Dance in the Studio | Winter Ballerina, High School Senior Session It’s not often that I get to photograph my high school seniors in the snow, so I always love the opportunity to try something new and see what happens. This month I had the pleasure of photographing Rebecca, a high school senior who attends an out-of-town performing arts school, where she focuses on her dance studies. It was such a treat to have her come and play (with ballet!) and to share her talents and her love for what she does. It’s so inspiring to see so much focus, talent and passion in these kids. See for yourself, in her highlight reel below....

Tween Sessions & The “Who I Am” Project In my studio, I see many sweet little ones, many high school seniors, many entrepreneurs – all coming in for portraits to tell the story of these important times of life. Celebrate achievements, get those “have to” images, and capture times we typically think of capturing. What I’m finding, in my years as a pro photographer, is there’s this big age range that gets overlooked – that Tween age that starts around 9 until hitting the official 1-3…and teenagerhood. This time of life is also a huge transition, as I’m sure we can all remember. It can be confusing, and self-confidence and self-image can get shaky. For me, personally, this was a time of braces, permed hair, shoulder pads (ugh) and huge pink glasses that allowed me to see the chalkboard. I felt like the opposite of beautiful. I was lacking in confidence and in self-belief. Looking back at those images of me now, I see so much there – so much beauty, so much ability. I wish I could go back and give Tween Me a hug and show her how great she really was and let her know that everything was going to be a-okay and to not worry so much. With this project and with these sessions, I’m making it my personal mission to capture those lost preteen years. The goal is to help tweens look and feel beautiful and have unshakable confidence in themselves when they hit junior high or middle school. In comes the “Who I am” project and Tween sessions….Click here to read more on...
Introducing Muse Mini Sessions Your feedback to the Muse Sessions (www.muse-sessions.com) has been amazing and heart-warming. It means so much to me that this concept connects to so many of you – the idea of taking our time together to a higher level and capturing images that tell a story and let YOU tell your story. I love it. Our recent gallery show had a great turn out – I loved seeing each and every one of you there and appreciate that you came out for our Muses. ♥ I believe this is so important and such a soul-strengthening experience, I want to make Muse Sessions accessible to more people – everyone who loves this should be able to experience it. I’ve created a couple of options to make it easier to say ‘Heck ya, Katy-lady – sign me up!’ 1. Payment Plans. Break up payments to work with your budget. Whether that means 2 – or more – payments, we will accommodate. 2. Mini Muse Sessions! These are slightly shorter Muse sessions and – while you’ll still get amazing attention and images – the goodies are trimmed down and your gallery show will be with more ladies. But perhaps these are perks for you? ————- Mini Muse Sessions $695 45 minute session Outfit changes Pre-session planning pow-wow at the studio 2 – 11 x 14 canvas wall prints 25 – Muse cards (5×7 2-sided luxe prints) Your images included in the Muse gallery show in Fall Add salon hair and makeup for $50 ————- These Mini Muse Sessions will run on a trial-basis through Summer and their availability will be limited to no...
She’s just a few months from graduation! I’ve so enjoyed working with her – Derrien is one cool chickita. Her smile lights up the room, but she keeps things real with her tres’ cool Derrien-isms. Even when going through tough times, her attitude is positive and inspiring. And now – her highlight reel from this past year:...

Introducing the lovely Miss Leah Baird as Katy Moses Photography’s Class of 2014 Senior Class Model Rep! Leah is in her last year at D’Evelyn High School. She’ll be heading to post-grad studies in Iowa. ...
I’m totally thrilled to introduce my Evergreen High School senior model for the class of 2014. Derrien Riggio, currently a junior at EHS, loves to hike and play competitive volleyball and hang out with friends. Her favorite subjects to study are anatomy and biology, which will serve her well since she’d like to be a nurse (an ER nurse!). She’d like to use her nursing skills to travel the world doing medical relief work. How awesome is that? She loves her Evergreen town and high school community and the small-town feel – you know everybody you meet. Derrien has already travelled to many places in and out of the country. She’s been to Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, and to her favorite – Costa Rica. After she graduates from EHS, she hopes to study locally at either Regis University or University of Colorado at Denver. At her 10-year high school reunion, she’s planning to be living back in Evergreen, working as an ER nurse, with a family and still traveling the world. Love it! (Here is MY favorite image from our winter shoot… It was COLD – Derrien is a total trooper. A true model. ) And here are a few more favorites from our shoot. I’d like to give a special thanks to Dare Boutique in Evergreen. They styled outfits for us and gave us a wonderful experience at their shop. Their service and expertise are fantastic. They give solid advice and have a good eye for what looks good on different body types and age-appropriate trends. Be sure to like them on...
Happy New 2013! I hope everybody is off to a good start and adding some positive new resolutions to better your days. One of my resolutions is to be better about more frequent blogging. It’s fun to share images from shoots, news on upcoming special events, interesting outfit and styling ideas and the like. One of my big plans is to start posting interviews with some of the incredible folks I have the opportunity to photograph so you can get to know them as more than just a pretty face. People are doing amazing things with their lives and have good stories to tell. Look for those coming soon! For now, I’d like to share some images from a recent shoot with a friend’s daughter. She spent most of the shoot in her “cat” persona, so if you listen closely, you might hear some purring. 🙂 Meet Miss Maive! Hair and styling: Karinna Wurth ...
