The truth is that I'm not really that into maternity photo shoots, so I'm not sure I would have taken any except that they were wanted for my shower. But now I am SO glad we took a few. I mean, there will only be a few times in my life that I have a belly like this (or 10! We want to compete with the Duggars.) so it's fun to commemorate it through pictures. Also, Shirley is a great photographer (check out her site!) and of course the pictures turned out perfectly (shameless friend-flaunting: she specializes in newborns so if you're in the OKC area, check her out).
Happy Weekend, internet friends.
You're gorgeous! I love these. So, so pretty - and joyful!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a glowing, gorgeous momma! I love that dress on you!
ReplyDeletexo Always, Abby
These are beautiful! I've never had maternity pics taken.
ReplyDeleteCould you be any more adorable?? These are just so cute, and I'm glad your friend convinced you to do the photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are wonderful!! I know it's awkward to do maternity pics so I'm glad that your friend convinced you. Love your dress and I'm sure you'll always treasure these pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! You look lovely!

So.stinkin.cute.
ReplyDeleteThese are precious and you three look great :)
ReplyDeleteThese are GORGEOUS. Such a cute couple, and that is the absolute perfect dress for maternity photos - so chic and flattering. And how great you know someone who's a pro with newborn photos!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't so sure about this maternity photo shoot thing myself (my husband was even less sure, ha), but I'm glad we did them - we have so few nice photos of us as a couple, other than wedding/engagement shots, so it was fun to have a reason to take some around town at places that are special to us. Plus it really is nice to document that bump - it's a unique time in your life that really is short (even though it feels long at the time).
These are beautiful! You are gorgeous in them! I am really loving the black and white ones. You are going to be so happy you have these down the road. We took a few when I was pregnant and it is so nice to look back on them!
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job! These are beautiful and tasteful (I've seen too many maternity shoots reach uncomfortable levels). I'm sure you will always be happy to have these photos in the years to come.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
These are amazing! You look beautiful. I for one am glad you took them. I'm a total photo person though. So good!!

Wow! These are beautiful. You'll cherish these forever
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful! I absolutely love the ones where you are both sitting on the ground.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I'm glad that things worked out!! Once a colleague from undergrad offered to do my engagement photos, and then she wanted $100 for them. Oh, and most the photos were unusable because of lighting issues. But anyway. Thanks for sharing these with us :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, these photos are stunning! You are a beautiful pregnant mama, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I love maternity pictures, they are so sweet
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! You look great my friend.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I'm not really into maternity pics either, but if they are free... why not?! Just found your blog and I'm only a couple weeks behind you in pregnancy. :) Going to find you on Bloglovin' now!
ReplyDeleteSuch fantastic photos- you truly are glowing!
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet but not too "maternity shoot-y", I love it! You guys are a very good-looking couple :)
ReplyDelete♥ perfectly Priya
Such beautiful photos you guys. Love that you wore a striped dress for this. I loved doing our pregnancy shoot when I was pregnant also. Nice memories. <3
