Every pregnancy has a story, and the maternity photos represent allll that meaning behind it. Pretty special, if you ask us. After 37 months of trying, 6 IVF cycles, and tons of waiting, Ala of Love Ala is finally going to be a mama! Even better that her dear friend, fellow photog Megan Welker was able to capture these moments at the most stylish Airbnb ever, The Joshua Tree House.

When in Joshua Tree, you’ve gotta capture some beautiful light.

Desert style!
