In current studio news – am having email troubles. I am not sure why this is happening just yet. Today I have been trying to resend a number of emails, but I unfortunately have no idea how many emails never made it to their recipients. Another problem is, I have no idea if this issue is also affecting my incoming emails (as the problem seems sporadic). This is big trouble since I do so much communication by email.

If you have emailed me in the last month and have *not* received an email back or are waiting (longer than 72 hours) to hear from me for any reason, please write or call me again. I am so sorry to have inconvenienced anyone. I will continue to figure out the issue and more-so, the solution to this problem.

Sweet baby boy, it was so nice to see such bright eyes on a tiny little person. As wide eyed as you were, I managed to capture some sleepy time too ♥

The beauty of love and the depth of connection heals me. Tension melts, stress subsides and the world is wonderful.

Love Ashley ~

Well hello there beautiful soul.  I am humbled to be in this moment with you.  You are important and full of brilliance.  The day I met you, the world around us was still full of shades of grey and winter blue.  There is beauty all around.  The tall, delicate frost is quite a stunning sight.

Love Ashley ~

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 ~

Firstly, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  I sort have dropped completely off the radar there for a little while and never said that!  The darling wee baby boy above is telling my story — I am *wiped*!  lol!  So as hard as it will be for me to peel myself away (I adore my job), I will be taking my first break from work since having my baby girl back in September. (I say break loosely since I still have to finish up with about ten client sessions and I still have one more due date.  LOL!!).  I will be “out of the office” until January 6th and will begin returning all 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.

The new year is coming up so quick.  I am so truly grateful for this past year.  So many phenomenal, beautiful things have happened and I am now able to just sit back and smile.  I have sooo many fantastic things on the go for 2010 that I am wicked excited for.  Seriously – I could cry with happiness and excitement.  It will be amazing.

Happy Holidays again, friends!

It was a calm November day when I met you.  The cloud was a ledge that cut through the sky, dividing it one half blue and one half grey.  The grey seemed heavy and sank as the morning sun lifted higher, revealing the blue.  It was as though the sky was opening it’s eyes.   The edges softened to wispy wisps of white and the beautiful individual rays from the sun spilled down.  It was a good day.

It was beautiful to meet you baby girl.  Be good to your Mommy and Daddy.  They love you true ♥

Dear baby boy,

It was my absolute pleasure to meet you.  I think before you arrived, you decided to just sit back and enjoy the day.  You were such a good boy.  For the love of cute and furry bunnies, don’t even get me started on this first image below.  I love it as though it were a picture of my own babies.  I swear I can hear you snort ♥

This little man is the beautiful new life from this fabulous maternity session.  It was great getting to spend another lovely afternoon with this fantastic family.

I love images like this bottom one.  A unique little person being fabulous and doing the simple things that make new life so amazing and interesting.

This sweet peanut is the brand new baby sister to a handsome fella I photographed back in 2007.  I simply adore this family.  They are fabulous people and I am incredibly lucky to watch their family grow.

Love Ashley ~
