Welcome

I’m so grateful that you’ve found your way here!

Photographing families is a passion that I’ve been lucky enough to call my life’s work for the last 14 years, and it would be an honor to document yours.

I invite you to grab a coffee & learn what sets me apart from other photographers, browse through my portfolio, read some Frequently Asked Questions, or simply reach out & say hello!

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Known for my Quick Connection Sessions & incredibly fast turnaround time.

I take great pride in delivering high quality work in a short amount of time. With my sessions being just thirty minutes long, this means less interruption to your daily plans and routines, and kiddos who aren’t exhausted to the max. As far as my guaranteed 24 hour delivery? That’s just because I love you (and because I’m a little Type-A)

  • Families

    With a simple photo-journalistic approach, these sessions are easy going & so much fun. In just 30 minutes, not only will you have a collection of emotion-filled photos for your keeping, but it’s my mission to have you walk away feeling energized & more in love with your family-unit than ever.

  • Newborn

    There are few things more exciting than expecting new life — other than when that new life finally arrives. It’s always such an honor to photograph these tender moments in my client’s lives & to watch a family grow. These sessions are intimate, organic & calm. You also have the option of adding on a highlight film.

  • Just the Kiddos

    Maybe you’re not in need of family photos just yet, but you know you want to capture the essence of your kids and their personalities as they are, in this moment. Time is so fleeting, I get it. These sessions focus solely on your little ones - celebrating their individual personalities & curiosities. You can sit back & take it all in while I keep up with your babes. Fair warning: fun will be had.

  • "It's hard to put into words the magic and profound meaning of my experience shooting with Cassandra. What was initially an opportunity to take advantage of working with her while visiting Chicago, turned into one of the most healing experiences. She has a unique skill for doing this work, and the entire process was a gift."

    — Clara A.

  • "If you're reading this, you already know how amazing Cassandra's work is. But, if for some reason you're hesitant because of pricing, our only advice is to absolutely do it. We couldn't be happier with our decision. We are in love with our images. Our family & close friends were moved to tears (literally) by the beautiful and candid moments she so perfectly captured."

    — Brittany & Family

  • "We truly have nothing but the highest praise and appreciation for all that Cassandra has done for our family. She is a master at capturing genuine emotion & cherished moments. She has become our family photographer & we will keep coming back to her as long as she will have us! I wouldn’t ever pass up the chance to work with Cassandra."

    — Dominic & Family

It doesn't have to be perfect, just true.

Proudly recognized for for my quick, yet thorough & emotion-packed sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yep, they really are. I know what you might be thinking — how in the world can you get enough photos in 30 minutes?! It’s because I pride myself on photographing with my intuition, first. I’m never not clicking the shutter — which ensures you get so many beautiful candid moments, in a short amount of time. Win/win.

  • It really depends, but the average range is anywhere from 100-200.

  • So here’s the thing - with my Quick Connection Sessions, to keep the flat rate in place, generally the sessions are held locally. However, I’m alway more than happy to come to you! There’s just a travel fee that will be added on.

  • That’s completely up to you! I’ll always vouch and say that I really don’t think you need more than 30 minutes based on my years of experience, however, you know your family better than anyone. We can always extend to 45 minutes or 60 minutes at an additional cost.
