Photographer

Established in 2012.Saying when I was established in is very fluid. I watched my mother turn her bathroom into a darkroom when I was a kid and she bought me my first film, yes film, camera when I was 14 - I still use it.

I found myself spending as much time trying to shoot during college as I was spending in class and decided to get my BA in Commercial photography. I graduated in 2009 and immediately began taking on freelance jobs shooting editorial work as well as working for a celebrity photographer.

And then when I moved to Vegas I had the opportunity to do portraits of a friend's daughter and I immediately knew that my heart wanted to capture those beautiful moments for people.

For me it has never been about when I started or was established, but when my photography became more than work I enjoyed but a life I was passionate about. Read more

    Cassidy is a fantastic photographer and captured amazing images for our engagement and wedding! She offers a free engagement shoot when you hire her for your wedding photos, which was an awesome chance to get to know each other, feel comfortable in front of the camera, and have beautiful pictures for our wedding guestbook!

    On our wedding day (5/29/16), Cassidy and her assistant Matt, were so professional and patient ! I love the artistic and creative style of their photos and will cherish all of the candid shots and portraits too. I can't recommend Cassidy enough and am so appreciative of how easy she was to communicate with, not pushy at all in making decisions (we experienced that with other photographers we considered), accommodating to all our requests, and super sweet in the process! :)

    We had such a great time with our family photo session. She was amazing and very patient with our 3 year old puppy while taking our family photos. Our pictures came back more amazing than what I could have ever hoped for. Her professionalism was beyond words. She made us feel comfortable as well as our puppy son. I am still having a hard time believing that the people in our pictures are us. Our family and friends love and enjoy our pictures that she took. Her suggestions for location were amazing and on point, as well as the time of day she suggested to have our pictures taken. She was so thoughtful, that she even brought our son his favorite type of squeaker toy to help keep his attention which he was even able to tear apart at the end. I have already given her contact information to at least 5 of our friends and family. I would recommend her over and over again. Cassidy is an AMAZING photographer! Thank you again!

    We did our photo shoot and received the photos, and I can say that my initial impressions of Cassidy and her work were totally correct. She was early to the appointment, super professional, worked great with my child and family members, and somehow maintained an upbeat positive attitude on a chilly morning outside. Cassidy has an amazing eye and provided guidance to us throughout the session on how to achieve the best shots. She was patient, listened to our ideas, and was smiling the entire time. Cassidy is just an awesome person in general. But none of it would be worthwhile if the photos didn't turn out great, and my goodness the photos came out fantastic. I have no idea what sort of black magic sorcery this woman conjured up but she somehow took admittedly blah backdrops and turned them into stunning family portraits. The photos are really really good and I'm super picky about my photos. I strongly recommend Cassidy all around!!! Two huge thumbs up.
