Meet Ashlyn

Ashlyn is my niece...
Ashlyn is beautiful, inside and out...
Ashlyn is smart, when you talk to her you feel like you're talking to someone much older than she is, and if you listen closely you are likely to hear her say something quite profound.
Ashlyn is kind, she has an incredibly sweet nature and truly cares about others more than herself, it's really amazing to see in such a young child.
Ashleyn is "fashion", this child loves fashion (so she's a girl after my own heart) and one of her favorite lines is "this is SO fashion" if something is cute. :)
Ashlyn is talented, she seems to pick things up so quickly, whether it be gymnastics, soccer, cheer leading, she's a very gifted child.
Ashlyn is funny, not long ago I was in the car with her (we were going through Taco Bell drive thru, of course:) and she looks at me out of nowhere and says "you know....one time I watched a comedy show about a comedy show...what's with that?" I swear I laughed until I cried.
Ashlyn is sunshine, I really don't know a better way to describe her other than to say she is just a bright wonderful warm ray of sunshine that you always want around.
I love her so very much.

Meet my adorably perfect wonderful sweet kissable newphew!!

Longest blog title ever... but it was completely necessary. Isn't he just to die for!!! I was so blessed to be able to photograph this little angels birth, birth photography is truly a powerful thing and it was a life changing experience for me.

His mother had an all natural home birth and it was amazing, it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life, and I wasn't even having the baby! And if you don't know much about home births, or think they are unsafe (totally untrue) you should check out www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com . There is a trailer on there for the documentary and if it looks interesting to you, then you should rent it.

I didn't know much about home birth and when I decided to shoot this one I wanted more information and it is nothing like I thought. When (if) :) I have children this is something I definitely want to consider for myself.

Here are the photo's of adorable Amos! He was just 3 hours old here!! How cool is that!

shame on me...

I have been made aware that I am a bad bad blogger. I promise you it's not that I am lazy, I swear! I just have been all over the country lately, I've hardly been home to blog! But I don't have another trip out of town planned for (gasp) a month! I do believe that's a record of some sort for me, so I will be better, pinky swear. Here are some long overdue photo's from Florida, I've got more to share but I'll save that for another blog day, I don't want to overdo it on my first day back and pull a hamstring or something. :)

Spring Georgia Dates Announced!

My previous clients sort of got "first dibs" on this one. I sent out an e-mail last night and the trip is already halfway full! Thank you all! So now I am going to post this for everyone, I will be in Georgia March 23-29th for sessions. If you would like to book your session let me know asap so I can save you a spot!

I've still got sand in my hair...

Florida was amazing, it was beautiful and fun and relaxing and I am oh so sad that I had to leave. I went with two girls and I honestly can't remember the last time I have laughed so much, "I'm definitely not mad about it" (that's a Scarlet shout out there... long story). Anyway, I had a wonderful time shooting on the beach and have some beautiful photographs to share soon, in the meantime here are some photo's of me behind the camera in front of the camera, did that confuse you enough? My fab photographer friend Lauren who I went with shot some of me shooting and as you can tell the wind was out of control, my hair was everywhere but it's still fun for me to laugh at myself and how silly I look when shooting. My best friend Shea told me one time that when I shoot my other eye rolls into my head sort of flickers and all she can see is the white of my eye... so apparently I'm possessed when shooting, who knew!
