PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Plattsburgh NY + Adirondacks

PHOTOGRAPHY
FOR PEOPLE WHO DREAD BEING PHOTOGRAPHED

Uncomfortable being in front of the camera? You're not alone.

My belief is everyone deserves photography that feels relaxed, honest, and easy.

 

What I like to do is create fun, natural moments where you forget the camera is there. This lets me show the real connections between people, so you can look and feel your absolute best, without having to pretend.

I’m not here to give you stiff, copy‑and‑paste poses. I’m here to make it effortless so the photos look like you—whether you frame them forever or just flex them online.

68% of people hate how they look in photos or feel awkward in front of a camera. If that’s you, you’re in the right place because IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THAT!

Things like body image, camera shyness, and mere-exposure effect are more common than you think.

" Cass was absolutely amazing!! My daughter has anxiety and was very nervous going into the shoot but Cass was great with her. By the end she had completely come out of her shell and had more confidence than before. I would 100% recommend her. We were both extremely happy with the results!"

Hi!

I'M CASS

Thank you for inviting me into moments you never live twice. It's one of the greatest honors of my work.

MOST PHOTOGRAPHERS FOCUS ON MAKING YOU LOOK PERFECT.
 

I LIKE TO FOCUS ON MAKING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.
 

Here's the difference: When you're relaxed and being yourself, great photos happen naturally.

No crazy posing. No fake smiles. Just you, being authentically you.

 

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT:

• I interact with you person to person, I never expect you to "perform" for my camera

• I capture the in-between moments others miss  

• I turn camera-shy people into confident subjects


 

THE RESULT?

Photos that actually feel and look like you. Not some staged version the world expects to see.

 

Whether it's your wedding day, senior portraits, or family session you'll leave saying "I can't wait to get my photo taken again!"

 

Because authentic will always beat perfection.

You've got questions. I've got answers.

How much does this cost? Do you have packages? Photo Sessions start at $395 Weddings start at $1800 Check out my "BOOK ONLINE" page for more information. If you're looking for a custom quote, feel free to reach out!

What is included in your photography services? All sessions and weddings include printing rights to your photos. Feel free to share them with your mom, your best friend, or even the guy at the corner store. They are YOUR memories, I don't believe in holding them hostage.

How long does it take to get my photos back? I book in a very limited number of weddings and photo shoots each year. This way I can dedicate time to my clients, not only before your session but to ensure their photos are ready in a timely manner. You will wait no longer than 2 weeks for photo sessions & no longer than 3 weeks for a full wedding gallery.

What if my kids/fiancé/partner won't cooperate or are super stiff? In over 15 years of photographing, I can say that the arsenal of dad jokes in my pocket is pretty hefty. But you and I both know, some people just can't get comfortable in front of the camera. Shit, I'm one of em'! And that is okay! This is why it is important to me that my clients receive the time they need for their photos. I don't believe in mini sessions, rushing people through 15 minutes of posing. I don't like to force people into some weird social media thing that's trending. I cannot make people stand and say cheese, I am too busy seeking true interaction and a collaborative experience together.

What happens if I hate my photos? Well, first off those are fightin' words. But, really YOU FRIGGIN TELL ME! I want you to LOVE your photos. I want you to be so excited about your photos, that you start showing the bank teller, the lady behind you at the grocery store, the guy next to you at the red light! I want you to want to scream from the roof tops that you LOVE your photos and you LOVED our time together. It isn't going to hurt my feelings, I'm not gonna post some BS story about you online to save my pride. I am going to do whatever I can, to remedy the situation. I'm a firm believer of building a longer table than a higher fence. So if that means a re-shoot or refund we will figure out what works best for both of us.
