Abandoned....almost!

Yes, you could say I have just about abandoned my blog lately! I have just had too much going on and well, as I have stated before, I'm really just not the best blogger around. Here it is though, yes... a new blog!

I have been doing some really neat and fun things with my family, it's still a school year for my home schooled son, learning some astrophotography from (or with) my husband, working in the studio, marketing, social media, housework, cooking, and always mounds of laundry. It is these things that keep me from sitting in front of the computer writing a blog.

A couple of weekends ago my family and I took a trip to Asheville, NC to beautiful Biltmore Estates. It was a wonderful thing seeing the expressions on the faces of the kids (they're both barely teens) at the grandeur of what life was like for the Vanderbilt family. We spent some time walking in the gardens, touring the house from the basement to the fourth floor, had lattes in the courtyard, spent a huge amount of time (and money) in the gift shops, and took lots of pictures. It was a fantastic day with my family and I look forward to going back again when all the gardens are in full bloom.

As you know, Facebook has now changed over to timeline and with it comes the opportunity to create nice timeline covers for your fan page and your personal page. I've created two for my business fan page and I'm pretty pleased with both of them. A lot of people seem to dislike the new format but I don't really have a problem with it, in fact, I kinda like it. Below are two of the timeline covers I created for my fan page: You can visit my Facebook fan page at Kasey Martin Photography Please stop by for a visit.

My husband has decided he wants to get into photography (as I mentioned above)...astrophotography that is! It's very in depth, intricate, and a completely different field of photography from what I do. It's also extremely interesting and I plan on trying my hand at a few shots of the massive expanse of what's out there in the universe, a galaxy, or the moon sometime soon. Rob is just starting out in this adventure but he has already captured some amazing pictures. This one is of the Orion Nebula

The best news is working in a studio!!! No, it's not mine completely! Yes, I share space with another photographer and I'm loving it. I have a few photos of my session with my step-daughter, Emily, posted on my Facebook fan page so stop in an take a look at them. They're not on my website yet, well, because that's another area where I have been lacking in keeping it updated! The address of the studio is 1312 Morrell Road, Knoxville, TN 37919 but I still work out of my office at 7630 Highway 11 E. I do consults at my home and shoot the sessions at the studio space. If you need new family, senior, childrens , newborn, or business headshots in the studio give me a call at 865-607-5014 and book your studio time now.

Until next time...God bless and keep smiling!
