san antonio family photographer
helping you preserve the everyday beauty of each fleeting season as art you'll treasure for a lifetime
I'm a wife to an army man, mom to five awesome kiddos and two dogs, Jesus-follower, and photographer. Some of my favorite things are exploring our beautiful country with my family, camping, hiking, paddleboarding, reading, yoga and chocolate. We live in San Antonio, Texas and we love this little city.
I had a small photography business back before I had kids but ended up setting it aside when my husband joined the army. My second child had just come along and we were moving away from everything we knew...it was a season for me to just focus on my babies. Now, more than a decade later, those babies are much bigger and I have three more little ones (?!?) in the picture, but I missed doing this. I love that I've been able to throw the doors back open on this business and capture sweet moments for you to treasure for a lifetime.
Having two older kids and then doing the baby stage again really gave me perspective on how quickly they grow up and how short this parenting season of life is. It's also taught me about the kinds of photos that are the most meaningful to me, and that's what I want to offer to you as well.

Photos of my family by Sara Blanco
Day by day nothing changes,
I believe that photos are special, but that their real value comes long after they're taken. I want to take photos that are beautiful...but more importantly, I want to take photos that are meaningful. Photos that capture the mundane beauty of your life right now...and that you'll really treasure when they're all you have left of it. I have five kids: three little ones under four AND two young teens. I'm in the middle of the toddler chaos but I've also seen how fast the years with my big ones have flown by and am achingly aware of how few years I have left with them in my home...and how even though these baby days seem long, the years really aren't.
Kids grow up, people pass on. And we remember best what we have pictures of. You don't need just another pretty posed picture in a field. Let me show you the beauty I see in your life right now. In your kids, in your home, in your interactions. You don't need a perfect family or perfect home - I promise there's so much beauty in every family no matter the details. I want to document and preserve this season for you and help you get those pictures off your computer and into your home. Family is my specialty: from the first flutters of a new baby in your tummy, until you're celebrating their high school graduations. I love documenting all of it in a way that will be truly meaningful for you and your children for a lifetime.
That quote gets me every time, and it's the reason I do this.
but when you look back everything is different.
I absolutely loved working with Cassey for our photoshoot this spring! Scheduling was easy; Cassey was really responsive and helpful while I chose a date and type of session and she even helped make recommendations for outfits, which is sometimes the most stressful part! When we arrived to our location, she was there waiting for us and she really made us feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera. Our photos from that shoot are exactly what I wanted- I had scheduled a short session but somehow she fit in a lot of different poses and combinations of our family that I'm very happy with. The quality of the pictures, the lighting, and all- I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Cassey Golden Photography.

I have worked with lots of photographers over the years, and Cassey has by far been one of my absolute favorites for both her quality of work and being lovely to collaborate with. I have her photos she recently captured of my little crew displayed throughout my home and have received so many compliments from family and friends! I can’t wait to book with her again.

We absolutely loved working with Cassey for our Senior portraits! She was in communication with us all the way, picked an awesome location, knew exactly how to pose them for the perfect shot, was friendly, kind and professional. She spent quality time with our family ensuring we got everything we were hoping for and really made it a great experience. Most of all, the quality of the photos were amazing! So many great photos to chose from! I would definitely recommend her for your next photo session!
