Cassie was an absolute pleasure to work with! We reserved her for a family reunion and we're not an easy group to handle! She did it with humor and grace, and the photos came out beautifully! We'd asked her for both candid and formal portraits and we were pleased with all of the outcomes. We'll definitely use her again and I think you should too! read more

Cassie has been photographing my, now 8 year old, daughter since she was six-months old and will continue to for years to come. Cassie makes us feel comfortable and at ease during our shoots. She gives great direction and it's clear she truly loves her chosen career. Cassie is a true talent behind the camera, while working with her clients, and her photo editing skills can't be beat. Cassie has produced a reliable and constant product for our family during the last eight years, for countless shoots. She captures priceless moments on camera and her art will be cherished in our family for generations to come. Thank you, Cassema Photography for sharing your talent with our family.

I don't even know where to start really. Cassie is an amazing person inside and out. We INSTANTLY connected just by her choice in sweater! (obviously it was Basgiath gear). She was amazing with my girls. They warm up quickly with the right person and Cassie is just that. She knows exactly what to say and how to say it to make you feel comfortable. She has the perfect ideas and captures them so quickly. I warned her before we shot that we were NOT very good picture takers and didn't have a clue on how to pose. Cassie never made us feel silly for that and definitely helped us capture those moments. It was so hard to choose from all of them that we ordered more than our package included, which was already 15 pictures (color and black and white). She was quick with her sneak peak and even quicker with the whole album. She was clear about how long it would take from start to finish (once the pictures were taken). This process took about 30 second from leaving the location for sneak peak and about a day or so to see the whole album. I took forever deciding which ones we wanted but I'd say all in all maybe 3 days from picture taking to having edited pictures. Dad is deployed and that made it hard to want to take these pictures but between Cassie's wonderful and patient personality and the weather cooperating perfectly, we were able to come out with some of the most fantastic pictures! Before we even left the shoot, we set up deployment homecoming pictures. AND, she doesn't know it yet, she'll be doing newborn/family pictures once baby brother is born! I cannot stress enough how wonderful this experience was and I truly feel like I walked away with a new friend on top of the perfect pictures. read more

Cassema Photography - Waiting for daddy to be home from deployment. - Session Photography Near Me - Poway, California

Cassie has been our family photographer (and friend) for many years now. She makes the photo shoots fast and easy, while capturing our family at it's best. She is personable, easy going, loves our doggy and always on-time. She edits the final choices of your photos, and, if you have anything else that you'd like her to edit, it is not a problem for her to do so. I also found her website to be very informative! Her proofs and prints we ordered have a pretty quick turnaround time. We hang the portraits, but also book early and use her photo(s) for our "traditional" annual Holiday cards. Thank you Cassie! read more

Cassema Photography - Old Poway Park Maternity Shoot Nov 10, 2021 - Session Photography Near Me - Poway, California

Hey there! I just had to share our amazing experience with Cassandra, the photographer who did our Christmas mini-photo session! This year, we hadn't had any family photos taken in a while, and it was just what we needed. From the moment we walked in, Cassandra was so gentle and kind--it felt like we were in great hands right away! I was a bit worried because there was a big age gap between my kids, and I thought my almost 2-year-old might not want to cooperate with her older sister. But to my surprise, they played so nicely together! Cassandra was incredibly patient, especially with the little one, who wanted to do her own thing. The best part? My kids were not shy at all! They got into the spirit of the photo session, and it was just so heartwarming to see them enjoying themselves. I absolutely can't wait to show these stunning photos off to my family! It was such a fantastic experience, and I'm thrilled with how everything turned out! I link her information below if anyone wants to schedule any future pictures. www.cassemaphotography.com Instagram.com/cassemaphotography TikTok.com/@cassemaphotography read more

Such a delight having such a precious moment taken with her! She was able to capture exactly what I envisioned before my son was born and after. I felt seen and heard which are extremely important when being photographed. Thank you so much! We look forward to more sessions with you! read more

I've never really know what would be the cause for me to write a Yelp review, good or bad. But Cassie has finally done it! If i could give 10 stars i would. We have used her few times and she always go above and beyond... but this year she outdid herself. My wife had a idea in her head and Cassie executed with perfection. She is kind and sweet, patient and understanding . You won't find better. I promise. read more

