caspix photography bio picture

Hi! I'm Casandra. I'm a professional creative lifestyle photographer in Sydney, Australia.

Is it a blog? is it a website? Actually it's a blogsite with both combined. Its the best way to keep my current work updated and all in one place. Please click on my portfolio and choose a category to view my latest work, or just scroll.

Photography is my absolute passion, to make the ordinary look extraordinary, the conventional look unconventional, to celebrate the colour of life and the playfulness of love, in all its forms. My work is best described as Creative Lifestyle.... emotive, natural and candid. I am available for Weddings, Fashion and Custom Portraiture.

I take photos almost every day, so this blogsite is to share them and get feedback. I want to hear from you, so leave comments! I will also showcase client sneak peaks and slideshows.

If you are interested in wedding, fashion shoots or portrait photography and would like to get in contact, you can send an email to caspix[at]mac.com or 0404 842410. Get inspired!

      So gorgeous! this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sit down to computer, just started playing with my shots. These are so pretty, isn’t she a dolly. I had a great day, but yes, exhausting, my kids are still recovering, we had a birthday that night that went to midnight too! crazy! Can’t wait to see more from the day….

    Wow, I won the Centro Smile Photography Competition!

    October 7, 2008 – 5:57 pm

    I have had an amazing time with my photography in the last 6 months, it feels like it is soaring to new heights and is very exciting. I was a finalist with Shoot the Chef 2008 and now I am the national winner for the Centro Smile Photography Competition!

    I beat 44,000 entries across Australia to take out the $10,000 prize, very happy with that indeed! I also won a small point and shoot camera with a printer. Here is a photo below (thanks to Chantelle) with my big fake cheque and my boys are holding the winning photo… whilst my daughter already has her hands on the camera I won as well and I am not sure I will be able to wrestle it off her now :)

    And now you are nearly 4

    September 27, 2008 – 5:49 pm

    My gorgeous little boy is just about to turn 4! He was 6 weeks premature and finally seems to have caught up in height and weight although he is always on the smaller side.

    He is our little peanut and just the cutest little boy. Turning 4 is such a milestone in this family, so different to 3 and just so grown up. He has been telling everyone he is 4 for like the last 2 months, he just can’t wait!

    We love you Peanut!

    Learning how to blow bubbles | Sydney Portrait Photographer

    September 24, 2008 – 4:31 pm

    I remember the first time I blew bubbles as a child, and I am hoping my daughter remembers this time as well. There were a few hits and misses in the beginning, but she pretty much got it straight away….. ahh the simple joys of childhood :)

    Shoot the Chef 2008 | Sydney Portrait Photographer

    September 23, 2008 – 5:07 pm

    Well I didn’t win :) but the dinner last night was fabulous. It was great to meet so many other fantastic photographers and be part of something that had such a great energy to it. It was a real high to see my photo up in lights amongst so many others that were fantastic as well. You can view the photo that I submitted here and the rest of the shoot here.

    You can see the winner and other finalists in this Shoot the Chef Slideshow 2008 - my picture is the 2nd one that comes on display after the Caviar face (how creepy is that photo!)

    Thanks for all the people that wished me luck as well, it was really appreciated!

    1. Katie   -  

      Too bad Cass. It’s great to see the other finalists, some truly amazing shots in there, and yours really stands out of the crowd.

    2. Penny Smith   -  

      Bummer Cass, which photo won? The Caviar Face? Some amazing photos in there, and yours was one of the best. When I saw the one of the chefs sitting at the table in the snowy street, I just knew it was taken in Orange (where I live), can’t pinpoint exactly where though…haha.

    A stream train ride through the mountains

    September 23, 2008 – 12:01 am

    We recently spent a lovely weekend with some good friends in the mountains…. here are a few snaps that I love. There were 6 kids all together for the weekend and they had ball! The train carriage filled with this golden light from the setting sun towards the end, it was magic!

      I got a lump in my throat looking at these. As usual, spectacular photography Cass, but I must add that the subjects are to die for. Gorgeous, gorgeous children. xxx

    2. Cathy Crawley   -  

      I did this train ride in April with my family!

    Trip to the big city | Sydney Portrait Photographer

    September 21, 2008 – 10:42 pm

    Look at these beautiful children visiting from Brisbane… I just couldn’t get enough of their baby brown eyes! These sweet sisters were happy to play up to the camera which always makes it heaps of fun! And little boys and sticks, what can I say! The only way I could get this little man to look at the camera was to ask him to show me his sticks :)

    Hope you guys enjoyed your time in the big city and hope to see you down here again! xx
