ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Cassie,
I’m a photographer, horse trainer, seamstress, and lifelong lover of all things creative, western, and a little bit unconventional.
Much of my life has been spent around horses. Training them has taught me patience, trust, and how much can be communicated without saying a word. That same attention to the little things has found its way into everything else I do—whether I’m behind the camera capturing a moment or behind the sewing machine turning an idea into something completely unique.
Photography gives me the chance to freeze the moments that deserve to be remembered—the connection between a horse and rider, the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the dust, the movement, and all the beautifully imperfect pieces that tell the real story.
And when I’m not holding a camera or working with a horse, there’s a pretty good chance I’m creating something. Sewing is another outlet where I get to take an idea, add a little personality, and make something that didn’t exist before.
At the heart of it all, I’m a maker and a storyteller. Sometimes I tell those stories through photographs, sometimes through horses, and sometimes one stitch at a time.
I love work that feels personal, authentic, and made with intention—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
