Ashley: Maternity Shoot [Columbia, SC Maternity Photographer]

A few weeks ago, Ashley's fiance's mom contacted me about a maternity shoot for Ashley and Travis. I was thrilled when she contacted me to photograph this special time in her son and future daughter in law's lives.

I've known Travis, Ashley's fiance, for years now. Throughout high school, we had many of the same friends. Travis always knew how to make someone laugh, and I found that to still be true during our session. I met Ashley in December 2011. She struck me as sweet, understanding, driven and a great listener. We talked the night that we met, about her love of children and teaching young children. When I found out that Ashley and Travis were pregnant, I knew without a doubt, that they would be wonderful parents. Travis and Ashley balance each other out, they support each other, and work together as a team. I had so much fun shooting Ashley's maternity pictures and getting to know her and Travis better.

Their baby girl, Ella, will have wonderful parents, and I can't wait to see her grow into a beautiful young woman.
