Why You Need a Solo Portrait of Yourself II Artsy Portraits in Paris II English Speaking Photographer, Katie Donnelly Photography

**SHOP THIS LOOK**

Having professional headshots are so important for your career, but having beautiful portraits of yourself is important in your LIFE. Have you ever looked through your grandparents photos and stumbled upon a classic portrait of them and your heart just seemed to start jumping rope? Ya. Me too.

You are so so worthy of having beautiful portraits of YOU.

We started this session with a few more classic headshots that she could use for her new job.. and then finished it out with just beautiful portraits that speak of her, right now.

Beautiful, right?

Hey there, gorgeous!

Welcome to the home of Katie Donnelly Photography! I'm Katie, the owner and creative behind this Paris and NYC based engagement and family portrait photography brand. I laugh loudly, I can’t stop smiling, and I can eat a pound of pasta in a sitting. (Seriously, ask my husband) I love celebrating everyday moments (with champagne of course!) and documenting the weird, the funny, and the wonderful of the everyday through family portraiture. Most days I’m hanging out in Paris or NYC and making art for my KDP portrait clients, or planning the next time I cook for our friends and family. My specialty? Pasta with fresh homemade pesto sauce.

What do you think? Are you the KDP cup of coffee? (that's, cawfee to all you fellow NYers)

Oui oui, madame, I’m sure you are! The KDP family is loving, adventurous and travels the world. You take lots of photos, and road trip with your dog (He sticks his head out the window with his tongue flying in the wind doesn’t he?!). You love enjoying the simplicity life and being silly. You savor the little moments and the big ones. You’re pretty sure that your kids are growing up WAY too fast, but are also excited to see who they become. Your family is your life (they’re probably one of those big crazy families like mine) and you spend a lot of time together talking, laughing, BBQing, and just enjoying each others company.

If this sounds like you, I think we should be friends.. sorry, is it too soon? *ahem* I mean, why don’t you get in touch. Let’s make some amazing art of the people who are most important to you..

Doesn’t that beautiful family of yours deserve it?

"Hey Katie!! I got the album last Thursday and I haven't even gotten a chance to write to you because I've been too busy showing it to friends and family! Thank you so much :). Saying that I loved it is an understatement. You did and amazing job on it and you're an incredible photographer! You helped me keep the memory of my trip in a beautiful way.

👑 BABY IS COMING 👑 (😂 see what I did there!? #GOT) I always thought baby girl would be born right after Easter - right around her due date. However now I’m officially 39 weeks and don’t think I’m going to make it that far! ⭐️Upside⭐️ we get to meet her sooner!! What where your last days of pregnancy like? ((Thank you @katiemitchellphotography for our beautiful maternity session!))

This is what cherry blossom dreams look like 😍 This morning @pyknyc and I had our maternity session with @katiemitchellphotography amongst these amazing blossoms and it was so much fun!! I was so worried that baby girl would come before our session but she’s happily still cooking and I’m officially in “looks like she strapped on a fake huge prego belly” mode. 😂 I feel like my giddiest client right now because I’m so so excited to see our portraits and put them on our walls 😍 ummm guys is this what this feels like!? Haha now I know how hard it is for our clients to wait!! Thank you so much for making our session experience out of this world @katiemitchellphotography. We are so excited ❤️

The other day right after @katiemitchellphotography took this beautiful portrait of me and my sweet girl, she asked how I’d resume my pregnancy. It’s funny because it’s truly two CLEARLY different parts of it. The first part where I was constantly sick, exhausted, in denial that we’d ever be so lucky to meet this baby, depressed, and still very much in mourning after my miscarriage in June. And the second part where it was like coming up for a breath of fresh air, I could breath again, I could project for longer than our next doctors appointment, I could feel her move 👏 all 👏 the 👏 time 👏, I could visualize our life with her... finally, and accept that one of the darkest times in my life could be followed by the absolute brightest time, and finally, FINALLY, I was happy. I AM happy. Joyful. And absolutely loving being pregnant and given the gift of keeping our sweet girl safe and healthy inside me. I have only 5 or 6 weeks left of her and me time 24/7 before she’s on the outside and I’ll have to let other people hold her and love her and help keep her safe. But right now I’m cherishing every single second of us. Every one. This is #35weeks. 🤰🏻🌈 #rainbowbaby #pregnancyaftermiscarriage #photographerinparis #motherhood

❤️“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other” -Audrey Hepburn ❤️ If you had portraits in Paris done, who would you have them with? Me? I seriously can’t wait to have our first family portraits done once our little girl is born!! But my DREAM portrait would probably be my nephew and daughter playing together here in Paris.

💫💫APARTMENT UPDATE💫💫 So I put some holes in the walls of our new place 😀 I made the mistake of hesitating to put art up in our last apartment at first because we were “only going to be there for a year or two and it’s a rental” and then 5 years later... we were still there. Ah, Life. Thankfully one day I thought “I don’t care if I’m here for 4 more weeks, I can’t live without these portraits and travel photos” and hung them. NEWSFLASH: I didn’t hesitate this time. My Beatles photographs are up in the living room, our travel photos are decorating our bathroom and around our entry, and most importantly, this beautiful portrait is right outside our bedroom so every day I get to wake up and see it as I start my day, and then again right before bed. It’s becoming my favorite part of the house and it’s just a hallway 😂 Also, whoever says that 30in portraits are “so big” has never actually seen one on the wall. Next portrait we hang is going to be a 50in... at least. (Sidenote: Gold star to whoever can spot the portraits of my grandma and great grandpa in the background. Also, that little red Clifford dog is our cat’s “baby“. She carries it around with her in her mouth and it’s such a part of our everyday it didn’t feel right to leave it out to make the “perfect” photo. 🐕 ) #parisianapartment #cheznous #makeart #wallinspiration #apartmenttour #interiordesign

It is nothing short of an honor growing this little woman in my belly. I truly didn’t know how strong I could be until I started creating another women. Thank you for pushing me to grow and stretch in every way imaginable. You may not be “born” yet, but you have started changing lives by the mere THOUGHT of you. ❤️ So here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. And MAY WE RAISE THEM 💪💪 #thefutureisfemale #internationalwomensday #33weeks

The perks of making portraits in cafes. ❤️ This morning @everydayparisian and I made some magic for her blog and in TRUE Rebecca form, she knew the waiters at the café. And got hit on by another patron of the @lecafedeflore 😂 After 6 years of living here this was my FIRST time in Cafe de Flore, if you can believe it! One of the most iconic places and I hadn’t even been even though I must have walked by at least 500 times! Good thing I have friends who show me all around to the “classic” places while I can then show them around to my favorite hole in the wall places 😀

CHEERS because it’s Friday!!! What are you cheering with today? For me it’s gallons of water 😂 #pregolife Thanks @everydayparisian for this video ❤️
