To date, I have photographed the beautiful Cassandra five times and I absolutely love it! Every shoot with her is fresh and wonderful. She has such a positive energy and my heart always feels lighter after our time together. Just talking with her makes me smile! Consider yourself lucky if you ever get to meet her. She is truly a gift to our world.

Cassandra was one of the lovely women who took part in my Boudoir Marathon. She thought it would be the perfect shoot to showcase and celebrate the pregnancy of her second child. I couldn’t agree more! I think women are absolutely gorgeous and deserve to be photographed in all stages of their life, pregnancy included. It’s a beautiful, natural part of life and it should be praised. What’s more glorious than bringing a new life into the world?

Cassandra explained it perfectly:
“It is a most selfless thing to not only share your body with another living soul but to surrender control of it completely. Motherhood is indeed one of life’s greatest gifts, but that of course comes at a price. For parts of oneself must be laid to rest in order to make way for new life.

No woman should be made to feel ashamed during this time, as if she needs to be hidden away. Our ever changing forms remind us of the true strength and power that we are capable of, because it is within our weakest moments that we discover that our greatness knows no bounds. With each struggle we face, we must find the courage within ourselves to persevere not only as individuals but as a whole.

From Maiden to Mother, Mother to Crone every stage of a woman’s existence should be glorified and honored to the highest regard.”

I love this classic vintage look we created for the shoot. Alissa Kristine provided all the professional hair and make-up and Cassandra brought all her pretty vintage pieces to wear.
