{MATERNITY} Ashley + Scott

Ashley and I met a couple of months ago at prenatal yoga and discovered that not only are we due within a month of each other, but we also live in the same neighborhood! She and her husband, Scott, are so excited to welcome their little boy next month and I was honored when they asked me to take some maternity photos for them.

This session is actually Part 1 of 2... they love their sweet dog, Dax - their first "baby" - and knew they wanted to include him in their maternity photos. So we did this little session right in our neighborhood, and then we'll head into Downtown Frederick in a few weeks to do more photos of just Ashley and Scott. I can't wait!

P52: Weeks 1-4

I mentioned that one of my goals for this year is to participate in a Project 52 photography project, and I'm pleased to report that I'm officially one month in. I'm participating in this with over 400 other Clickin Moms members, and we have suggested themes to follow for each week. Let me tell you, the work these girls have submitted so far has been incredible and so inspiring. It's amazing to see everyone's vastly different takes on the same theme. Here are my photos, so far: Week 1 | New Year

Week 2 | Silhouette

Yyyyyeah, so I'm really proud of this one, but it's also super personal and I don't feel comfortable sharing it with the masses. I promise I will try my best to make sure this is the only one I can't share with you. Sorry!

Week 3 | Shallow Depth of Field

Week 4 | Weather

I'm planning to post these on a weekly basis from now on (probably on Mondays) so stay tuned, and thanks for looking! :)
