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!

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................

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!

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.

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.

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!
