The Redstone Team equation:
Cass (visionary & prolific) + Jess (detailed & precise) = The Perfect Package
The Team
"I've heard people call us the dynamic duo, and find that Cass & Jess often becomes one word. Working together side by side for over 10 years we can easily finish each other's sentences - and ideas, and sometimes use our own language. We were recently shooting on location and a client smiling, pointed out - "Do you realize she just asked you to find the thing - and you ran into the other room without any need for clarification and brought back the right thing? Amazing!"
- according to Jess
Recent Clients - Sea-Tac Airport, Toyota United Cycling, Seattle Children's Hospital, Top Pot Doughnuts & Starbucks.
Their work has appeared in - Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, Sunset magazine, Bicycling Magazine, The Seattle Times & Alaska Airlines Magazine.
Cass, lead photographer
"The first thing you'll notice about Cass is her almost contagious enthusiasm. She has a bubbly, charming personality that allows her to make anyone around her feel comfortable. She has a truly artistic and cinematic eye but it's really her uncanny knack for making people relax, laugh and actually enjoy the photographic process that makes her unique. I've been on shoots with her and heard time and again from clients that they couldn't believe how much fun they had."
- according to Jess
Favorite treats - truffle popcorn, jelly bellies & espresso (not all in one sitting)
People I want to meet - Sean Penn, Annie Liebowitz (lunch this time), Dave Mathews & Barak Obama.
Dream Job - To shoot the cover portrait for Vanity Fair.
Jess, studio manager & photographer
"Jess really is the perfect balance for my prolific visionary style. Jess is incredible at cutting to the chase to see what is really working. Down to earth, incredibly detail oriented and intelligent. She's great at capturing the details, sees what's missing, and puts the finishing touches on all the images to make them pop. She takes our raw work and edits into a tightly woven story - with impact and inspiration." - according to Cass
Places I can't Wait to Visit - Bhutan (who knew it was the happiest country on earth?), Turkey (snorkeling over ancient Roman ruins), Colombia (I think Cartagna is going to be the next hot spot).
Four favorite dining experiences - Departure (Portland, OR), 1884 (Mendoza, Argentina), Cork Wine Bar (Washington, D.C.), Ubuntu (Napa, CA)
New project - Co-founder of Boomerang, Seattle's Mid-Century Modern Home Tour, coming June 2010.
Bella, client relations specialist
"Bella, the infamous puggle pup, is hands down the cutest dog I've ever seen - and that's not just because I'm incredibly biased! She loves it when people come into the studio and insists on greeting everyone with a warm and excited ‘Hello'. We did a shoot in here for Children's Hospital a few years back with a super shy toddler - who wouldn't look at anyone but the puggle. So, we held Bella up next to the camera to get the shot - the little girl smiled and called out ‘kitty'."
- according to Cass
Favorite treats - Peanut Butter Kongs & "Frosty Paws"
Favorite dining experience - Snatching an entire hotdog at last summer's BBQ
