I met Ashley last year on one of her best friend, Stefani’s wedding day in Bloomington, Illinois! I remember Ashley and all of the other ladies who stood up as bridesmaids were absolutely the sweetest and ridiculously excited for their friend on her big day! Well, now the focus is on the beautiful Ashley and her husband, Bryan as they are expecting their first child. I have very much been looking forward to photographing their maternity session ever since Ashley reached out to me. They are having a little boy and they have chosen the name, Anthony! I had the opportunity to photograph this wonderful couple in the Winnie the Pooh themed nursery they have prepared for Anthony’s arrival in their home. I was able to meet their cute dog, Opie, and include him in some of the photos. We had a great time in the nursery reading books and playing with all of Anthony’s new toys. He is so adored already!

After a bit of time at their home, we headed to a local park in Bloomington to catch the sunset and some beautiful photos for Ashley and Bryan! They are both very excited for their little guy to arrive and looking forward to finally holding him in their arms. Ashley and Bryan are caring, loving, and adorable together so I can already tell they will be amazing parents to their son! Before the sun dipped below the horizon we were able to capture a bunch of delightful moments revealing Ashley and Bryan’s celebration of the joys of being pregnant and their warmth towards one another. I’m very excited to meet Anthony when he makes his appearance in the world. Best of Luck to Ashley and Bryan as they head into parenthood in the next few weeks! 

Warm Regards, 
Lauren
