Kasey K. Photo at Career Fair at Delavan-Darien High School

 Back in the fall, October 2011,  I was contacted by email from a representative/Community Outreach Coordinator Ashley Contreras at Delavan-Darien High School to see if I would be interested in giving a presentation on my business Kasey K. Photo & Photography  for the Career Day/Career Fair! I was SO VERY honored & excited to be asked & of course accepted!  In the Above Image is the Photo Slideshow on the TV, my Business Cards & business name display, along with some of my favorite candy treats to share with the students while they were in Session with me. :)

This is my Room set up with my Studio Light & Flat Screen TV for a Slideshow of some of my best Portrait & Wedding/Event Photography over the past 6+ years of being a Professional Photographer.

I brought my Camera bag too & Camera's & flash units, lenses, light diffusers, laptop, radio slaves, etc. were set out on the tables for the students to see what type of equipment that is used for my line of business.

The Above photo is just one of the groups that came in to learn about Photography & Kasey K. Photo!

I was scheduled for five 25-minute sessions from 8:30-11:00 with approximately 15-20 students in each of my sessions.

A FEW TOPICS that I Shared on:

Where I went to School (to College)

Job Skills necessary to be a photographer

What kind of Equipment is Necessary & What it Costs to invest in my business?

My Average Work day & Schedule

I also had some Question & Answer time & told a few fun stories about my photo shoots & experiences! It was a great experience speaking to the groups of students!

Along with the Excitement of presenting, I am not going to lie, I had a little bit of nervousness! It's kind of funny to me now that each session went so well & flew by!  It was a lot of fun getting the students to participate & ask questions throughout the time. The idea of public speaking & speech class in high school rushed back to me, but it was ALL GOOD! I have trained groups of new photographers over the past few years & it's pretty easy telling people/teaching about the Career that you LOVE & have great passion for!

It was a wonderful Experience & I would LOVE to come back & do it again! I love being able to teach photography to people who are interested as well!

Above is the letter/Note I received on a DDHS emblemed Thank you note!

I am happy to be able to share my Career & Professional Experience with the students! Everyone was very welcoming to me, teachers & students alike. :)

 I attended & graduated from Delavan-Darien High School in 2001 & had previously worked with the DDHS Photo Club there for a fundraiser for Mary's Room in January of 2011--you may remember the "Photo Booth Style Fundraiser" :)
