When images speak.....

Can you hear them?

Do you stop to listen?

Here are a few shots from one of my sessions this past week. These boys were so full of spunk and personality that while you try to aim for "the perfect shot" sometimes you just have to sit back and let them be who they are.
What awesome kids!

ETSY!

Have you all ever checked out Etsy for cute handmade clothes??? VERY good prices and OMGosh! SO CUTE, stylish and some funky fun outfits! Here are just a few links to some sellers, but look around on the site and do some searches for things you may want! I am going to order some little baby bloomers to keep here for sessions. I will post some photos when I get them!

~Grace Academy Preschool~

Preschool parents,
You should have received a note home letting you know of the days I will be taking preschool photos. It was changed from the first note (or newsletter?) that was sent home. The new dates are:

APRIL 7 (Morn. and Aft. classes)
APRIL 8 (Morn. and Aft. classes)

The photos will be taken on a light gray canvas backdrop. The photo below is an example of it. I will send home the order forms with your child about a week before photos are taken. All photos need to be paid for on picture day. This is the 3rd year (ok, maybe the 4th year??--I lose track!) I have done the preschool photos for Grace Academy. I really enjoy getting to know your child! They are all so special and sweet!
So, please take note of the new dates and feel free to call me at 251-8546 should you have any questions.

Appointments!

I am now full and have no more appointments if you are needing your photos by Easter. I do have 3 more days open in March for appointments--March 10th, 11th and 27th. However, the photos will not be back before Easter.
When you have a session with me, you will be asked to sign a model release so I can post sneak peaks on my blog or maybe add them to my gallery at my website. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SIGN THIS! I will be very sensitive to any special wishes regarding your childs photo and the internet.
Should your child become sick, please call to reschedule. If your child is not feeling well, it will show in the photos.
If you have any questions, just give me a call at 251-8546!
THANKS!

All Better!

Well, we are all finally better and over that flu bug! Here is Miss "R" and Mr. "T". I first photographed him when he was around one. I photographed her when she was just a tiny baby, in fact, she is one of my babies included in my display up at CRMC in the maternity dept! Sweet, sweet kids!

Flu Bugs Bite!

And, yes, they have bit all of us! Of course, it has been one at time, so for the past 2 weeks someone here has had the flu. YUCK. This week, it is my turn. I want to say THANK YOU to those of you who had sessions scheduled this week that we had to reschedule until next week. I really appriciate your patience and understanding! To those who have turned in orders this week, they may be just a day or two behind. Today, I am finally feeling a bit better and am getting some things done.

Remember, Easter is early this year! If you are needing photos done before Easter, you better call in the next week or two! I am filling up fast, and will be taking the week before Easter (March 13-25) off. I will not be placing orders or doing sessions during that time as my family is all coming to town. (YAY!!) The week after that, I will be getting ready to shoot First Communion at Holy Name (Sunday, March 30th) and Grace Academy Preschool (staring Monday March 31th through Wednesday, April 2nd). I will not be taking regular sessions during that week.

I do have a $35.00 session fee that has now been implemented, so please come prepared to pay that the day of your session. All pricing may be found on my website at www.photographybykasey.com

I hope you all stay well and healthy and away from all these nasty bugs!

Take care,
Kasey

Ohhhh....I added a new children's clothing link on the right---Crazy8! It is owned by the same company that ownes Gymboree (it is like what Old Navy is to Gap). Pretty good clearance sale going on now! Just a little 411!

***NEW***

Introducing my new Shabby and Sweet Baby Announcements!

This weekends sessions....

Getting a tad ahead of myself, but had to share a few from some sessions this weekend!

A Girl and Her Boots.

Sharing a storyboard from tonights session. I will share more of her and her 2 sisters later! I just thought this was so cute! She was about to leave when OMgosh! She put on these boots! How cute are they! Of COURSE, I had to photograph her in them haha!

A fun variety

Another great session that is hard to narrow down! This girl is SO much fun to photograph. I just let her have at it. I could just post this entire session on here haha, but I will just give you all a little peak at several different things we did.
Her "fancy" dress!

This one I used more dramatic lighting. I love it!

Looks like he could be a model!

Her pose!

A splash of color.

See the flowers, yes, they are tucked into her waitband! What a hoot!

One more of them together.


That's it for now! I have only just peeked at this session so far!

Ok, I lied. Here are a few more!

Gift Certificates!

Need a Valentine gift for a loved one? Just a reminder I do have Gift Certificates available!

Standout Board

Here are some examples of Standout Board. This is one of my favorite mounts (only 2nd to canvas!) It comes ready to hang, so no need for a frame!

Collages

Here are two of my best selling 16x20 collages. Have them printed on standout board and they will be ready to hang! I will add a photo with the standout board soon to give you an idea of what it is.
You should be able to click on the photo to enlarge it to see it better now. It took me awhile to figure out why blogger changed it and you couldn't do that anymore, but I finally did (it was in the html coding!)

Another cutie pie!

Here are a few I just started proofing from today's session. This boy has seriously got the most beautiful blue eyes! I have photographed him since he was 3 months old. He will be a big brother this summer and I can't wait to have another one to photograph!