I booked Cassie for my maternity shoot and it was the best decision! I found her through Instagram and searches online and after getting quotes from or talking to other photographers, Cassie by far was the most pleasant, most responsive, most helpful, and super talented. We had scheduled the shoot two months in advance and when the day arrived, the weather was not as we had hoped since we were shooting on the beach and Cassie totally left it up to me to decide if I wanted to go through with the shoot anyways. She was so sincere and genuine when she kept telling me that it was my photoshoot and she wanted me to have the best experience and the background I wanted. We decided to reschedule, but when the day came again, the skies were again gray, it was chilly, windy and gloomy. I didn't want to reschedule so we followed through with it although I was not in good spirits due to the weather. When Cassie arrived, she gave me a big hug and reassured me several times not to worry about the weather or background and that everything was going to come out perfect. We haven't received our pictures yet but we did get a preview and were absolutely stunned with how magical the picture turned out. Cassie gave me the BEST experience! She was full of positive energy, good vibes, and compliments. If it weren't for her attitude, it would have been a totally different experience for my husband and I. She made the shoot fun and energetic despite the gloomy weather. She made me feel so much better! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, CASSIE!!! read more

WOW! Highly recommend to everyone! I found Cassandra through Google search for a maternity beach photographer and I am so glad I did. From day 1, on the phone, she has been the sweetest person. She doesnt make you feel like a client. She makes you feel like a friend. She takes care of you and makes certain all your needs and wants are met. She way WAY above and beyond anything I could've asked for for my maternity shoot. I enjoyed my time with her and even booked my little girls newborn shoot with her too! Cassie was so patient with her. She didnt complain once about the crying or fussing, or when she needed to be fed or changed. Cassie took such great care of us and worked in everything we wanted. Her return time for edited photos was great. We even purchased photos from her and I can't wait to get them displayed! We could not be happier with her. We will definitely be booking again! read more

Cassie is amazing! I wanted someone to build a relationship with and who could do all my milestone sessions, she has now done my maternity, newborn, my elopement pictures, and just recently my baby's one year old photos!

She will be our only photographer from here on out, it just doesn't get any better! read more

Absolutely love working with Cassie! She's so patient with the little ones!! The cake smash backdrops are absolutely stunning. She has amazing attention to detail and it's reflected in the final post processed photos. I can't tell you how happy our family is with the photos we've done with her. She also doesn't treat clients as just clients -- she always remembers details about each person that she works with. Details about their past photo shoot(s) and things about their lives too, which makes for a warm and inviting relationship. read more

Cassandra is a great photographer, and an even nicer person! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her for our family photos. She accommodated our schedules and desired location, got there early to scope out potential backgrounds for our photos, and was extremely patient with our 1-1/2 year old daughter (and us) throughout our session. In our hour session we took pictures in a few different areas, and it was nice to have photos with different backgrounds, almost as if we were at different venues. We were able to see a couple of edited preview images almost immediately and we received about 40 digital images a little over a week later. It was so hard to pick the best ones for our holiday card, because we liked so many of them! I will definitely call Cassandra again and would recommend Cassema Photography to anyone! read more

We did a cake smash for my daughter's 1st Birthday and we are in love with the way her photos came out. She emailed us beforehand to see what kind of theme and what we needed to bring. She brought my vision to life and my girl loved it. She's great with kids. We cannot wait to come back again for my second babygirl. read more

From choosing the setting and time (to match our desired mood and natural light) and selecting the right backgrounds to capturing and delivering final images, Cassie was on point. She made our family (our girls are 2 and 4 years old) feel calm, happy and comfortable, which resulted in beautiful expressions and images. The family portraits she created for us are so special and we will enjoy them for years to come! read more

I loved my shoot! I was a bit nervous since this was my first boudoir shoot, but cassie made me feel comfortable right away! She is all about trying to make you happy and feel beautiful:) I will be going back in the future read more

Cassie is a sweetheart! She's also very talented. She was very patient with our one year old for his cake smash session. She's accommodating and still professional. I highly recommend her for your next photoshoot, especially if it involves kids. She's great with the little ones! Her studio is so cute, it had all the right touches to keep babies and kids as comfortable as possible. read more

We booked our photo session with Cassie about 3 weeks ago. The communication was great. She worked with me to come up with a good date and time because both my husband and my schedules are very hectic. She did everything to accommodate. Once we arrived to the photo shoot she greeted us with a hug. She was so attentive with the kids which is very hard to do with a 3 and 2 year old running about at the park. But she grabbed some great photos of them just being kids. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos. I will be using her again. If you are ever looking for a photographer you have to choose her she is awesome and the prices are great for quality pictures. read more

