Hello Friends,
It is kinda scary that today is April 22nd, it is almost May, and it has been one of the warmest days yet. I have been feeling the photo bug lately, but due to life and the weather, I haven't been able to snap a photo in a long time. I am hoping that this week of warm weather leads to the Western New York spring we know and love, ya know, instead of a 7th winter. Some of you who are closer to me may know that I have recently moved to Henrietta. Don't you fear my Nunda friends I will definitely still be coming back to do pictures when I can. That being said I am open for summer bookings starting May 1st! I do have a few days where I will be busy (i.e. Graduation) but can't wait to start booking sessions for the summer be them senior portraits, headshots, engagement or the like. Please see my pricing page for additional details. I hope you all are having a great day and I hope to hear from you soon.

![]() Dear Friends, This week I went home and met Kali Bolton in Letchworth State Park. Kali is a senior at Keshequa Central School like several of my other seniors. After attending Keshequa, Kali plans on attending Alfred State and majoring in Culinary. She hopes in the future she will be able have her own bakery. Hey Adrianna you could have a new minion! Keep an eye out for Kali walking Alfred Campus Fall 2018. The picture Kali is holding above is of her Great Grandparents who hold a special place in her life, I think it was a pretty cool touch!

My subjects today were Layne Payne, and the Favo Family. First Layne and I met at the soccer field to take some pictures of him doing one of his favorite things. Layne plays defense for KCS and after watching a game on Friday, I would not be in the line of fire when he comes a running. Layne has applied to the Naval academy, and plans on enlisting after school. After we completed Layne's pictures, I took pictures with the rest of his family. I have know the Favo family for years. Layne and my brother Liam have been friends since kindergarten when they were in cub scouts together. Once aspect of their family. Is that everyone is family. So when they said they wanted to do family pictures that included allll the animals. You will see chickens, goats, dogs, and even a ferret! ![]() Thank you to all of the Favo family, for letting me come and play on your land, and see all your family again. I hope you enjoy these photos and we can play again soon.

I am back at school but some of the seniors in the area having got in touch with me drew me back to Nunda. The first of these seniors is Miss Serena Blackburn. Can we just take a second to say how drop dead gorgeous she is? Serena has been taking modeling classes in Mendon and boy did it pay off. I couldn't stop taking pictures of her. When I got home I had just over 400 pictures to go through. My issue? Miss Serena looked amazing in all of them! So for that reason Miss Serena here has a bit of a bigger gallery than normal. But I hope she will be able to use these extra photos to help build a portfolio to help with her modeling. SOMEONE PLEASE SIGN HER! ![]() Serena is a current member of Keshequa Central Schools class of 2018. She is active in school participating in cross country and in many art related extracurriculars. While she has several options available to her, Serena would love to go to Keuka College to major in Sociology. Good luck Serena! I hope you have an amazing senior year and beyond! Katelyn Costello Instagram: kateskaptured twitter: katekaptured Facebook: Kate's Kaptured Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJyWZ1Vw_5Bd-eYnzpk0k2A Email: [email protected] Hello Friends, Today I would like to share with you the blog post and the rest of the photos of Miss Mia (If you have been following me on social media you will have seen a few little teasers come out.) Mia, James, Mom and I went and played in Highland Park in Rochester this passed weekend. You may remember that this is where Lilac Fest is held every year, but that is the only section of the park I actually knew, I didn't realize how much bigger the park was. So, we ran all over, had a bit of a spill and scuffed knees, went to a playground and we even found a castle! A sunken castle. I have known Mia for... a little over two years now, and she is a lot of fun. Mia is always laughing about something, as you can see in some of pictures she just can't contain the giggles. Or the sass she has plenty of sass. I mean the hair, it is always flipping haha.
You have seen James in a few of the picture series I have done like Rainy Day With The Boys, and Halloween 2016 and he had to tag along with "sister." Mia currently attends Rochester School of the Arts where she is a Cello major. Next fall she would like to attend school to be a Political Science major, but as of now she has not decided at which school she would like to pursue this major of choice. Good Luck to you on your senior year Miss Mia, keep smiling.

My little big brother, as opposed to little little brother which is Aidan. Liam is a member of the Class of 2018 at Keshequa Central School. When we decided when we would be doing his photos he didn't really know what he wanted. So he kinda had two sessions. One more casual and a more formal one back in April. Our "first" session was actually the same day as our grandfather's wedding. We scooted over to an abbey across the road from the church and took a pictures over there. Then last week we took a day and went to the gazebo in Nunda to get a few pictures in his Boy Scout uniform, with his best friend, Koen Weaver. The two boys have been in scouting together since they were in 1st grade, so it just made sense to take pictures together. Lastly, Liam and I went to go play in the Keshequa Creek, as Liam is constantly camping or running around in the woods with friends. Again it was fitting. As of this moment Liam doesn't really know what he wants to go to school for or where, but he has received several helpful scholarships to Clarkson University, RIT, and Sage College. Katelyn Costello

However, today was a special performance. Griffin like many other SOTA students was also in a music program in partner with Eastman School of Music. Today, Griffin showed friends and family a taste of the skills he learned over the years. I must say it was beautiful. Great job Griffin and good luck in the future at Temple Hill. Katelyn Costello

I hope you had a good holiday, I spent mine hanging out with a lot of friends, we kinda took over the house. So while I am not one for "New Years Resolutions" to change my life style, I am really, really bad at them. So I decided this year to set goals for the year. I thought I would share those goals with you. Social Media GoalsSocial media is a huge part of my buissness and marketing process. I have a bit of everything. Let's take a look where we stood at the end of 2016. Facebook Kate's Kaptured: I ended 2016 with 174 likes on my facebook page. Which I have to say I am pretty happy with. There has been a lot of growth with this page. I would love to see this grow even more! My Goal for 2017 is to hit 250 likes. 76 likes people I would love to get 76 likes in a year. Twitter @katekaptured I ended 2016 with 86 followers. I don't tweet that much I mainly use it as another place to share my blog posts. I am working on tweeting a bit more and growing there. I would like to reach 150 followers, twitter feels a bit more difficult just because the number fluctuates so much. We can get there Instagram @kateskaptured this is the one where I have the biggest hopes and dreams. I started my @kateskaptured in April. I finished 2016 with 378 followers. Its crazy, and amazing, and I am over the moon with this growth. And I can't wait to see where it goes. I want to try to reach 800 followers. Crazy right lol a double. Shooting GoalsThis year I had four senior portrait sessions. This coming year, the class of 2018 my little brother graduates highschool. Cue internal screamming. But as I know the class fairly well I am hoping that I can get quite a few seniors. My goal is to get seven seniors, this year.
Another goal I have is to have two paid shoots a month. I do a lot of events that I just go to, but I would love to have 2 paid a month. I had about 1 a month last year. Do an engagment shoot. I am going to be doing the photography for my Grandfather's wedding in the end of April, this will be my first wedding. But I have never done an engagment photoshoot, anyone wanna get engaged and then let me know :p These are my 2017 goals I hope you will help me along the way. I can't wait for what this year brings. If you want to see how my 2016 went please check out the video I posted on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chrVfU2Qf78 Here's to 2017. Love, Katelyn ![]() Hello All, This Saturday I did what will probably be the last set of senior photos for the class of 2017. I met with Paul and we went around his land getting all sorts of photos. It said it was going to be cold, but it wasn't terrible. It said it was supposed to rain, maybe even sleet. It drizzled a tiny bit. But not really enough to count. So Paul, his two dogs and I ran around taking photos. Hope ya like them Paul and family. As always click the photo to be led to the gallery dedicated to the photos.
