the adventure continues ✨ yes, it’s true! we are well on our way to welcoming the most incredible soul to our family. it’s no secret… but we’ve been holding this precious bundle as close to us as possible; it’s been one of the sweetest joys, soaking in the little kicks and preparing our home for more love and chaos that is to come. something about that third baby; it’s been a peaceful pregnancy; sickness in the beginning and easy breezy, quite honestly. Fatigue? oh yes! But it’s all felt like a gift; the worries that consumed me with the first and even second time around are of the past… and I’m just holding on tight to this feeling; growing life. thankful for ALL OF IT. Yes! Yes, I do complain of the aches and pains, and wish I had more energy… but I know it’s fleeting… ALL OF IT. Soon, I’ll hold a newborn, then with a blink we will be blowing out birthday candles … so I’m holding on to ALL OF IT and wishing each year that passes I find a way to slow it all down. In utter disbelief that it’s time we share our treasured news; but it’s due time: maternity leave is creeping closer; and I’ll be closing my photography book for the summer of 2024, with plans to return in September this fall… 🍁 thank you all for the most incredible winter; capturing your newborns, baby bumps, and milestone celebrations has been a true love and joy in my life; and I look forward to a fun filled spring making memories before I sign off to celebrate this wonderful time with our growing family! Love, Light + Gratitude ✨ Ashley