My wife and I hired Cassie to shoot our engagement photos last year. We traveled from Sacramento to have a session done in the amazing setting of Coronado Beach! When we arrived for our shoot, Cassie was very friendly and excited to get started. She had a lot of ideas that covered the spectrum of traditional portraits, cute and playful, candid and action, and of course romantic poses. She was able to easily brake down the mild nerves that come when getting your photos taken -- especially by a professional. She made it a very comfortable experience. She toured us around the entire area while capturing images of us the entire time, including pictures of us around the world famous Hotel del Coronado and ending the photo session with some beautiful sunset images of us on the beach. If I could describe the experience in three words it would be "fun and professional." When we received the images from the shoot, we were amazed at the quality and creativity involved with the entire process. We were so impressed, we booked her to shoot our wedding portraits in Las Vegas after our wedding in February. Again, she delivered the look and feel of imagery we expected as well as making that part of planning and executing our wedding portraits a cinch! We will definitely be keeping Cassie in mind for any photo opportunities we come across in the future. Five stars, and my wife and I highly recommend her for any of your portrait needs! read more

We are so so grateful that we found Cassie to capture and create beautiful memories of our family. Her patience with my family and ability to get everyone relaxed and full of smiles is truly remarkable, combined with her incredible talent behind the camera lens and sheer talent and dedication for touching up and fine tuning the photos afterwards - wow, wow. This year, coming from a year of social isolation, my kids (1 and 3) were NOT used to new people - I was nervous, but I hardly had any decent pictures of them both together, and knew Cassie would be up for the challenge. Through her calm, kind, and fun demeanor Cassie had them BOTH naturally smiling, laughing, and comfortable in a couple of minutes which in turn, had my husband and I relaxed and happy -- and it truly (!!) shows in the pictures. We had such a blast at our session with her, so much so that my 3 year old was asking about Cassie for days afterwards! We had such a hard time choosing what to frame, because our ENTIRE gallery was amazing and gorgeous, each photo a piece of art (how often can you say that with two little kids!?). Cassie is truly an artist, and an incredibly charismatic bubbly person - with both together, she captured gorgeous memories that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you Cassie - we can't wait for next year!! read more

We absolutely loved working with Cassandra and will recommend her without any hesitation. Cassandra capture the most beautiful newborn photos of our daughter when she was only two weeks old. The entire process working with her was seamless. She also came to our home, which it was something that we highly appreciated with a newborn. Cassandra was extremely professional, patient and did not make us feel rushed throughout the entire photo shoot. The quality of the photos were excellent! We were so happy with the end product and are looking forward to utilizing Cassandra again for future photo shoots of our little bundle of joy. We are so glad we found Cassandra. read more

We found Cassema Photography through a Facebook group I belong to. We were easily able to schedule a newborn photo session on short notice. Cassandra showed up with everything to make mini photo studio which ultimately produced super high quality beautiful photos! She was very professional and asked questions to help personalize the photo session, e.g. what is the theme of the nursery, favorite sport, favorite animal, etc. When we told her we had a Peter Rabbit theme, she actually knitted a cute bunny ears bonnet for our baby boy to wear in the photos. So sweet! Cassandra was so patient with our fussy little boy and was a true pleasure to work with. The turnaround time on getting the photos was also great. We highly recommend her for your family photo needs! read more

I made a last minute appointment with Cassandra. I was desperate for a spot anywhere for my 6 months old milestone shoot. Someone referred her on a Facebook post and she was so quick to help me. Luckily she has a last minute cancellation for the time I was looking for. She has a cute quaint little studio in an easy to find Poway community off the freeway. She had many outfits to chose from as well as props and back drops. She was very good with my busy she was making my 6mo girl smile a lot! Sure she was fussy but Cassandra was also patient and willing to help. Loved going to her I definitely will be seeing her again! read more

My wife booked Cassie for our family reunion. We also did shots of just us, and each individual family. She was so professional, knew exactly what she was doing, and how to get 40 people to cooperate! She's great with kids, even babies! Getting smiles out of each one, including my grumpy 17 month old. To top it off, her prices are awesome, and she offers packages. We will be using her next month for Christmas photos, and in the spring for birthday photos. We love her! read more
