Sami : Maternity Shoot | Albuquerque, New Mexico!
Happy Monday!! I wanted to start this Monday by getting back into the swing of things with blogging. I’ve been slacking a little, but have so much to show you so I’m hoping to do a little better this week!
Congrats Finney family…I’m so happy for you!!!
There isn’t any possible way I can sum up the way I feel about the Ash family in a blog post. Sorry, I just can’t do it. As you’ve probably read, Hayley & I have known each other since we were 4. We met in “preschool Sunday school” and other than my sisters, she is my oldest friend. Do you know how amazing it is to watch one of your best friends get married & have babies…well, it’s amazing.
Early last year Justin & I were at the Ash home playing cards & Hayley kept knocking everything (and I mean everything) over. She casually mentioned that last time she was that clumsy was when she was pregnant with Sophie. We all laughed about that, and continued our game. When we got home Justin was just as clumsy…and he said, Hayley better be pregnant, cause if she isn’t, you are.
The maternity shoot was actually pretty unplanned. I was in Columbus and had my camera, and Hayley had a feeling that Laynie wanted to make her arrival before our scheduled shoot.
The minute Richard called me to let me know they were heading to the hospital I was putting on my shoes. Of course I had to wait a couple hours till Justin got home from school…but I was so excited! *and surprise…Laynie decided to come about 1 month early!
I actually wanted to post these pictures this morning, but decided I shouldn’t. When I posted Heidi’s maternity photos online, she had her sweet baby girl that day…and Laynie wasn’t due until Dec 13, so I didn’t want to speed that up. Well, it didn’t matter my intentions…she was ready ;) Hayley & I had a quick impromtu photo shoot one night at her house, she didn’t think she would make it to our planned date (and she was right). I haven’t gone through all the pictures, but here are a couple that stuck out.
