Maureen is the BOMB!! We chose her to be our wedding photographer after we saw she had a lot of experience working with mixed race couples. We could have never anticipated the level of professionalism and kindness that we would receive by working with her. From the engagement shoot to the wedding itself, she made us feel like super models. She was able to help us work with a local library to get some unique photos when we wanted something different, went overtime to catch the sunset for some fantastic silhouette photos, and drove us to our wedding day of when we were in a rush to get to the venue. Our engagement photos were absolutely stunning, and I cannot wait to see the results of the wedding itself. If you're considering working with Maureen, do yourself a favor. Stop thinking and reach out NOW! Thank you for everything Maureen read more

Maureen, is a not only a professional, a kid whisperer, an artist. But after dealing with my family, in laws and kids she may be a saint. Maureen understands backgrounds, lights, shadows, good sides, placement, cranky children and (thank God) has an amazing sense of humor. No of us wanted to be there, Kids wanted to be playing, Uncles drinking, but grandma wanted her family picture. So we showed up begrudgingly but thanks to Maureen, we had a great time and by the time it was over. None of us wanted it to end and we all felt like professional models. read more

I recently had a boudoir shoot with Maureen and cannot sing her praises enough! When I first booked the shoot, she really took an interest in my personal reasons for having the photos taken and sent me a lot of information about what to expect, what to wear, etc. I was a little nervous going in, but she was so personable that my nerves faded away instantly. The shoot ended up being so much fun! Maureen was so professional and encouraging throughout the entire experience. Her studio was comfortable, private and had lots of good options for posing and photos. All of the photos were sent to me for review very shortly after the shoot, so I didn't have to wait long to pick my favorites. It was hard to chose my favorites, as they were all absolutely beautiful. She is a magician behind the camera and created an album that I will absolutely treasure forever. Incredible experience overall, HIGHLY recommended! read more

My review on here is very late, and it is no reflection of Maureen, only of the whirlwind of events (death in the family) that I found myself in the last few months. For Christmas 2020, I wanted to get my partner a gift certificate for an engagement photo session as we had just gotten engaged in November. I searched through the websites & work of several local photographers and Maureen's portfolio was my absolute favorite. It blew me away. Her photos were full of life and joy, they were beautiful, and the engagement pictures especially captured the love between the couples-- I couldn't wait to work with Maureen to capture such images of my partner and I. We scheduled our session in October 2021. It was an overcast, slightly rainy/misty day and we met Maureen at Tenney park, one of the prettiest parks in all of Madison for those who haven't been there. Maureen is lovely. She radiates joy and enthusiasm and kindness. I always feel a little bit shy and awkward about pictures but it was pretty quickly overcome with how much fun we were having with Maureen. We were laughing and joking and all of the cuddles and cuteness were encouraged. I have attached one of our absolute favorite photos where a team of ducks kept following us around hoping to get fed and they followed us right into the perfect photo shot. After the engagement photos, we had an add-on of portraits to be taken for my partner but while we waited on a uniform change for him, Maureen took some gorgeous portraits of me as well. She went above and beyond and this review can not even capture how much I appreciated her and what a wonderful job she did. We had our photos back in a couple weeks and I thanked her endlessly but honestly, I can't wait to work with Maureen again. I definitely want to do a boudoir shoot with her, possibly later this year. I want to do some family pictures at some point and I can't wait to call on Maureen to do them. For as long as she's in the business, I will definitely be a loyal customer!! If you're looking for a local photographer, look no further, you have found the one!! read more

If you are considering Maureen Cassidy Photography and you are engulfed in research and reading every review you can find, stop right now. The reviews are all correct. She is as good, actually better, than all the reviews say. From the moment I met Maureen through email I knew she was topnotch. Super responsive to messages and willing to provide detailed answers to all of my questions, I knew she was my girl. Upon getting to meet her I was blown away by this pint sized dynamo, her energy fills the room and warms your heart instantly putting one at ease. I contacted Maureen with interest in boudoir photos. She delivered in a way that I am certain no one else can. The experience from start to finish was more than I could have imagined. I was instantly comfortable in her presence and made to feel completely at ease as she photographed me in all states of undress. The session felt like a mix between the best slumber party ever and an evening with your long lost best friend. She worked with me to find poses that I felt confident in and coached me flawlessly to get the best possible shot. I was even more surprised when I received my photo gallery a week earlier than promised and couldn't stop looking at my photos as in stopping at red lights to sneak one more peek. She was able to make me look beautiful in the photos without looking airbrushed, retouched, or filtered in that sad unnatural way that can happen. The photos were real and very much me, just in the most glorious possible way. I do not fit the typical lingerie model body type and Maureen worked with me to make every picture gorgeous without hiding a thing. Book a boudoir session for yourself. Book one because you want to give photos to your partner. Book one because Maureen is an amazingly good time and an incredible soul. Book one because you will feel incredible about yourself from the minute you start the experience. Just book one now. Stop reading. Do it now. I will sell a kidney if I have to so that I can continue to have Maureen Cassidy photograph all of my life events. I am so fortunate that I stumbled upon her incredible talent. Now, book the session. read more
