CASS STONE (she/her)
FOUNDER & Creative Director of C.Mae Photography
Hi, I’m Cass Stone — founder and creative director of C.Mae Photography, based in the charming beauty of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and traveling wherever love, art, and curiosity takes me. I specialize in luxury wedding photography, empowering boudoir, and emotional portrait storytelling that’s deeply personal and elegantly timeless.
My creative roots run deep. I studied graphic design at the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago, and my love for intentional composition, color, and visual storytelling naturally evolved into a photography career that now spans over a decade. Today, C.Mae Photography is an award-winning, published brand that celebrates both artistry and connection — because I believe the best images are the ones that feel as good as they look.
But beyond the camera, I’m someone who values a life intentionally-lived: quiet mornings with coffee in hand, hiking local trails or paddle boarding on a still lake, spontaneous travel, and slow evenings spent laughing with the people who mean the most to me. I share my home (and heart) with my beloved partner and pit bull. I never pass up a chance to grab a latte and catch up with friends. I believe in presence, intention, and making people feel truly seen — values that guide everything I do, personally and professionally.
At C.Mae Photography, we’re here to tell your story — not just through beautiful images, but through an experience grounded in trust, artistry, and heart. Whether you're planning a luxury wedding weekend, celebrating your body with boudoir, or documenting your next chapter, we’re honored to capture it all with care.
Let’s create something meaningful — together.

Morgan (she/her)
Heirloom Family Photographer

Morgan’s connection to C.Mae Photography runs deep. Long before she joined the team, she was a client herself — trusting C.Mae to document her own engagement, wedding, and maternity journey. That firsthand experience shaped her understanding of just how meaningful it is to preserve life’s fleeting seasons. Now, she brings that same sense of reverence and joy to the families she photographs.
As a mother of two, Morgan knows how quickly moments pass — the crinkle of a newborn’s smile, the way a child lights up when they look at their parent, or the quiet, loving glance between two people building a life together. Her sessions are relaxed, connection-focused, and full of intention, resulting in heirloom-quality images that families will cherish for generations.
