Asheville, NC Newborn Photography – Sweet Baby Cole

So happy I finally had the chance to meet and photograph baby Cole.  He had a bit of a rough start and a short stay in the NICU, but, he is now home and in perfect health! And gosh darn if he isn’t the cutest little guy! :)   I can’t get over his chubby cheeks (which he apparently gets from daddy) and easy-going personality (which I’m sure he gets from his mommy)  … I just love holding all these beautiful newborns.  Many more newborn sessions to come…so stay posted. Enjoy.

Thought I would share this setup shot below…. straight out of camera / no editing

and the RESULT of our setup :)

of course… we had to get in the 1st baby of the family.


Katy Cook Workshop – March 19th, 2011

Well, it’s that time again.  I have loved this time off and I feel rejuvenated. My slow season is Jan-Feb… and it’s awesome! A chance to wind down from the Christmas madness and really just enjoy my family. It’s kind of like a Photographer’s summer break, only it’s cold and involves lots of hot coccoa and snuggles on the couch with my boys. :)   It feels great to get up and go again and let me tell you… 2011 is looking like an awesome year!

So here it is…. kicking off the year with another workshop. After several e-mails/requests I’ve decided to hold another Atlanta date on March 19th.  This one day workshop will be held at one of my client’s  homes.  I usually like to keep this to 10 people — The cost is: $300.

If you are interested, please e-mail me at: katy@katycookphotography.com  Also, I just had to share this below…. My image of Bennett won 1st in the babies category for the National Association of Professional Child Photographers… pretty cool! Here’s to a great year!


Happy New Year – Best Image

2010… what a year!  I photographed weddings in Ireland and Jamaica – I opened a new studio – Moved in to a new house – Started offering workshops – and so much more! I have been truly blessed.

I’m really excited about 2011 and all the possibilities both personally and professionally. :)

After a poll on Facebook, I am happy to post my “Image of the Year”…. I adore it.  My sweet nephew, Bennett.  His daddy is quite the surfer and this shot was a must have….totally worth getting to the beach at 6:30 AM


Winston-Salem Baby Photographer – LOVE THIS BABY!

I love this little one and her adorable brother! Caroline is your basic photographer’s dream baby and how lucky for her mother…. who is a photographer. ;)   I had such a blast in the studio with these two…. quite the workout, but, loved every minute.  Caroline’s mommy recently took my one-on-one mentoring course and she ended up shooting at this session too! That is where the out-take shot comes in below…. Enjoy!

here is a shot that Emily took and the result is above….


Asheville Children’s Photographer – more mini-sessions… :)

Just playing catch up on my blogging! I’ve been posting a lot of sneak peeks on facebook and have neglected this poor blog, yet again. :) Luckily, I have so much to write in the near future, so stay tuned. The mini-sessions for my new studio are now over and what a huge success! Thanks to everyone that participated. Here are a few more from the past two weeks. Enjoy!


Photography Workshop – Atlanta, Ga

I’m just now blogging about this? The days are flying by this holiday season!

The Atlanta workshop was so much fun! I had a great time getting to know those who attended. Our models were amazing! I had a hard time instructing, because, I wanted to photograph these little beauties! lol. That said, I did manage a few images below… and, check out the out-take images… too funny!

I’m still working the details out for the next workshop… sometime in the spring. :)

whoa! i’m flexible. :)


Asheville, NC Children’s Photographer – Simon is 3

Well, I should say he is 3 and a 1/2! That’s what he made a point of telling me when he came in to the studio two days ago. Sweet kiddo and a personality that just doesn’t stop!

It is always to fun to see my client’s grow… I’ve known and photographed Simon since newborn and technically…before, with Samantha’s maternity photos. :) Now he’s talking and jumping… and jumping.

I wanted to share a few before I head to Atlanta for my Woodstock Workshop. Looking forward to meeting some great girls and seeing my sister. Have a great weekend!!!


Raleigh, NC Baby Photographer – Little Isabelle

What a cutie! I managed to fit in a baby session while I was in Raleigh, NC on Sunday with the adorable Isabelle. She is the first grandchild and everyone in the family can’t get enough of her… and I can’t blame them! When she smiles, her eyes literally light up and sparkle. Thanks to Lauren and the entourage of Grandmother’s… it was great meeting you! Check out this sweetie below….

getting dressed for the “model shoot” ;)

Last shot of the day below…. look at that face and check out that pose.


Natural Light Studio – Promo sessions part 1

The month of November is flying by so quickly! My mini-sessions in studio have been a hit and so much fun! Of course, this time of year is full of sessions and editing…. I know I will catch up, it’s just a matter of when? :) I wanted to share some images from the past week before heading to Raleigh for another TRES Boudoir tour.  Have a great weekend!


Asheville Children’s photographer – The Pulliam Family

I had a great time photographing the Pulliam family.  Talk about incredible genes! Such gorgeous kids and sweet personalities to match…. combine that with a beautiful, fall day = PERFECTION. I’ve been meaning to blog this for awhile, but the holiday rush is in full swing. Many more posts coming soon! :) Enjoy.

love this…
