New Name, Same Thing

Kekasmai (kay-cass-may) is the Greek word for "to shine" it is also one of the words my name Cassandra is derived from. In "looking" for a new name i knew i wanted something different, greek, and meaningful. Because of my Greek heritage i wanted to bring that into the name of my business. I also didn't want to just pick a random Greek word. I thought about Diacogiannis Photography, but that didn't fulfill the meaningful( i don't know the meaning) side of things, and i'm planning on getting married someday, so it would have to change again.

One of my goals as a person and as a photographer is to shine the light of Christ into and through my life and work. When i found out that my name is derived from a word that means "to shine" it was an automatic SMILE on my face and thought in my head as a name for my photography business. Nothing else about my business has changed; i still take pictures of all the same things, i'm not biased by the fact if you are greek or not and i am still learning and growing as a photographer.

feel free to shoot me an email if you have questions, comments or want me to take pics of your event!!!!!

Shining for HIM,
Cassie Diacogiannis
