A Little About Me

Photo by Isabelle Selby

I create photos that hold the weight of a memory: honest, emotional, and deeply personal. My approach is rooted in storytelling and connection, ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. I’m often told I have a calming presence that makes people feel at ease. I like to think that’s because Southern Hospitality is embedded in my DNA. I know that being photographed can feel a little awkward at first, so I bring this calming energy, thoughtfulness and care to every wedding and session. At the end of the day, my goal is to make sure you have fun in front of my camera and you are left with beautiful photos that feel true to you.

Love Notes

Cassie brought out the fun during all the photo sessions. She was easy-going, organized and made everyone comfortable in front of the camera. Several people even said they felt like Cassie was part of our family!
