Hello, I’m Cassie Moyer
With over 13 years of professional photography experience, I specialize in capturing the most cherished moments—from weddings, events, and adventure shoots to family and senior portraits. Formerly known as Cassie Clarkson Photography LLC, my passion is rooted in authentic storytelling and timeless imagery.
Based in the breathtaking Hocking Hills, Ohio, I leverage my intimate knowledge of the region’s scenic wonders to create sessions that blend artful composition with the raw beauty of nature. Every session is designed to let you feel comfortable, confident, and naturally radiant in front of the camera.
As an award-winning photojournalist, my work has graced the pages of prominent magazines, blogs, and websites. I take pride in mentoring emerging photographers and sharing the creative spirit and technical expertise that drive my work.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m a proud wife and devoted mother to a lively crew of humans, cats, and dogs. Life in Hocking Hills is a daily adventure—filled with peaceful hikes, inspiring landscapes, and the simple beauty of nature. My passions for yoga, dance, art, writing, and music continuously inspire my creative vision.
I'm also honored to contribute to my community as an employee of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and as a member of the advisory committee for the inspiHER Girls Leadership Foundation.
Let’s create something beautiful together!

I have been either an employee, intern, or volunteer for the Fairfield Area Humane Society, The Franklin County Dog Shelter, The Muskingum County Dog Shelter and countless small/private rescue organizations. I have volunteered both as a Registered Veterinary Technician (my profession prior to starting my business) and a photographer promoting adoptions.
