I'm Cassandra,
Photographer and Founder of Jolie & Rae Photography.
My work is rooted in a lifelong connection to the camera. I was raised by photographers and grew up around weddings, portraits, and the rhythm of documenting real life. Over time, I stepped into my own path built on experience, instinct, and a deep respect for the people I photograph.
Jolie comes from my last name, Boisjolie, which means “pretty woods” in French. Rae honors my grandmother, who went back to school in her 70s and always encouraged us to follow our dreams. Together, the name reflects legacy, strength, and the beauty found in everyday moments.
Whether you're getting married, marking a milestone, or simply want to feel seen, this work is about making it meaningful for years to come.
My Approach
I believe photography works best when it’s thoughtful, calm, and personal. I guide you through each session with gentle direction but never force a pose that doesn’t feel like you. My editing is subtle and clean, designed to keep your photos feeling natural and true. Every step is focused on helping you feel comfortable, seen, and proud of the final result.
Honest & Lasting
Images are created with care so they still feel meaningful years from now.
Intentional & Calm
Guided posing, gentle direction, and room to be yourself.
Polished but Natural
Your images are refined with care, never overdone. I keep the colors true and the edits subtle, so you still feel like you.
I approach every session with care and collaboration. You’ll receive gentle, guided posing that takes the pressure off while still looking natural. I listen closely to your ideas and any concerns you bring to the table, whether they’re about angles, outfits, or something more personal. This is a space where your comfort matters, and your voice is part of the process from start to finish.
Whether it’s your wedding day, graduation, or a personal portrait, my goal is the same—so you walk away feeling seen, confident, and proud of the experience we created together. Every image is shaped by your story and refined with intention, preserving not just how things looked but how they felt. I’m here for the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between.
