Eugene, Oregon maternity photographer: Cassi

Cassi came in for a maternity photography session last month. We had originally planned to do our pictures a bit earlier, but the snow and subsequent power outage forced us to reschedule. Luckily my power was only out for three days—I know many people went without power for much longer. I was thankful I only had to deal with it for a short time, not only for personal convenience, but because of my work as a Eugene, Oregon photographer. Studio photography just isn’t something you can do without electricity! Thankfully Cassi’s baby stayed put and we were able to get her in for a session once power was restored and the roads were navigable. 

This mom-to-be was looking absolutely gorgeous, as always. She is a beautiful woman inside and out. It was wonderful to see her in the studio again, and to see how big Christian has gotten! I photographed him as a newborn. It feels like only a few months ago but obviously it’s been a bit longer than that. He was adorable then and has grown into the cutest little boy. He did a great job during mom’s photo session. I’m so excited for Cassi and her family as they prepare to welcome another little one into their home. 

Cassi wanted to capture the feel of the maternity photos from when she was pregnant with her son, Christian, so we used the same dark wood backdrop and robe from that earlier session. (When Cassi brought that robe to her first maternity session I loved it so much that I went straight out and bought one to keep in my studio!) You can check out the photos from that session here and compare them. The images turned out beautifully, just as the earlier pictures had done. I thought it was a great idea to create a bit of an echo of that first maternity photography session for her second baby as well. 

We still had some time after we had gotten the pictures Cassi wanted, so I asked if she would be willing to do some shirtless photos with Christian. She was happy to let me play, and I love how those pictures of mama and son turned out. As a maternity photographer I always enjoy experimenting with new shots so I can have an ever-expanding variety of styles to offer my clients. I was glad Cassi was willing to let me play around a little during her session. 

I’m already looking forward to seeing the new baby in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio. It will probably be towards the end of this month or the beginning of May. Cassi chose not to find out the gender of her little one ahead of time, so I’m excited to find out if it’s a boy or a girl. Regardless of whether Christian gets a little brother or a little sister I’m sure baby will be beautiful! I’m so happy for Cassi and her family, and can’t wait to see them again very soon!
