Every other Friday we feature a favorite member of the @runwild.mychild Instagram community and give you a little sneak peek of the inspiration and motivation behind the pretty pictures. Today, we’re featuring the absolutely amazing Murielle Cascone (@muriellecascone), a New York mom and family photographer. I’ve fallen in love with the beautiful simplicity of Murielle’s gorgeous photos. The incredible light, the pops of color, the creative focus, and all the dreamy bokeh make me swoon. Here’s a little bit more about Murielle in her own words…
Favorite place to photograph your kids?
I love water and light! Some of my favorite places to take photos are at the beach and in the pool. I also love parks with beautiful trees, a body of water and a playground for my daughter to have fun in the end.
Describe your photography style & Instagram feed
Gosh, I often think I’m all over the place. I love to shoot portraits, document my daughter’s different activities and also nature. I can have moody shots as well as happy ones, colors and black and whites. It really depends for me. I also shoot when I can, due to my very limited schedule. When I have time, I go for full-sun and golden hour. Golden hour is definitely my favorite type of light to shoot in.
What would people not realize about you from only seeing your Instagram photos?
I’m not just a photographer; I also have a full-time job that I commute to for a total of four hours a day. Mainly, I shoot for fun on weekends and post different photos from that series. I also moderate a hub, the Unraveled Academy FB group, and have a part-time photography business. And if that wasn’t enough, I’m also currently writing a photography course for Unraveled Academy and taking a federal tax class online! My life is crazy!
List three bucket list destinations you’re dying to see?
- Africa
- Hawaii
- Australia
What’s in your camera bag and what do you use most often?
My 24-70mm L f2.8, 85mm L f1.4 and Lensbaby Sol 45 lenses. I try to use all three at different points in my adventure if I can, but the 24-70mm is the most versatile lens, which allows me to also capture the sky.
How do you educate yourself to take better pictures?
I think now more than ever, there’s so much information out there about anything on the internet, photography included. That is how I start with photography; googling and YouTubing things. In addition, I love taking online photography courses. I just love to learn; there’s always something new to learn in my opinion.
Lessons learned from outdoor adventures?
When adventuring with kids, always bring snacks, a potty, and take breaks. Don’t try to do too much in one day!

i reckon kids make their own context for a good photo. That’s part of what’s so cool about them.
