Cape Cod Photography - Kate Murphy Lowenstein Photography
 

Welcome to my blog! I am a family portrait and wedding photographer based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My style is casual and classy; modern and classic; creative and fun! My passion is capturing natural and genuine expressions of the people I photograph using natural light and creating "real life images".

My enthusiasm for photography began nine years ago when I borrowed my friend's SLR (film) camera for my honeymoon. It was then I discovered I had a talent for photography. I took classes and seminars, read books and immersed myself in photography and dreamed that someday I would be a photographer.

Forward nine years and I am a wife, mother of three, and a photographer. I wear flip flops or Uggs and jeans almost every day. I love to dress up on special occasions. I love the beach. I love meeting new people and spending time getting to know them. I love to capture who a person is, their genuine smiles, their interaction with the people they love. I think a person's eyes tell a lot about who they are, and I love getting so close to their eyes that I cut off their head in the photograph.

Rather than rambling on about myself, below is a glimpse into both my personal and professional life featuring images from my photo shoots as well as my family and friends. All in all, I hope my blog gives you a sense of who I am and what I'm all about...

Check back frequently for what's happening and studio specials.

Thanks for visiting!

Erin + Brenton: Engagement session

I maybe feeling a little guilty for not posting any sessions. So, when I was editing this one, I picked quite a few for the blog. The first time I met Erin in my studio, she seemed really shy. I didn't know what to expect in front of the camera, but it was a great surprise that she really wasn't shy at all! I met Brenton for the first time in the parking lot the evening of our session. He seemed a little shy too. Thankfully, neither of them shied away from the camera and I had a lot of fun photographing them.

Here are some of my faves from their session.








Love, love this one.




Oh and this one too - I wonder if it's a coincidence I put them both in B&W? I LOVE B&W!



I love these shots too - it's like I'm not even there.















How cute is this?! Just as we were walking by this circle of rocks, I noticed it almost looked as if it was in the shape of a heart. With a little readjusting, it was! To be honest, I wasn't sure how this would come out at the time, but
I'm thrilled with the results! I also have a few ideas for next time...



We were actually pretty much done with our time together, but the light was just dreamy and I couldn't resist some more shots.



This is my absolute favorite from the session (well worth the thorn bushes I jumped into)!



Thanks, Erin & Brenton for a great engagement session. I'll look forward to seeing you next year for your June wedding!

HOLIDAY DEADLINE

Where did the summer go?! Did we even have one? It's hard to believe it came and went and now it's time to think about the holidays!

MY DEADLINE FOR ORDERING FOR THE HOLIDAYS IS NOVEMBER 15TH. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I CANNOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY BEFORE DECEMBER 25TH IF YOUR ORDER IS PLACED AFTER NOVEMBER 15TH. This includes prints and holiday cards.

I regret that albums and book orders that have not already been placed will not be fulfilled before the holidays.

My 2009 holiday card designs will be released next week. I will send an email to my clients with the new designs and ordering information.

If you have any questions, please give me a call!

SORRY!

I know it has been FOREVER since I've posted! I am so swamped with editing and posting and meeting with clients and taking pictures and doing business stuff (argh!)...oh and there's the house, the family, the laundry, etc. etc...I haven't had time! My sincere apologies to all those clients that didn't get a post after their session/wedding. I will try to catch up with that this winter when things slow down a bit. In the meantime, sign up as my Facebook friend where where you can see a few I've posted there for my clients.
