Photography is my passion & I love working with people to create beautiful & unique images. I Specialize in studio portraiture, as well as capturing moments with candid & documentary style photography with outdoor natural lighting. From Drawing to Painting to Photography all thru elementary school on up to high school; I took every art class, participated in art club & all the advanced photography
classes that were available to me growing up in the small town of Delavan, WI. I built up my portfolio of artwork & I graduated from Delavan-Darien High School in 2001 and was accepted into my art college of choice- MIAD. An interesting fact about me: going into my first semester of college, I wanted to be a PAINTING Major. But when I realized that all that I wanted to paint were PEOPLE from Amazing PHOTOS—I changed my mind. I found myself very interested in documenting with photography- people in the street, on the bus, in the mall--capturing moments of everyday life & realized that I wanted to use my skills within the community to help others & capture beauty with Photography. All my life back home & with my family, I had been very active in volunteering & helping within the community. While living in Milwaukee, I volunteered my time at a Children’s Shelter/Respite Center & became an advocate for the children thru my time & photographing within the great organization of La Causa’s Children Shelter of which became my Senior Thesis Project & I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2005. Out of college, I became a Professional Photographer for Visual Image Photography (VIP) capturing school pictures, event candids, sports individuals as well as senior portraits. After a few years, I loved working in the Senior Portrait division, & it became my creative focus within this company as I assisted in opening VIP’s Wheeling Studio in Illinois and worked as Assistant Manager/Portrait Photographer at the studio for 2 years. Since leaving Wheeling, IL in January of 2009, my home base is Delavan, WI again, where I started Kasey K. You know ‘they’ say “Home is where the heart is!” I am happy to be back closer to my family & my support system--I love them SO much & can't express how grateful I am for all they have done in helping me achieve my dreams! In 2009 is when I was officially in business for myself & I love the amazing people I have met & worked with & the opportunities that have come of it; participating in many fundraisers: one for the American Cancer Society-Relay for life Calendar & a “Photo Booth” style fundraiser for Mary’s Room & the high school Photo Club. These are just two of the events where I have been so happy to give my time & talents back to the community. I am continuing daily to find creative ways to help out & expand my efforts—So keep a look out! To keep busy & educated, within a great group of photographers, I continue to work with senior portraits, seasonal/ freelance for VIP & travel weekdays ‘on the road’ with them to many different schools June thru September of each year. I photograph for Kasey K. Photo year-round traveling for a variety of portrait sessions, weddings & special event coverage. Thanks for stopping by Kasey K. Photo to see what I've been working on!
