Hi, I’m Cassi, the photographer behind Stages Photography.

For more than a decade, I devoted myself to teaching high school students — a role that shaped me in countless ways. I poured my heart into mentoring, guiding, and encouraging young people, and I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to impact their lives. Now, with more time for creativity, I’ve returned to a passion that’s been part of my story for over twenty years: photography.

My specialty is candid, documentary-style event photography. I believe the most meaningful images come from capturing the moments in between — the laughter during a baby shower game, the quiet pride of a parent pinning a corsage before prom, the joy of friends celebrating a birthday. These are the real, unposed memories that tell the truest stories of our lives.

At Stages Photography, my focus is simple: Honest Images. Authentic Stories. No AI. Just Real Life. Whether indoors or outdoors, my goal is to create timeless images that allow you to relive the genuine moments of your event as they actually happened.

My family and I moved to Morrison Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona in the fall of 2024, and I’m proud to serve the East Valley — Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek. I’d love to connect with you and help preserve your milestones with images that feel as authentic and memorable as the moments themselves.
