K. Lane Photography {the blog} bio picture

Hello and welcome!

Thanks for stopping by the K. Lane Photography blog! I am located in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX area.  I love what I do and hope you will too. Although I'm not daily blogger, my goal here is to keep you informed and entertained with sneak peeks from sessions and a few glimpses of my own personal life occasionally. Feel free to send me a contact form from here or stop by my website to take a look around!

The Big News

I’m so excited to be writing this post, I don’t even know where to begin! So I’ll just say it:

I am joining the F8 team and will now be the child photographer behind F8 Kids!! My Christmas present came a little early when I was asked to be a part of F8 Studio. To work alongside these amazing wedding photographers is literally a dream come true. I hope that you’ll come along with me and continue to be the wonderful clients that you have been over the last five years.

I can now be reached at:

And you can see all of my work from this point on at:

The Dress

In October, I shared that I was chosen as one of the photographers for a Matilda Jane contest. The deadline was today so I thought I would post my image that I chose to submit! The contest was for all of us to put our own “spin” on the dress. Keep in mind that I was working with a 17 month old, which translates into: not very cooperative. So after my first attempt didn’t go as planned, I opted for plan B. With the help of my sister-in-law and nieces, my “vision” came to life! I feel like I’m taking a risk by not actually having her in the dress…but I was trying to be original. :-)

One of the many reasons

I love what I do…

I’m blessed to be able to meet so many great families and capture sweet little moments like these. It was awesome just watching how in love these parents were with their little guy. He was such a fun, happy toddler and to top it off, his mommy was extremely photogenic!

Definitely a new favorite of mine:

Over seven years ago…

I was searching to find the perfect wedding photographer for my wedding. I met with two, who just didn’t seem right for me. And then a friend told me I must go see Gary Donihoo (thanks Norma!!!). So I went to meet him and fell in love with his work immediately. He ended up photographing our engagement, my bridals, our wedding and my three births since then! I’m just in awe of his work every time.

And now here I am photographing his kids–for the second time–many years later. It’s surreal to me.  Gary was not only an amazing photographer, but has been a great friend and awesome mentor. And his wife and kids are just as wonderful. Thank you, Gary and Rachel, for everything.
