i shot these this morning of my big sister just few minutes before she headed off to the hospital.
i'm so excited to meet my new nephew--i've been pestering her to have this baby for weeks (as if i'm the one who should be complaining about how long pregnancy is...)
the baby has had some heart problems that could have been pretty serious, so we're all really grateful that the medications are working well and everything seems to be okay.
it was my first experience with indoor maternity and i thought the pictures turned out beautifully--of course when you have a beautiful home and a beautiful sister to work with, it makes my job pretty easy.
 wish her luck today!

xo, ashley

These are awesome. I wish you could fly to Provo and come take my maternity pictures. I don't naturally look adorable like your sister so I could use the help of a skilled photographer. ha Good luck! So excited for your family and the new addition!
