Behind Casie's Camera


Hi! And welcome to my photog-blog! My name is Casie Lee Dekker and, yes, I do know the proper way to spell photography. :) I have had a camera in my hands since I was in high school and have been developing my love and passion for photography ever since. I don't really call this my job because can you call it a "job" when you feel so excited to get to go to work?

I am an old school teacher turned stay at home mom to three kiddos: two boys that are constantly entertaining each other as well as me during the day and now our little princess. My husband is a family doctor for our little home town of Delta, Utah. And I'm so grateful for the technology that allows me to instantly snap and capture our daily precious moments together as well as the milestones.

My passion for pursuing my photography skills for others was heightened over twelve years ago when I married my best friend. On the happiest day of my life when I wanted precious shots to remind me of the best decision I ever made, I came up short when I saw the proofs. Tragic, I know. But that's when I vowed to one day help others capture the keepsakes they are looking for at an extremely competitive and affordable price! I remember what it was like to be budgeting every penny and not having money to get family pictures done or to document our newest baby, so my prices are as low as I can keep them in order to still stay in business. During our time together, I promise to stay with you until you feel comfortable that we got the shots you have envisioned. For efficiency, this leads to some fun conversations before our session together. And I also will let you pick out your own pictures for me to edit, if you feel inclined to do so. No one knows your children, your family, or your own personality like you do and my goal is to make sure you get that captured and preserved forever! I promise to work with you until we are all happy with the final result!

If I was forced to choose a photography specialty, I'd probably pick newborns because it is crazy hard and challenging work, but incredibly rewarding. I also love working with families, children, couples, high school seniors, businesses, etc. I LOVE doing a new genre of work that I've never done before. I love the challenge! I prefer to use natural light for my sessions. The photos just turn out so beautiful with natural light, but that doesn't limit us to only outside locations. Natural light can be found within doors as well and I can always bring my studio to you. I love doing all kinds of photo shoots, so don't hesitate to contact me! I look forward to working with you! It is truly an honor for me to be asked to preserve your memories!
