Hi, I'm Cassondra.

Meet your new favorite

Mom-Friend - in a good way.

I'm not like a regular Mom Friend, I'm a cool Mom Friend. I'm gonna tell you how good you look multiple times, pull scissors out of my bag in a pinch, and always have your timeline within reach. We'll laugh during your portraits, I'll be gently sarcastic with your wedding party, and I'll probably tear up during your speeches and first dance. Most importantly though, I'll handle your moments like the professional you want and tell the story of your day through photographs you'll love.

Every wedding collection can be customized to your needs with coverage beginning at $1600.

Show Me Weddings

Portrait sessions are a little different than weddings: you'll still get my specific brand of sarcastic humor, and I'll probably still have a pair of scissors in my bag, but these sessions tend to be a little more relaxed. We'll talk about the best spots for dinner in Philadelphia and the best hiking spots in the suburbs. Whether it's an engagement, a family, your birthday photos, or your new headshots, we'll pick a location in the Philly area and spend time getting to know each other and creating images that feel like you - whatever that means.

Portraits sessions start at $200.

When I'm not photographing clients, I'm traveling with my husband to find new places to photograph and spending time outdoors. We're big fans of the National Parks system and have visited 23 of 63, explored 40 states, and countless state parks.

I love taking photos of our travels and getting out of the Philly area to see new landscapes brings me joy. These photographs allow me to play with composition, lighting, and techniques in a way that I can't always do during a session. The freedom to experiment and create for myself helps bring a fresh perspective to each new session. You can view them in my Adventures with Andrew collection.

Want to combine portraiture or weddings and travel? Send me an email and let's make a plan.

So Who am I?

I grew up in Southern New Jersey and currently live just south of Philadelphia, PA. I like champagne, pizza and playing cozy video games. I'm a Gemini and I read my horoscope almost daily. I like most types of music and a good true-crime thriller. I'm a sucker for a good vanilla latte or a chocolate chip cookie. I laugh at my own jokes - a lot. I've had a lot of jobs and they've almost all involved photography. I try not to take myself too seriously. I hated being called Cassondra as a kid, but I've come around to it. Most of my friends call me Cass or Cassie, and you can too.
