Heyyy!! I am so so excited to share some amazing news with you guys.
In a few days I am traveling to New Orleans/ Mississippi /Gulf shore, AL/Florida, I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am. I am heading to that area to learn from one of the most amazing photographers ever. The famous Twig & Olive Photography. Whew! BUT that is not all. I am teaming up with my best friend (Aspen Grey Photography )to shoot in New Orleans at an iconic place called City Park, And then shooting at this gorgeous place in Florida as well. These are going to be the most amazing epic shoots ever! I cannot wait! Even better I will be sharing all of these things with you. Two completely different shoots but equally amazing in their ideas!
What does this mean for you? It means that I will be learning things to bring back to West Virginia for YOU! I will be learning all kinds of new things. Family session, Newborn, and even weddings! I can barely contain my excitement, beach shoots, wedding shoots, baby shoots, and lots of fun ideas!! This is a dream not only am I sharing all of these amazing moments with my best friend I am also learning from three of the most inspirational photographers of all time! The knowledge and ideas I am bringing to West Virginia should make you guys just as excited as I am. I am ready to learn, make, and be present!!
So I have been a little quiet lately but that does not mean I haven’t been working. Want to see what I have been up to?
I also just took on a second “job title” that is combining my love for photography and my love of getting to hear peoples stories. I am now a member of www.blmommy.com community not just a bump society member, but now the director for the bump society!! I am so excited about this adventure. I have been actually the acting director for the last month to test out the fit for this role with my business as well and it was love at first sight! I am part of an amazing team of women that truly run on baby snuggles and if you know me – thats my favorite thing in the world!
Here is what has been going on this last month. There are lots and lots of goodies. We have 2 births, multiple babies, birthday, pregnancy announcements, and maternity and engagement sessions Whew!
This birth was pure emotion, absolute happiness that spilled from everyone! It was incredible to witness, to be there to watch, to capture and to get that glimpse of what heaven must be like.That first look, That glorious moment when baby is brought earth-side and there are no words, just happiness, relief, and other worldly joy.
Another birth. No two births are the same, this birth was full of another emotion it was all anxious acknowledgement. Waiting to find out what little ones gender was.
The calmest/ chillest couple ever. It was the most calming environment, stories were shared, laughing and genuine family moments.
And that sweet relief, joy, and finding out you welcomed a baby to this world. A healthy gorgeous…
Baby….
GIRL!!!<3
Oh. This maternity session was so full of laughs, beautiful light and the sweetest family awaiting the arrival of their little baby boy.
Hugs, kisses, and cuddles were shared.
Sigh. Isn’t she just the cutest little lady ever?!
The gorgeous roundness of her healthy little guy safely near her heart. The joy and excitement when she talks about seeing her sweet little guys face. The dreams of who he will be and how big sister will take on her new role. The sweet waiting game, and the precious moments of being a family of three for a few more moments.
Sigh! That face touch.
Its safe to say she loves brother bear already!!
And who doesn’t love a party! Harper is just about to turn ONE! So we celebrated the only way we know how.
With Laughs
and
CAKE!!!!
And LOTS of icing!!

Ashly! Where do I begin? We were just looking for a fabulous photographer…What we found was a wonderful friend, someone who treats our baby like her own, and a photographer that goes out of her way to make our shoots special. I have literally loved EVERY photo you’ve ever taken of us! Congratulations on these upcoming ventures! I know you’ll rock it!
<3 Thank you for being such an inspiration and loving me with your whole heart!
Where do I start. We had a sweet baby girl come into our lives on May 19 2015. We knew from the start that Ashley was the one we wanted to capture our sweet grand daughters first year. Ashley is amazing, she is kind and has the patience of a saint. Ashley’s work is stunning and I can’t thank her enough for the treasures she has given to us over the last 10 months. You have a great gift Ashley and I am so happy for you.
Thanks for all of the wonderful photos. They are best photos we have ever had take.
Oh.my.
You’re work is phenomenal. When we moved to WV I was so devastated to realize we wouldn’t use our normal family photographer and that no one would compare. I was SO SO wrong. You have made this 2nd baby experience so wonderful, and my family loves you! I couldn’t imagine getting pictures by anyone else! Thank you for capturing my tiny family so meticulously and graciously, as if it were your own. You are amazing, and we are so glad you’re part of this adventure with us!
Oh Ashly, We are so happy for you! So glad you get this amazing opportunity! You deserve it! Love love my spring minis…can’t wait to get some of them hanging on my walls! ☺❤
