Hello there, I'm Cassi. I hope we get the pleasure of meeting soon!

​​I am a mom, wife, sister, daughter, businesswoman, entrepreneur, crafter, gardener, camper, hiker, fisherman, veteran....and many more! I enjoy life to the fullest. I have seen many wonders of the world and love to share my experiences with anyone willing to listen. I am very family-oriented, easy-going, lover of the outdoors and will admit that my family, friends and pets all have me wrapped around their fingers/paws! 

Photography is my biggest passion in life and I love making memories last forever. ​My camera goes with me almost everywhere!!! ​​​I even have a scrapbook for every year of life that my husband and I have been together, every big event in our lives & baby books for each of my kids. ​Feel free to ask to see my collection someday!!! I want to help YOU create your own memories that can be remembered for your lifetime and beyond. In my eyes, there is absolutely nothing better than looking back on old photographs and remembering that exact moment in time as if it were happening currently!
​
I love meeting new people, seeing new animals and exploring new lands. Discovering what types of memories people want captured and being able to make that happen is what I strive to accomplish with my photography!
"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever....it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
    Cassi goes above and beyond in all aspects. She's always SO kind! Very flexible when it comes to time and location of the photo session. She tries her hardest to capture the best photos of our family, and you can truly see the value in her work. She makes suggestions along the way, sessions are always very laid back and comfortable. She truly takes her time during the photo session, and especially after, during the reveal session; she makes certain we are satisfied with our final photos we choose.   - Molly G
    Cassi really has it all - she pulls the hat trick of being completely professional, warm & friendly, and is a total baby whisperer.  She made us feel right at home in her studio and had all the essentials for an infant shoot.  When we saw the final product, I could only describe her work as stunning! Highly recommend!   - Christina R
    So amazing!!! Her new studio is adorable and so comfy I could hang out there daily! A definite must when looking for a photographer in the Rochester and surrounding area. To top the cake, she has the sweetest personality. We will be using Cassi for years to come!   - Nichole M
    I could not be happier - highly, highly recommend @shootingcandidly! Not only are our pictures beautiful, but working with Cassi was such a fantastic experience. She was super flexible with our schedule, able to squeeze us in quickly, and returned our photos quicker than any photographer I've ever worked with. She is personable, professional, and was super sweet and patient when our little guy was being a stinker - you'd never know it from all the smiling pictures she somehow got out of him! Thank you again!

    Really enjoyed our experience. Very professional and captured some great photos for us. We responded to a need for a model and loved the photos so much we bought them.   - Stephanie M
    ​We were so fortunate to have the lovely Cassi capture our family photos this Fall. She made the session fun, easy, and enjoyable (even with two crazy toddlers!). Thank you, Cassi for your hard work and time put into capturing this sweet stage of life.   - Megan J
    ​Cassi is a super talented photographer! She is flexible with scheduling and SO patient and understanding, especially with more "spirited" kids. Great sense of humor, and her photography speaks for itself.    - Priv S
    OMG Cassie! I just opened our gallery and LOVE all of them!!! You did such an amazing job!! Thank you!! I can't wait to put your work up on our walls!! (And Christmas cards!) lol I am SO impressed! Thank you!!    - Brittany R
    We did a family session at Silver Lake with Cassi, and we were so pleased with her work! She captured our family beautifully. We will definitely book her again!

    We couldn't be happier with our family pictures that we had taken with Cassi in September! We are a family of 9 including two very active little boys. She was able to capture some amazing pictures! The tough part is going to be picking out our favorite to print because they all turned out so well. I would highly recommend Cassi and look forward to having her take our pictures in the future.
