Two wonderful, amazing new beginnings growing side by side. It is such a beautiful way to start this life, to be with a friend.

Have a lovely Monday!

Dear Little Bunny,

You are growing so quickly.  You are sprouting such personality and make mommy’s heart all fluttery when you giggle.  You are looking like your sisters more and more everyday.  Lately you have decided you will not cry – instead you will scream.  Mommy has chosen to think this is cute.

Thank you sweet child, for being mine.

Love Mommy ~

There is such beauty in life.  One of the greatest gifts we could give to ourselves is the time and willingness to simply … breathe it in.

This day … was awesome.  I guarantee that if you saw someone singing their ever lovin’ heart out on the highway this day, chances are it was me.  If it wasn’t me, than it was someone else with a grin ear to ear.  I cannot tell you my pure joy when I am when I feeling good, it’s a beautiful day and there is good tunes on the radio.  lol!  I *am* that person you drive past and they are all alone, singing in their car.  It makes me laugh and sing louder when someone sees me.  If you don’t already do this, you simply must start.  Your heart and mind will feel lighter and happier.

Love Ashley ~

There is such beauty and sweet possibility ahead of us.  I wish you well friends.  Love deep, laugh hard and be present in these moments.

Have a most lovely first day of this fresh new year ♥

Love Ashley ~

* Just a note – I am out of the office until January 6th and will begin returning all non urgent calls and emails at that time.  I will be checking my messages from time to time though, so please feel free to leave me a message if you have had a baby – those messages I will return asap.  Happy Holidays!

It was such a pleasure getting to meet this beautiful Mama earlier this month.  I can hardly wait to meet her sweet baby boy on Monday for his newborn session!

I simply adored these two!  Such a stunning couple with a beautiful connection with each other.  They made our maternity session so natural and we created some fabulous images.

I love getting client orders back to me at the studio.  It’s like Christmas getting the package.  I then make sure it is perfect – then I get to pass the goodness on to my clients.  It’s fabulous.

Today I thought I would share some images of a client order that has just arrived to the studio — our popular Display Box.  This custom item is often a favorite with my mommy’s to display images from their maternity session.  This stunning custom made box contains 10 matted art prints from your session that can be displayed many different ways.  You get to choose from a selection of gorgeous fabrics and ribbons, then the box is handmade by the finest.
