Anonymous asked: Just checked out Batesfilm and love the photos! That is the style I'm looking for, I love the tones and focus. I'm thinking a vintage style photoshoot capturing my fiance and I getting married along with having fun out in Seattle (ferris wheel, aquarium, pike pl. market kind of thing). It'll just be he and I and two witnesses for the wedding part, then just he and I for the pictures after. I don't have a fb or tumblr so how do you recommend I get ahold of you to further discuss? Thank you!

That sounds amazing! I love small intimate weddings like that! You can email me at kaeleebates@gmail.com

Anonymous asked: do you and your husband still offer photography sessions? If so, do you have a website?

We do! It hasn’t been updated in a while because I am lazy but it is Batesfilm.com. We also have a Facebook page under that title that has more photos I think! We haven’t done it for a bit because we have been super busy, but we aren’t opposed to it either! What kind of photos are you looking for exactly?

Thunder and lightning means rain boots and frightened kitties.

Yay photo adventures.

Anonymous asked: Are you still moving to Denver?

Narp! It didn’t work out within Jeffrey’s company so we are staying here!

Honestly I am super happy and relieved about it. Denver would have been amazing and a great adventure (thechillspirit and I would have hung out all the time) but I love my family a lot and it would be really hard for me to live far away from them.

I just woke up and looked in the mirror and I definitely look like The Joker right now.

Should have remembered to take all that makeup off :/ oops.

Anonymous asked: I'm thinking about moving to seattle, pretty much on my own, when I graduate college in a few years. Any advice? I'm a little worried about how expensive rent is, and also the traffic/whether I should get a car or not.

Seattle is a great city and I love living here! In most neighborhoods you can have a car and find a place to park it fairly easily if you have those parallel parking skills. Rent isn’t terrible here, but it isn’t cheap either. You may want to consider roommates if you won’t be making a ton of money. We tend to have some pretty bad rush hour traffic at times, and when it snows the city tends to shut down because we are not used to that shit haha.

Seriously though it’s a wonderful progressive city and I have only thought about moving once and I couldn’t bring myself to do it because I love it here so much. I definitely recommend moving here :)

I already put a photo of my face for tonight on here, but Jeffrey took a better one and I like it more and it’s still my birthday week so I get to be vain if I want to okay?!

Thank you all for putting up with my nonsense.
