Hiya!
There have been some cool new followers on this page since the last time I introduced myself so I figured I’d make an updated post so you can see who you’re following along with!
My name is Casey! For the last (almost) 8 years, I’ve been a full-time dental hygienist during my days, clinical instructor of dental hygiene at night, and grad student. I stumbled into photography when life started feeling too busy and I needed to find a hobby I could retreat to. Little did I know it would turn into this🥹
Creativity has always been an outlet for me, but being able to create WITH and FOR people gave this whole thing a brand new meaning. If you’ve ever done a session with me, you know that I thrive being behind the camera making you feel special, seen, and loved. It was a humbling thought when I realized that I was turning moments of people’s lives into tangible memories they’d have forever.
When I’m not staring at teeth, teaching students, writing research papers and dissertations, or behind my camera, you can find me hanging with my dogs Macy & Maverick, coexisting/trying to snuggle with my cat Dobby (to him, my husband is the only one who exists or is worthy of his attention), or with my hubs Dan! Some of my favorite things include reading, thrifting, decorating and hosting, Harry Potter, the color pink, and Noah Kahan.
I’d describe my photography style as documentary/nostalgia - capturing life exactly as it’s happening, not in a way that’s forced or posed for. Some of the sweetest pictures I’ve ever gotten include tears on a dad’s face during a first dance with his daughter even though he tried for hours that whole day to not let them fall, and words that seemingly flew out of a vow booklet as the bride turned the pages to read her most vulnerable love letter to her husband. Those things can’t be artificially created. That is real life happening in fleeting moments. Moments that I’m so thankful I get to seize.
My philosophy with photography is really simple - the ordinary stuff matters. You don’t have to apologize for kids crying or having dirt on their feet. You don’t have to apologize for not understanding a prompt and laughing with your partner instead. You don’t have to force laughs or stare into my camera unsure of what to do. Be you, let the moments happen. I promise they’re beautiful exactly how they are - chaotic, honest, ordinary.
If you’re thinking of booking with me, I’d love to hear from you and start documenting your story. From “just because” photos all the way to weddings and everything in between, I’d be so happy to hear your ideas and work together to capture your moments in a way that is so uniquely you🫶🏼🎞️📸
Talk so soon,
Casey🤎
