I’m Cassie Bayer, a fine-art photographer and portrait artist based in North Augusta, South Carolina. My work centers on honoring the bond we share with our pets — whether through expressive pet photography or commissioned custom portraits created as lasting works of art.
I specialize in creating thoughtfully crafted imagery that goes beyond documentation, focusing instead on personality, presence, and connection. From contemporary pet photography to painterly custom portraits — along with the careful restoration of treasured photographs — each piece is created with intention and care.
My background in both photography and fine art allows me to approach each project with a refined, artist-led process, using professional materials designed for longevity. Whether preserving a treasured photograph or creating a portrait meant to be displayed for generations, my goal is always the same: to create meaningful artwork that endures.
Hybrid Fine-Art
A Hybrid Fine-Art Process
My work blends modern technology with traditional artistic craftsmanship. I use advanced digital tools as part of the creative process, then refine each portrait by hand in Photoshop with painterly decision-making, fine-art detail, and careful attention to likeness.
Select custom pieces are professionally printed on canvas and further enhanced with hand-applied acrylic embellishments, adding texture, depth, and a truly one-of-a-kind finish. The result is a timeless portrait that combines innovation with the care and intention of traditional art.
Each portrait is created not just to look beautiful, but to honor the bond you share with your pet.
