For this installment on 10 on 10, I waited for a day when we were either doing something somewhat fun, or the forecast called for sunshine. This day was just a little of both.
I registered Brock for kindergarten, and it was partly sunny. Something to cheer about.
Now run off and check out Abbie McFarland | Lifestyle Film Photographer | Fort Worth, TX!
Meet Delia. She’s my assistant for my handbags and helps me out tremendously. Her boyfriend of several years just left for the Philippians where he’ll be living for the next two years. He really just left- the morning after the session. We were lucky to squeeze this in at all, and the weather, well, I guess it just reflected the mood. It was supposed to be sunny and turned gray, misty and so cold, yet so beautiful. I love the quiet and stillness of it all.
It was an honor to photograph them before this huge change, and I wish them all the best.
Gah!!! completely fabulous Ketti! I absolutely LOVE the feel to this session, it really is lovely! Her hair is fabulous!
Wonderful captures! Such a gorgeous couple, and they are so cute together! Great job!
These photos are beautiful. It’s hard to be left behind, just as hard I think as it is to leave for two years. I wish them the best of luck, and peace! My sister-in-law is more than halfway done with her boyfriend gone for two years, and she says it’s been flying by! It can be done!
Gorgeous session Ketti! It’s just how I remember it, makes me miss Whidbey.
oh ketti … once again an earthy, organic and soulful session. will you photograph us one day??
love the pictures. So pretty and makes me miss the pacific northwest. :) I just love the peaceful quality you brought to it.
Loving these shots! You captured their emotions beautifully! You can see that she misses him already….
Ketti, man these are just perfect! I have looked at these a handful of times, they are just so real, so fun, so adorable. I bet you made there hearts skip a beat.
I love these shots! They are so full of emotion. You couldn’t have captured the moment any better.
I love the tone of these images. What actions are you using, if you don’t mind me asking. I love them! I’m just in love with photography and I am always wanting to learn more.
These are beautiful. Like Danielle, I would really love to know what you used!
What a neat project! I love looking through the images and different perspectives. I am curious – how did or do you come up with weekly themes? By the way, I also loved your “the kids were here ” project. It has inspired me to do my own version – I have 4 days left!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this family a few times now, but this time around there have been some big changes. Carrie really wanted these photographs to show her children that though things have changed, they are still a family and are still very much loved. She also wanted to show her strength in recovering from a divorce, and I think those are the most powerful images of the bunch. It was funny, because as I photographed her alone, she was just telling me her story – the challenges, the joys, and so much power and beauty shone through. It was really amazing to watch it unfold. There are so many women going through the same struggles, figuring out how to rebuild or maintain a stable family while doing it alone, in two different households. I really hope others can take some strength of their own from these photographs.
Awww, what a beautiful family! I love the wonderful connections you got, Ketti, I’m sure they will cherish them!
These are great Ketti.. They look like they are having a lot of fun. I just love your style!!! Well done.
an absolutely beautiful evening with an incredible woman and her family … gorgeous ketti, as always
Beautiful images, Ketti! I just adore that shot of her laughing in the grass.
BEAUTIFUL session, Ketti! Mom is gorgeous, and I LOVE the one of her laughing!
comment #11 by Jessie, who’s inspiring quote was actually one of my favorites:
I love this mom quote “The most important thing she’d learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill because it inspires me everyday.
Congrats Jessie, you’ll be receiving your set of Kellie Hatcher B&W Film presets by email shortly.
Thank you to everyone who entered, I loved reading all that inspires you!

Awwww- the big leap into Kindergarten! These are so sweet!
Kindergarten Registration day! Thats a big deal! Sweet little guy! I love each one of these, adore the one of him walking with his coat out and way ahead of you.
Such a big day! I just registered my girls for Kindergarten, too! I adore your storytelling and your vision.
Kindergarten! How exciting is that? Your boys are cute, cute, cute! I love the chubby little cheeks : )
He’s such a big boy now! I’m getting emotional that all our Nutty babies will start K in the fall.
I am not looking forward to that day… He looks so grown up! Surely my children will never be that big… right? ; )
Fantastic images, Ketti. Loving the laundry shot. So beautiful, so familiar.
Ketti your boys are freaking adorable, after you post I really feel like I know their personalities. nice work!
Big day!
I love that you can make laundry look beautiful.

Little guy moving that big roll is so cool. Love all the lines. And the parallel with registering with kindergarten. A day to remember!
