~Sneak Peak!~

Sneak peak from a session on Tuesday!

Collages

Just a couple of collages I have sent off or worked on this week!

Preview--Family Mini Sessions!

Just a few of the photos from yesterday! What fun it was again--Thanks! When proofs are ready, I will send you an email. When you have the link, you will also receive your coupon for 10% off all prints ordered!











This little one did not feel too well and went home running a bit of of fever. They are coming back when he is better for some photos. Poor little thing!

~Sneak Peak!~

I just love photographing this family! I have been photographing them since the littlest one was about 3 months old.



















Ok, I took this photo, then realized the boys were in background playing, so I had them move and took a few more photos. I get home and realized I LOVE THE ONE WITH THEM IN THE BACKGOUND LOL! Typical boys haha!



I *LOVED* walking through the house and seeing my photos *everywhere*! Every wall, every shelf! I just love seeing how others enjoy their photographs. She has several large photos in the bedroom that look great. She even has them on the wall in the kitchen that looks awesome! Here is just one photo of a shelf in the living room. (Thanks for letting me share this!)

Family Mini Session reminder!

Just a reminder that family mini sessions are this Saturday! I will email each of you by tomorrow. They will be done on a brown canvas backdrop with a brown leather sofa. These will be casual photos. The colors that would look really great would be browns, burgundys, black. But, any fall type colors would work. I would stay away from light colors or pastels--baby blue, yellows, etc.
Email me if you have any questions, or just give me a call!

THESE MINI SESSIONS ARE BOOKED--THERE ARE NO MORE SLOTS OPEN FOR THIS.

If you would like to schedule a session for your family for Christmas photos, just call and I will get you on the schedule. Deadline for Christmas sessions will be November 14th if you want the portraits back in time for Christmas.
Happy Fall!

Clothing Choices

Need help with clothing choices for your upcoming shoot? Here are a few suggestions!
The right choice in clothes can really make a session GREAT! It can make the difference from a shot being "good" to "great". Many online stores now have outfit suggestions or shop by outfuts, which are a wonderful place to start. Old Navy and Gap are doing this now too. My new favorite for kids is Crewcuts by JCrew.

Some other great places for inspiration (or purchase!) are:

Boden USA and MiniBoden
http://www.bodenusa.com/

For girls, Matilda Jane
http://www.matildajanegirls.com/

I will add these links to the right under "Great Childrens Clothing" so you can view them whenever you need to.

When thinking of clothing, keep in mind---layers, textures, sweaters, scarfs, jackets, vests, etc work wonderfully. You can bring all the clothes you want to the shoot and I will help you go through them. Different styles gives me different ideas and inspiration to work with.

Now, off to do some online shopping for my own Christmas photos LOL!

October 14th!!

Two more days until closing on the new studio! We did our final walk through this afternoon. They cleared out all their stuff and we are ready to get to work on it!
If anyone loves to paint, I am doing some bartering for some free photos and free sessions, just shoot me an email (this will be done after the sheetrocking).
I am just so excited!

CYSA Cheerleaders

Away from my desk....

Just a quick note to let you all know that I will be out of town until Wednesday. I will have email access, but if you call, I just hope someone takes good notes LOL! If you don't hear back from me on Thursday, please just call back. Chances might be, I did not get the message haha!
Here is another shot from one of my shoots last week. I thought it was sweet!

GAP portraits--DELIVERED!

:) The preschool portraits have been packaged and delivered! (I must say, I am a bit sad to see them go hahaha! I loved looking at all their cute faces on my desk!)
But, now they are yours to enjoy!

~Sneak Peak!~

A couple of cuties from today!

Nice change!

After photographing over 120 kids since last Saturday, this shoot was a nice break! It was great to finally photograph some adults lol (will, I guess if you count a corporate shoot Thursday morning, I did photograph a total of 26 adults this week too! Whew, no wonder I am *beat* tonight haha!)
The Mom wanted a shoot with her 3 kids while they are all in town. The blonde headed one is getting married tomorrow (congrats Rachel!!).

ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photography by Kasey has a new STUDIO! I am SO excited about this! I had to wait to announce it, as we had to deal with zoning. But, after speaking with Dennis Jacobs, all is fine and it is a done deal! I am hoping to close in the middle of October and start having sessions before Christmas. I have a bit of remodeling to do inside--lay hardwood floors, sheetrock and paint, but that's it. My contractors are just waiting on a closing date.

So, what does this mean? It means, NEW backdrops, NEW props and more room! I will be having an open house as soon as it is all finished and everyone is invited.

Along with this will also come a new website! I just sent my design to my webmaster this week, so hopefully that will be ready to be launched this next week. My new blog designs are a sneak peak to the new website!
So, lots of NEW and FUN stuff will be happening at Photography by Kasey!!!

GETTING EXCITED??????

I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About WHAT you wonder????

Hmmmmmmmmmmm................

LOOK OUT!

New and exciting things are about to happen!

Say WHAT??

I am sitting here proofing a session and this sequence of photos is just cracking me up!

Here are a couple more from the session (and YES, more blue eyed cuties!!)
