Ashley + Jason | Frederick, MD Maternity Photographer

I'm loving all these sweet baby bumps I've been honored to photograph this year!  Maternity photography has, by far, become one of my favorite sessions to photograph.  I don't know if it's my own maternal instincts setting in, but I just love the excitement + sweetness that always seems to surround these sessions.

Ashley + Jason's session was no exception.  And to even further complete my happiness, they invited me to their (gorgeous!) home for a lifestyle based maternity session.  We used several areas in their home and property for their photos, which makes their session super personalized and unique to their family.

Just as I was finishing up editing their session yesterday, I learned they gave birth to their beautiful baby girl!  Congratulations to this incredible couple, I know they will be the best parents!!

 I couldn't get over how precious these little diapers were all folded up and waiting.

As much as I love winter sunlight, there is NOTHING like the summer sun.  And this was a little taste of it in April.

I first met Ashley through a mutual BFF of ours.  So this last image was a special request from her as she wanted a photo of her two close friends pregnant together. :)
