68% of people hate how they look in photos or feel awkward in front of a camera. If that's you — you're in exactly the right place. Sessions are designed to feel like you, not like a performance. Real moments. Real connections. No stiff copy-and-paste poses.
My belief is everyone deserves photography that feels relaxed, honest, and easy. I create fun, natural moments where you forget the camera is there — so you can look and feel your absolute best, without having to pretend.
Cass changed our relationship with being in photos and with ourselves.
Voted one of Lake Placid & the Adirondacks' Best Wedding Photographers. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop at sunrise or in a lakeside barn surrounded by everyone you love — I'm here to document it all without missing a single real moment.
I only take on 2 full wedding days annually — not because I'm unavailable, but because each story deserves my complete artistic attention. Limited 2026 & 2027 dates remaining.
From senior portraits on the dock at Chateaugay Lake to family sessions in autumn Adirondack foliage — every session is designed to feel effortless, even for the most camera-shy among us.
Outdoor locations around the Adirondacks, North Country & beyond. Your personality, your story — not a yearbook pose.
Multi-generation sessions, extended families, newborns — captured in the places that matter most to you.
The perfect way to get comfortable in front of my lens before your wedding day. Golden hour, lakeside, or deep in the Adirondack forest.

And my guess is that you aren't either.
You are more than just a person in front of a camera. You are an individual with your own unique story, and my job is to help you see that. My photography is about capturing your genuine self — the raw emotions, the real connections that make you who you are.
I'm carrying over 20 years of experience in wedding, elopement, music, and portrait photography. My journey has taken me from intimate weddings in Plattsburgh, NY on the coast of Lake Champlain, to high-energy music festivals in Nashville, TN — and everywhere in between.
For years, I was the one ducking out of photos too — hiding behind the camera, telling myself I'd "do pictures later" when I felt more ready. Then people I loved weren't in the frame anymore, and those missing photos hurt in a way that went way beyond looks.
That's why my photography is built around helping uncomfortable humans actually show up in their own story. This isn't about perfect poses — it's about documenting a legacy. Making it easy to relax in front of the lens so, years from now, your favorite people aren't left with empty spaces where you should have been.
