I took Ashley's photos back in October as she was awaiting the arrival of her sweet baby girl, Annie. I absolutely love maternity photos for many reasons. I love that it is a time that you look so different from the rest of your life. I love it that something miraculous is growing within you. I love it that there is a mysteriousness about the photograph. I love it that someday the baby within you will want to stare at the photograph with wonder. But, most of all I love them because it represents life being lived to the fullest. No pun intended. So, here a few of my favorites of Ashley and her beautiful belly!
