Cassie Schmidt -

Leslie Nice

I did a strategy session with Cassie for my photography website. I needed fresh eyes and a new perspective. I enjoyed every step of working with her. I can't believe how much of a difference the session has made for my website but also in my confidence in my business. She truly exceeded every expectation. Cassie is smart, relatable, and inspired. I am really excited to take her client experience course next. In our time together, we worked on so much and yet I feel like I only tapped the surface of her knowledge. Looking forward to continue working with her on all things business.

Hands down, Cassie was the best business investment I've ever made (and probably will ever make)! I went into coaching working with clients in a niche that I didn't love, working 50 and 60 hours a week (easily), working nights and weekends, and charging way less than I should have. I felt like my head was underwater, and my hands were in the air waving for help. And more than anything, I just didn't know where to start with getting everything under control.

But that's what made Cassie so amazing. She walked onto the scene, took a great assessment (through her in-depth questionnaire to start with and our initial strategy call), and immediately sprung into action with me. From day one, I realized one thing: Nobody loves my business more than me, but Cassie is an extremely close second. She put so much of her heart and soul, her time and effort into my business alongside me - and that's something I don't think every coach can say about their clients. It's certainly true for Cassie, though! I laid out about 7 different goals that I wanted to accomplish, and dang if we didn't meet every single one! And in the end, I walked away from coaching with an increase in pricing and an overhaul of all of my services so I'm not overworking myself (and I'm still making money!). I'm walking away with confidence and clarity in who my ideal client is. And I'm walking away knowing that I will always have someone in my corner, even though coaching is over. And I think that's one of the best parts of having invested in Cassie!

How can I even sum up my experience with Cassie? From the moment I stumbled across her Instagram to every meeting, voice text, and celebratory meme, every moment hanging out with her as been fun, supportive, and collaborative. Before I started working with Cassie, I was booking very few clients, despite having plenty of inquiries. It left me feeling defeated, confused, and like I might not be cut out for this business after all.

Cassie poured over my website, my inquiry process, my resources, and my analytics to diagnose the things that were causing my low booking rate - then we worked together to fix them in a way that was true to me, my values, and the way that I wanted to make people feel. My booking rate has tripled as a result! Cassie has a talent for challenging your perspective without making you feel pushed or pressured into anything.

Maybe most importantly, she was the ultimate hype woman through the whole experience! Cassie truly cares about her client-friends and she desperately wants you to succeed - almost as much as you want to be successful! My business and my heart have been transformed by my first coaching experience with Cassie. She will continue to be a valued friend and occasional teammate forever!

Cassie is AMAZING! Whether she is your business coach or photographer, she always has valuable & tangible information to help you take your business to the next level. During our personal branding photoshoot, Cassie was my personal cheerleader! She constantly made me laugh and more importantly, she made you feel comfortable & confident in front of her camera. And my photos turned out AMAZING! She always goes above and beyond for her clients even after the session is over. I can not wait to work with Cassie again!

Cassie is the absolute best at what she does. I entered business coaching scared, not confident in what I had to offer and even less confident with HOW to get clients to trust me and my business. After only one month of coaching with Cassie, I am now more confident in who I am as a business owner, how to show up for my clients and how to succeed going forward in my business! It was a truly incredible experience. She not only cares about the business side of coaching but also gets to know her clients as people and is a personal cheerleader for business and personal goals. Cassie is a genuinely kind person who truly wants to see others succeed. I would recommend her to any small business owner!

I genuinely can't say enough good things about Cassie, both as a photographer and as a person. She was an absolute joy to work with! As someone that's generally uncomfortable being photographed, Cassie did a great job pulling me out of my shell and making the experience so fun!

For my brand photoshoot, I especially loved how she got to know my business ahead of time and did a really great job incorporating the colors, style, and personality of my brand.

I thought she was incredible at the shoot, then I received the photos and I was even more blown away. She's an amazing brand photographer and all the photos were stunning! I get compliments on them all the time!

Cassie is a gem, I can't wait to work with her again!

I loved working with Cassie! I loved her strong work ethic and that she wasn't transactional. Two things I look for when hiring anyone. She was responsive to every single email and text I sent. She always provided helpful and knowledgeable responses all while cheering me on. Her caring and genuine nature confirmed that I made the right decision in choosing her. I came to Cassie with specific goals and we covered each of them resulting in a mindset shift, making me feel more confident in running my business. I was quite sad during our last call b/c I didn't want it to end but I know I have a lifelong friend in Cassie. She cares for her clients even after the work is done. If you are looking for a business coach but hesitate because you are just not sure what to expect, you will not regret hiring Cassie!

Summarizing the amount of respect and gratitude I have for Cassie into one review seems impossible. Working with her was such a valuable experience that not only instilled more confidence in me, but also left me better equipped with a strategy to continue building a business I love. She offered honesty and transparency, paired with a genuine love and enthusiasm for my work. What I appreciated most about our time together was her unconditional support. Monthly coaching is kind of like routinely meeting with your best friend who hypes up all your ideas, only better becuase she has the tools to actually help make those a reality. Participating in 1:1 coaching with Cassie was one of the single best investments of my time and money. I've found clarity, strategy, and a lifelong cheerleader.
