Hi, I’m Cassie
YOUR CALVERT COUNTY PHOTOGRAPHER
Serving Calvert County, St. Mary’s County and families across greater Southern Maryland
Why Choose a Professional Newborn and Child Photographer?
You deserve a photographer who truly understands families—someone who knows how to capture the sweet, fleeting moments of childhood and the magic of welcoming a new baby. At Cassie Ackerson Photography, I specialize in newborn and child photography, and I know firsthand that little ones don’t always follow the plan (and that’s perfectly okay!). With a calm, patient approach and a session designed around your family’s needs, I make the experience feel easy and enjoyable. Together, we’ll create beautiful, high-quality images that celebrate your growing family and become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
In a world full of digital snapshots, I believe in creating art you can hold in your hands and proudly display on your walls.

Beyond the session itself, I believe your images deserve to live beyond a screen. I offer heirloom-quality prints and custom artwork designed to be displayed in your home—pieces that tell your family’s story and become part of your everyday life. These finished portraits aren’t just photographs; they’re meaningful keepsakes meant to be passed down, reminding your children that they are seen, loved, and valued every time they walk past them.
Beautiful Newborn Photography Designed for Growing Families in Southern Maryland
My in-home newborn sessions are thoughtfully designed to honor your baby’s earliest days in a way that feels natural and unhurried. By photographing your little one in the comfort of your home, I create a relaxed environment where your family can settle in while I focus on capturing the delicate details that make this season so special—tiny fingers and toes, soft stretches, gentle yawns, and those fleeting newborn expressions. These first moments pass quickly, and my goal is to preserve them through timeless, heartfelt portraits that your family will cherish for years to come.

Child Photographer in Southern Maryland Creating Heirloom Family Portraits
For older children, my sessions are centered on celebrating them exactly as they are in this moment. Their growing confidence, unique personalities, and natural curiosity guide each session, allowing space for genuine expression and connection. From quiet, thoughtful looks to bursts of laughter and the meaningful moments shared between siblings, I focus on capturing images that feel authentic and timeless. Together, we’ll create beautiful portraits that reflect your child’s spirit and the relationships that make your family truly one of a kind.

Every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for throughout their photography experience.
Based in Lusby, I am dedicated to creating a calm, welcoming environment where families can truly relax. Whether you’re planning an in-home photography session or a custom studio photoshoot, I work closely with you to design a personalized experience that reflects your family’s needs and vision—one that feels thoughtful, intentional, and unrushed.
When you’re ready to preserve the moments that matter most, I would be honored to help. Contact Cassie Ackerson Photography today to schedule your newborn or child photography session. Let’s create something beautiful together.
