Emailed me lately??

If you have emailed me lately and I have not responded, it is because I, for some reason, did not get it! It was brought to my attention today that it was not working. If you emailed me directly at kaseyhoggatt@sbcglobal.net, I have gotten it. If you used the contact button at the top that takes you to the contact page on my website, or emailed me directly from my website, I have not gotten it. Something is up with my website (not this blog!). I have changed the contact info at the top now, to email me directly and not go through my website. I am so sorry!!
If in doubt, you can always call me at 251-8546.

Finally cooling off enough to get outside again!

Such a cutie! I am beginning to think that every kid I have photographed this year has beautiful blue eyes! This guy is no exception.

Family Mini Sessions!

Here are the details on the family mini sessions and the times I still have available. Email me if you have any questions or would like to book a slot!

Cute collage

I was just sending this 16x20 collage off to the lab for a client and thought I would share it here. I just loved this girls sweet expressions!

Upcoming Events.....

I have been getting this question alot lately:
Am I going to do the Grace Academy Preschool portrait this fall? The answer is YES! At first, I wasn't sure. I will be honest, it was tough being in the preschool room without "Miss Michaelle". But, I have absolutely LOVED doing these portaits for the past (4?) years. It is one of my favorite things to do.
SO, we have scheduled them for September 22nd and 23rd. All 4 classes will be done on these days and at about 21 kids per class, it will be fun! I will post a sample of the backdrop I will be using soon (actually, I will be using my brown canvas, which is shown in the post right below this!). More information will be sent home with your child from preschool.

The next thing is the the Family Mini Sessions. I have a date for them on Saturday, October 18th. I have had quite a few emails about this. I will book these on a first come basis. Space is limited. I will post the info about these in the next week in a seperate post. If you want it now, you may email me and I will email you the details. If you already emailed me, you should get an email from me today.

Deadline for Christmas sessions will be November 14th if you want the portraits back in time for Christmas.

That's all for now! Enjoy this cooler weather we are having!

*Sweet Girls*

What more can I say! These 3 were just the sweetest!

~Christmas~

Want to be different this Christmas? Then don't send just any old card to your friends and relatives!!
I've been working on my NEW 2008 Christmas cards this week! Here is just a sampling of a few of them. There is something for everyone--from unique or classic to downright grungy!

I will be offering family mini sessions, probably in late September or early October. I will post more real soon. They will be done on a Saturday. Slots will be limited, so if you want to get on the list now, you can email me.

Go Ravens!

Here are a couple from a family shoot last week.

Miss Abbey~4 years old

I have been photographing this cutie since she was one. She has always had the most beautiful hair!




Here she was at her first shoot with me at one. See, I wasn't kidding about her beautiful hair!

Today's sneak peak!

Here are a couple from today's shoot. Very sweet kids!! The baby is 9 months old and just full of smiles!

Cousins

These boys came yesterday for a shoot. They were all so great! The oldest and his brother (the blonde haired little one) are from Brooklyn, NY visiting. I am so glad they came for portraits! All three have the most beautiful blue eyes (and yes, the oldest boy has blue in his hair--isn't it cool!).




Ok, I normally don't post larger files on my blog, but you have GOT to click on this photo and check out his eyes! Aren't they the most beautiful shade of blue!

~One~

Here is a little cutie who just turned one.




Just messing with a vintage look here!

In Houston

I am so sorry I forgot to post that I will be in Houston until Wednesday evening. Therefore, I will not be answering emails or returning phone calls until then.
THANKS!

Isn't she SWEET!

A boy's will..

is the wind's will. I just love the curiosity of little boys! Here is one from a session yesterday with these 3 brothers, ages 2, 3 and 4. I think Mom will be happy to know I actually got some with all 3 of them in it haha!

Here are a couple of the youngest, who just turned two.

5 days old...

Burning the midnight oil here, playing catch up! Here are just a couple from this session. I need to finish it up and a couple of other sessions, so not much time to spend posting too many photos, sorry! This was from a session with this CUTE little 5 day old and his proud big sis!

Thank you again...

I want to thank you all for your patience during this difficult time in our lives. I am back to work now. Those of you who had galleries up that were due to expire this week, they have been extended until this weekend. If you have questions, I will be answering my email now (after I go through a weeks worth of emails lol!) Orders placed during this past week will be sent in the next day or two.

SWIM TEAM PHOTOS------
The Country Club Swim Team photos will be this Sunday. You should have received an order form at practice this week. If you are needing one, let me know. I will also have extras when we do the photos. I will be out at the Country Club all day that day, so if you would like to have your individual portrait taken before the group, I will start with those around 4:00. We will do the group at 5:00. We will do individuals after the group also, so if you can't make it before, don't worry! There will be 65 swimmers there, so just be patient haha! If you can't make it on that day and would like an individual portrait taken, get with me at practice or a meet and we will set up a time after practice one day for make ups. You may also email me (link on the right).

THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you...

Thank you to those of you who have emailed me your condolences on the loss of Michaelle. It has been so very hard on us. It makes me realize just how important photos are. Not just the formal photos, but ANY photos. Snapshots. Looking back, I hardly had any of her with her grandkids. I didn't even realize it. She was such a great Grandma and LOVED her grandkids so much. Those of you who have been blessed to have her as a preschool teacher know how much she loved kids!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SHELLY!!!

Grandchildren....

These Grandchildren put a twinkle in their Grandma's eye and a smile on her face! They are visiting Grandma from out of state and Grandma scheduled this session for them (she was in some, but I haven't went through them yet). I just love watching Grandmas with their Grandkids!





This last photo is one of my favorites from the session. These kids were really fun to work with and SO beautiful to photograph!

I have several more sessions to proof and more this week, so I will be posting from those sessions as soon as I can----I haven't forgot you!
Cheers!
