9d8792ee_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Lacy_blog3" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585708877/" title="Lacy_blog4 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5176/5585708877_ac0a46631c_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Lacy_blog4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585702503/" title="Lacy_blog5 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5585702503_9e84688f9a_b.jpg" width="720" height="540" alt="Lacy_blog5" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585702519/" title="Lacy_blog6 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5025/5585702519_9d5f0bb8fb_b.jpg" width="900" height="598" alt="Lacy_blog6" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5586301892/" title="Lacy_blog7 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5266/5586301892_de91657794_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Lacy_blog7" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5586302606/" title="Lacy_blog8 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5586302606_637a7c714d_b.jpg" width="720" height="540" alt="Lacy_blog8" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585711051/" title="Lacy_blog9 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5585711051/" title="Lacy_blog9 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5106/5585711051_cf1a9aae64_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Lacy_blog9" /></a></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-70896880116703007052011-03-22T15:28:00.000-07:002011-03-22T15:43:14.946-07:00I have some pretty cool news to share!!<br /> <br />I’ve been working on it for a while now and am excited to announce<br /><br />DRUMROLL…<br /><br />I have a <a href="http://katienesbittphotography.com">website</a>!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5550970621/" title="website pic by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5550970621_65c3ae6f13_b.jpg" width="900" height="601" alt="website pic" /></a><br /><br />You’ll still find all of my latest work and random musings here, but the website is a great place to get a feel for my style and see my best work. I designed the site myself and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! I'm in love the simple gray background (my favorite color!!) and the fun font choices. Coincidentally, the bolder of the two fonts used is named Lucy, like my daughter *<span style="font-weight:bold;">ahem</span>* beloved ginger tabby cat. <br /> <br />Please check out the website and let me know what you think J Pretty soon I’ll be unveiling a couple more new things so stay tuned!Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-71104232469787862512011-03-07T06:19:00.000-08:002011-03-07T06:35:33.164-08:00Jerri + MarkThis past weekend, I met up with Jerri and Mark in Yorktown for a quick shoot. They were really fun to work with because besides being hilarious, they both had tons of great ideas on locations and shots. Totally made my life easy :) Jerri brought along some bubbles she wanted to incorporate into the shoot, and we played around with some moustaches on a stick I made for another shoot.

My new copy is a 1950's book club edition with the original dust jacket. I love how it smells! Reminds me of all the time spent in the library growing up.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5296755743/" title="blog book by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5296755743_8a6fd31d1c_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="blog book" /></a></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-83538636839077374572010-12-18T11:56:00.000-08:002010-12-18T12:38:55.985-08:00Christmas Themed Shoot - Mel's Family<div style="text-align: center;">I met my friend Mel and her brothers and sisters for a quick shoot at Peninsula Town Center. Even though the below freezing temperatures had us all shivering, they were patient and good natured as I got a few photos of them. These are some of my favorites :)</div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5271352775/" title="Melody_4 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5271352775_2e09d56dea_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Melody_4" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5271352613/" title="Melody_2 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5244/5271352613_de8af64545_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Melody_2" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5271484523/" title="melody_8 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5008/5271484523_949bfe300c_b.jpg" width="900" height="675" alt="melody_8" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5124/5271962824_6ba5a0a658_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Melody_5" /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5271352661/" title="Melody_3 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5083/5271352661_53135613eb_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Melody_3" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-36752110961574216582010-12-18T11:34:00.000-08:002010-12-18T11:36:06.149-08:00Teaser - Mel's Family<div style="text-align: center;">More to come :)</div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5271352873/" title="Melody_6 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5290/5271352873_19cc9c14e3_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Melody_6" /></a></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-11045421244968701552010-12-14T18:27:00.001-08:002010-12-14T18:31:56.421-08:00Suddenly WinterLately we've been experiencing some EXTREMELY cold temperatures. Typically our December temeratures are within the 50's, whereas the last couple of weeks, highs have been in the 30's almost every day. Yesterday was actually the first snow of the winter season! It lasted a couple of hours, but didn't stick around for very long afterwards.<div><br /></div><div>Still, it was beautiful while it lasted!</div><div><br /></div><div> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5262533618/" title="Snowday by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5123/5262533618_60f8cf5b8d_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Snowday" /></a></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344209007051331482.post-59324901972193592882010-12-12T17:37:00.000-08:002010-12-12T18:07:53.351-08:00A Couple Projects<div style="text-align: center;">It rained almost all weekend, so I tried to make the most of the time indoors by working on a few of the many projects on my to do list. So far I'm about halfway through, but it seems like for every one project I complete, a couple more get added to the list. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After ending up with quite a bit of leftover burlap from a bunch of runners I made for the wedding, I decided to make a couple of pillows for a bench we need to decorate in our reception space. I had a really hard time finding a no-sew pillow tutorial online! I found several tutorials for no-sew pillow <i>covers</i> but not for the pillows themselves. I eventually figured out my own way to do it, so here's my tutorial for anyone who's interested in saving money on a few throw pillows or even just making your own pillows in custom prints. (<i>PS I don't advocate or recommend ironing on your dining room table...I'm just too lazy to pull out my ironing board:p)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First, cut out your fabric and iron it out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5255770447/" title="Pillow1 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5041/5255770447_a4012219ac_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Pillow1" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then cut a piece of hem tape (I used <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?CATID=cat2864&PRODID=prd49052">Heat Bond</a>) and add it in between the two pieces of fabric. If you're using something like burlap, it doesn't matter what sides face out. If you're using a regular fabric, make sure the "right sides" (the sides where the pattern is) face the inside of the fabric sandwich. Follow the manufacturers instructions for ironing times and temperatures.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5255770493/" title="pillow2 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5129/5255770493_858ebbf9ca_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="pillow2" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Use the hem tape to seal the fabric together on all three sides. On the fourth side, leave a small gap (make it large enough you can stick your wrist and a fist full of stuffing through it). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5256381754/" title="pillow6 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5285/5256381754_61029c9e25_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="pillow6" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Turn the fabric inside out (so the "right side" is facing out if you're using a regular printed fabric), and stuff your pillow with whatever stuffing you want to use. I actually had a few old flat pillows I had meant to trash that I cut open and took out the stuffing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5256381708/" title="pillow5 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5005/5256381708_05674596d3_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="pillow5" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you're done stuffing your pillow, use a little bit of hem tape to "sew" the last open bit of the pillow shut. Let the glue cool down before you fluff your pillow. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5256381708/" title="pillow5 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5255770967/" title="pillow7 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5255770967_eebcd970da_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="pillow7" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lastly, here are a couple of my other projects:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5256381812/" title="Project1 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5046/5256381812_d1d4597d53_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Project1" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnandkatienesbitt/5255770425/" title="_MG_2078 by katiesphotoblog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5247/5255770425_ccaa4868b7_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="_MG_2078" /></a></div></div>Katie H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17053537431455217658noreply@blogger.com3
