From solo shooters to authentic storytellers...
What started as two friends with cameras and a love for capturing real, honest moments turned into something bigger than we ever imagined. Before Curse and Cass Photography, LLC became a business, it was just Kirsten ("Curse") and Cassandra ("Cass") - two photographers swapping referrals, cheering each other on from the sidelines, and sharing editing tips over coffee (or a good board game).
As we continued to support one another, we realized something important: our creative strengths, shared values, and friendship made us stronger together. So we took the leap - combining our talents and building a business rooted in connection, collaboration, and a shared vision to document love stories in a way that's intentional, artful, and deeply personal.
At Curse and Cass Photography, LLC we don't just show up to take pictures - we show up to celebrate you. Whether it's a golden-hour engagement session, a mountain elopement, or a joyful wedding day, we're here to honor your story with warmth, care, and a little bit of magic.
Let's make something beautiful together.
Kirsten Bassett / Owner and Photographer
📷 Meet Kirsten (Curse), one half of the duo behind Curse and Cass Photography, LLC!
Kirsten brings the magic and drive to our lens -- with experience capturing everything from intimate weddings and giggling grads to concert chaos and couples in love. Her talent lies in spotting those blink-and-you-miss-it moments and turning them into something timeless.
When she's not behind the camera, you'll probably find her:
⚽ coaching youth soccer
🏐 spiking volleyballs with friends
👏 or dominating a board game night (just don't challenge her in Codenames)
She's all about real connection -- both on and off camera -- and is passionate about helping people feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated.
Stay tuned to see her talent in action!
