The Business of Cassandra Storm

The Business of Cassandra Storm Everyone takes pictures . . . we take your breath away. Instagram: TheRealCassandraStorm This year’s dance is April 16, 2016 and it is themed Under the Sea.

As you page through our website, you will find we service a variety of communities, clients and industries. Variety is the spice of life and we thrive on the diversity of the clients we serve. Our calendar is filled from January through December as we capture all levels of love and passion from behind the lens of our cameras. Our corporate clients share the passion for their products, services and

customers with a vivacious energy that we find absolutely magnetizing. We are drawn to their inspiration, passion and commitment as we help them build their brands with our photographs to reach new customers and new heights with their businesses. The brides and grooms that we meet each year have become a diary of love for our studio. With every new couple we get to celebrate a new love story and we celebrate their stories with luxury and style. Our commitment to serving our bridal couples through their entire wedding planning process with their wedding photography is as strong as the commitment we know they share for each other. The beauty of the relationships that we begin with our engaged couples continues on for years as we photograph all of the special milestones in their lives from their first anniversaries, boudoir sessions, newborn sessions and family portraits, as their families grow through the years. We are passionately dedicated to serving the LGBTQ Community with our cameras. Having photographed gay and lesbian commitment ceremonies years ago to legalized weddings today has become an unmatched emotional milestone for our studio. Our clients are welcomed with open and loving arms as we photograph their weddings, family portraits, adoption celebrations, boudoir sessions and special events like the Keystone Conference, an annual Transgender Conference in Harrisburg, PA. We are trusted photographers of an often times private clientele, especially in the transgender community, and we do not take that trust for granted. It is our pleasure to share in the lives of all of our LGBTQ clients and we look forward to years of serving the community down the road. Even with photographing weddings, creating unique commercial images and capturing the LGBTQ community, we still have time for our passion projects. We love to give back and each year we offer our services at discounted rates to various organizations and community events like the YMCA of York’s Daddy Daughter Dance. It is only one night a year but one of our most treasured events that we have photographed since 2007. Contact the YMCA of York for tickets and we hope to see you there! Though we are located in South Central Pennsylvania and largely service York, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Hershey and Gettysburg, we are globe trotters. We live to travel and will cross oceans and continents for your special moments and events. Contact us to learn more, we cannot wait to hear from you!

In 2013, the Chicago Sun-Times fired all 28 of its staff photographers. Every single one. Including a guy who'd won a Pulitzer.

The idea was simple, reporters would just shoot photos on their iPhones. Same camera, same tech, problem solved.

The photos were awful.

Not because the cameras were bad. Because the reporters didn't know how to see. They didn't understand light. They couldn't feel a moment before it arrived the way someone who'd trained their eye for 20 years could.

Within a year, the Sun-Times quietly started rehiring photographers.

This is the story of AI right now and nobody wants to say it out loud.

Everyone keeps saying AI is leveling the playing field. And yeah — the tools are available to everyone. That part's true. But the conclusion people draw from that, that the gap is shrinking, is dead wrong. The gap is getting wider.

Because the person who already has taste is using AI like a master chef uses a sharper knife. And the person without taste is just producing more slop, faster.

Same tool. Completely different output.

It’s uncomfortable because AI just killed every excuse. Can't write, can't code, can't design, can't afford a team? AI handles all of it. So now the only question left is the one people were hiding from the whole time: do you actually have something worth saying?

The test is stupidly simple. Look at something you made with AI. Did you make it better than what the tool gave you, or did you just hit publish?

That's the whole dividing line.

AI gave everyone the same camera. It didn't give everyone the same eye.

With such depraved displays of malignant narcissism coming from the nation's highest office on a regular basis, it's more important than ever for parents and educators to embrace the work of raising a generation that rejects cruelty as a form of strength.

That means naming cruelty when we see it -- not excusing it, not laughing it off, not pretending it's just politics. It means having honest conversations with our children: explaining why this is wrong, why we don't mock people in pain, why real confidence doesn't require tearing others down, why someone who uses a family's worst moment to congratulate himself is not strong -- he's an empty shell of a vindictive little man.

It means showing them, every day, that kindness and empathy are not weaknesses to outgrow but strengths to cultivate.

We become what we tolerate in our leaders. The question is what we're willing to teach the next generation to tolerate.

For those choosing to teach compassion over cruelty, our blog post "25 Children's Books That Teach Kids to Be Kind" offers a place to start: https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=19359

For a simple yet powerful picture book that reassures kids that the world is filled with helpful and friendly people -- and serves as a counterpoint to the darkness of these times -- we recommend "Most People" for ages 4 and up at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9780884485544 (Bookshop) and https://amzn.to/3wKwNzL (Amazon)
