Good... Vetter... Best!

Land of Many Waters

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the interior of Guyana for two weeks. I went as a support person on a medical team from Ve'ahavta, a Canadian Jewish Humanitarian Organization partnered with the Lions Club of Bartica.

the Vetters are Better-- previews

While Natalie was getting ready, I had Anton show me around his farm. I told him to show me one of his favorite things on the farm. He headed straight for this and posed before I even had my camera up!

There's a lovely area on his farm with trees and a lake-pond. I loved the fall colors! And just like her husband, Natalie posed so easily and naturally for me- making my job easy!

She loves those three trees in the background.

Anton was very excited about this rings on a rusty handlebar picture. He claims it should bring me plenty of money.

and then the photo that Natalie was determined to get... I love it!

hello, little froggy!

My sister and I were out in the backyard and saw this frog. We caught it and decided to take pictures. S/he was very cooperative and for the most part didn't try to hop away! What a fun little photoshoot!

Regarding Photo packages: Photo package includes a batch of finished photos (typical photoshoot 15-20), plus temporary access to the originals post-shoot for you to provide feedback regarding your favorites and the ones you would most like touched up.

My decision on which photos to provide finishing touches on is based on my artistic and professional opinion of the quality, potential, and client satisfaction of each photo.

Regarding touching-up photos: You may make specific editing/touch-up requests (more in depth than "I like this photo a lot, please touch it up!"), however I reserve the right to choose not to do them or charge an extra fee (which I will notify you of prior to performing the edits requested) of at minimum $5 per photo. This also applies to touch-ups additional to the original 15-20 provided in your photo package.

Regarding Payment: Payment is due at time of photoshoot. If this is not possible, please speak to me about a flexible payment plan. I believe that custom photography is well worth the price, but I also understand being on a tight budget. Prices are subject to change, but will not change after your appointment is scheduled (excepting additional fees as listed above).

This means I avoid obviously posed pictures and strive to put my clients at ease so to capture their natural beauty and personality. I am striving to offer the best services possible to my clients through reasonable prices based on both the time investment and my experience, training, and talent. I am continually improving the quality of the products I offer through training and consulting with experienced photographers.

She had most unique shoes I've ever had someone wear for a photoshoot.

We shot at Sumner train station. It was such a good location with a variety of fun backdrops!




The heart one is probably my favorite out of this whole bunch.



This one I had a vision of as soon as I saw this mailbox. It was fun to pose them, take the picture, and then make my vision come alive.

About Cassànndrè

as a photographer...

I am a natural lighting photographer with a passion for candid photography.

I have three rules for my clients:

1) absolutely NO fake smiles

2) with couples: your job is to flirt with each other. shamelessly. be sexy, saucy, giddy, gooey, sappy, and ridiculously happy in love.

2) with couples: absolutely NO kissing (including "pecks") unless it's long enough for me to take several pictures

I believe that a photoshoot should be fun for all involved and strive to capture my clients' essence through candid shots, natural poses, and genuine smiles.

I probably first became interested in photography at the age of 12 when my grandfather passed on to me his very nice film camera. I began using up rolls and rolls of film, especially on vacation. Then as a teenager I had a couple of simple point and shoot digital cameras. By age 16 I was known among my friends as the annoying one with the camera. Around the time I turned 18 my other grandfather passed along to me one of his beautiful, trustworthy, digital cameras. I've been lost behind the lens ever since! Mostly I began by taking candid shots- of the garden, the pets, my friends... then slowly my friends started to ask me to take photos of them! After a while I realized I had something going for me and started to seriously pursue and accept more and more photographic opportunities. That was two years ago. I now have enjoyed the privilege of shooting single portraits, couples/engagement photos, and even weddings and I absolutely love it.

as a regular person...

I believe that I have the choice to be happy. When I choose to be happy, I see beauty everywhere. I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life, but it will involve having a family and helping people. I am currently an undergraduate biology major. I cry really easily. I don't like seafood. Or spinach. I'm shy, but I hear that I hide it well. I love to dance and I'm a different person when I play my flute. I absolutely loved cadaver anatomy. I didn't like babies until I was 14. Now I love them and am excited to be a Mom someday (and take millions of pictures of my kids!)

I'm Cassànndrè, and I'm a Mormon :)

Mukilteo Beach

So I've probably spent more time at this beach than any other. It is literally five minutes from my Grandma's house and when I was little we'd go all the time and feed the birds and play around on the logs. So fun. Sometimes we'd even take the ferry and go visit Fort Casey on Whidbey Island.

I remember one time hearing about my Grandma and Grandpa being on the news. They had decided to take the dog for a walk (good ol' Peppy, the Schipperke) and it was a really windy day. I guess something about the "old" couple and the little black dog appealed to King 5, because they decided to interview them briefly about the wind. I wonder if Grandma still has that video anywhere(yes this was back in the day of VHS tapes)....

this ferry is way out where you don't normally see ferries. grandma told me to take a picture of it in case it's significant.

i really love the way the photos of this cluster of rocks turned out.

i like the reflection.

grandma. sitting on a log.

the. sky. is. awesome.
