    About the Artist:
    My style is relaxed. For children, I want you to look at a picture from one of our sessions and remember all the stages of their uniqueness, even when they are too big for you to choose their outfits, comb the "rat's nests" out of their hair (complete with princess rats, mommy rats, and daddy rats, according to my daughters), or let you chauffeur them around town because, amazingly, they can drive themselves. For new mothers and couples getting married, I want you to remember that expectant happiness, that knowledge that you're entering a new stage of your life, and you can't wait.

    I look forward to meeting you and capturing memories with you.

    -Katherine Espano

C family | Jacksonville children photographer

I photographed little R for his newborn pictures, and it was fun to see how much he’s grown now for his 1-year portraits. We went to a park on the outskirts of Jacksonville and St. Augustine, and the forecast had promised only a 10% chance of rain. As I drove through rain to the park, I was worried, but fortunately, it cleared up to just a few sprinkles by the time we all arrived. I actually love cloudy weather for portraits; it gives such a soft light. The C family is so relaxed and happy together, and little R gave us so many great smiles. His sister, Carly, is such a good big sister (and a beautiful girl!). C family, it was a pleasure working with you all again!

I love his serious expression here, and those sweet curls.

And, of course, I love some child joy…

Big sister, C. She has such a perfect, serene expression here.

A beautiful family.

N at park |



St. Augustine child photographer

I’ve fallen behind on my blog, which is easy to do at this time of year! I met N last month, and he is such a sweet and handsome little boy. He’s full of energy and joy, and wow, he can give a beautiful moody picture, too. The black and white picture here is one of my favorites. S family, it was a pleasure working with you!

Beach tea party |

I took my girls out to the beach for a photo session and thought I’d share a few of my favorites. At first, my girls were fighting over their tea party (being an only child myself, it’s always amazing to me how they can go from fighting with each other one minute to being so sweet and affectionate with each other the next!), but then they started enjoying themselves, especially when we put their chairs in the water. Shortly after the ocean picture, they started playing in the water and got completely soaked, so they were even happier!



Little I

Little I is turning one and is as cute as can be. We met at the park, ready with umbrellas in case it would rain, and although the clouds were dark and we got a few sprinkles, we were spared any real rain. With all the cloud cover, it was such a pleasant temperature for a summer day in Jacksonville. Little I was a gem to photograph, and I must say her mother is talented with a sewing needle. She made the adorable outfit that I is wearing in the tree stump and cake pictures. Babies usually take eating cake VERY seriously (and we all know cake is a serious business!), and so did little I initially. But we soon got her to laugh and show off her cake face. She’s quite a happy little girl. K family, enjoy your sneak peek!
