“I have worked with Cassie multiple times now, on a variety of projects, over years. She has a unique eye for visuals and can work magic to bring the imagined to life. To top it off, every single shoot I have done with her has been with kindness, relatability, respect, fun, and overall enjoyment. Cassie knows how to work with all body and personality types, and knows how to set someone who has body image issues at ease to bring out the best in them. All in all, I highly recommend Cassie to anyone and everyone.”

“Working with Cassie is like working with your badass friend who hypes you up no matter what you’re doing. Cassandra has helped me advertise both sides of my personality with comedy headshots and spicy portraits. I always feel so comfortable in their studio and I always appreciate their direction! Sometimes I feel lost or intimidated, but Cassie always feels like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend her to all my Philly friends!”

“Is it silly to write my own testimonial? Maybe! But I’ve done self-portraits for years and hired other photographers too, and I believe that seeing lovingly crafted art featuring yourself is a transformative experience. Doing sessions for myself has made me love parts of my body I never expected to, and revealed the way my personality shows in how I move and pose.”

“Getting boudoir shots was always on my bucket list, but getting them done with Cassie made the whole thing that much more special. She was super supportive and made sure I was comfortable with every aspect of the experience. I had a rough patch several months before my session (the passing of one of my dearest friends) and I think this was the first day I had a genuine smile in a long while – and it shows in the pictures! Thank you, Cassie!”

“Cassandra is one of my favorite photographers to work with! She’s so talented and such a pleasure to hang out with. From the first time I met her I felt like we had been friends for ages. I have done makeup and hair for her shoots and also modeled for her. I loved both roles and felt so comfortable the entire time! She makes you look and feel like a goddess.”

Jessica Saint


“I’ve worked with Cassie several times now for my business and every time I’m blown away with the images she captures! Each time I think it’s the best shoot we’ve ever done… until the next one, and then THAT’S the best one. She always makes me and our models feel comfortable and confident, she pays attention to all of the little details, and the only difficult part about the whole process is that I want to choose EVERY. SINGLE. PHOTO.”

“I’ve worked with Cassie for maternity photos, headshots, and boudoir. In each of these very different contexts she made me feel both comfortable and creative, and the end products were beautiful representations of me.”

“I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Cassandra multiple times and never in my life have I felt so empowered and comfortable with a photographer. The amount of detail and care that is placed in every aspect of the sets, lighting, down to the gallery curation is magnificent and there is never a moment that you feel out of place or not good enough. The passion and creativity is electric and I recommend Cassandra to everyone as a shoot with her I fully believe is LIFE CHANGING.”

“I have worked with Cassie numerous times. And every time she impresses me more and more. She is so creative and fun to work with. Whether it’s her project idea or mine. She knocks it out every time. She is one of my top favorite female artists!”
