Hello! I’m Laraya, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself. My passion for photography drives me to capture the big moments in people’s lives, and I’ve been immersed in this world since high school. Together with my husband, Kyle, we launched Laraya Cassandra Photography in July 2019, shortly after tying the knot. We’ve had the privilege of photographing over 50 couples across Missouri and Illinois, and our commitment to our business continues to grow. We strive to be not just your photographers but also your friends, building lasting relationships with all our clients. Family means the world to me. Kyle and I have been happily married for over five years, and we’re thrilled to be welcoming our little one in December 2024. We also share our home with two energetic doodles who keep us on our toes! When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying adventures, indulging in Chick-fil-A, or watching a good Marvel movie. My faith is an important part of my life, guiding me in everything I do, and I strive to let it shine through my work. With each new day, I feel blessed and ready to tackle the next learning experience. I hope my clients can see the passion and love in my photography!
