Welcome sweet friend!

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you stumbled across this space by chance or sought it out with intention, I already know this; you are part of a story that matters. The small details, the way you felt in the moment, the way the light hits the faces you love so deeply, it all matters deeply to you.

My name is Cass and I am a Maine based lifestyle and documentary photographer. I am also a mother, wife, romantic, Swiftie, lover of books and someone who is always wearing their rose colored lenses. I live half in a dream world of my own creation and love to weave escapism and golden threads of love through my work and life. I approach life with curiosity and the want to go deeper than the surface and photography is no exception. For me, it is more than just clicking a shutter or capturing perfectly posed smiles. It’s about something deeper and slightly untouchable. Connection beyond eye contact with the camera. It’s the way your laughter feels like home when you’re with your loved ones, the quiet moments when the world softens and gives way to gentle touches and smiles that touch our eyes, the subtle gestures that speak louder than words. My lens is drawn to these fleeting moments and in between spaces because they are the threads that weave our lives together, creating tapestries rich in texture and meaning.

Here, you’ll find more than images; you’ll find stories—yours, mine, and the ones we build together. I believe every chapter of life is worth romanticizing, whether it’s a windswept day by the sea, a cozy moment at home, or the milestone events that take your breath away. It’s about honoring the messy, beautiful, authentic parts of existence that make us who we are and write the pages of our lives.

My work is rooted in emotive imagery that feels like an heirloom—the kind of photographs you pass down, not because they’re perfect, but because they hold your history. They tell the truth of how it felt to be there, in that moment. They are keepsakes of love, laughter, and everything in between.

This blog space is my love letter to you all and your adventures. It is where I’ll share glimpses of the lives I’m privileged to document, along with musings on storytelling, inspiration, and the magic of turning ordinary days into extraordinary memories. It’s an invitation to slow down, savor the present, and see life through a lens of wonder.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope these stories inspire you to find beauty in your own. Let’s celebrate every chapter, together.
