I met Ashley almost two years ago now when I captured her family on a gorgeous beach. We made an instant connection and quickly became friends. Fast forward to last spring when she messaged me one evening to tell me the exciting news, SHE WAS PREGGO! I was so happy for her and even more happy when she asked if I would be her birth photographer.

On September 17th, in the evening, I got a text from Ashley saying that she thought her water had broken and she would keep me updated as to what the midwife said once she got to the birth center. A few hours later and it was just a false alarm, but she was having contractions and it would be any minute now. Around 4:30-5am she text me again to let me know it was the real deal and they were headed back to the birth center. THIS WAS IT. This was not a drill people! I hurried to get dressed and grabbed my gear and made my way to the birth center.
