Laura just got married last weekend.  Beautiful weather, beautiful location, we'll talk more of that shortly. The fantastic Lizzy brought us together, and for that I am so thankful.  Laura's dress is one of my favorites I have seen in a while.  Like you "wanna borrow it and get married again", kinda dress!
April might be my new favorite month for marriage.  Great weather, great light, daylight savings, no rain dates (so far), my birthday month and it is spring.

Hilary

Hilary is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met.  I smile when texts me, emails me...you smile just knowing she was thinking of you.  She is one of those women that will make the greatest wife, the greatest mom...you get the point.  She is genuine and just a fun person to be around.  I want to bottle Hilary and sell it...everyone would be richer with some Hilary in their life.  I never blogged her bridal portraits and she deserves a post all about her.  If you love Hilary, leave a comment.  You know you all blow up her wall with comments ;)  And just so you know Hil...you can tag me till the cows come home. I don't even mind!

Yay~ I just noticed this blog post! :-)
Ashley, not only are you the most talented photographer I've seen (and trust me everyone, I did my research on photographers), but you made these portraits fun, relaxing, and natural...You captured my excitement and joy of being a bride... and dang, you really captured my dress and all of the details I spent hours upon hours picking out.
To anyone looking at this blog and wondering which photographer to choose, there really is no choice... anyone who knows me knows my passion for photography and capturing "those moments"... and Ashley does that. Naturally and Perfectly.
Ashley, you'll continue to be my family's photographer at every milestone of our life!

faves of 09
02.12.2010
I have chosen some of my favorite pictures from 2009.  The images may be my favorite because of the moment/expressions, the light, etc.  Some of the sessions just seem to be exactly what I love...from dress (or clothes), to the light, to the makeup.  Some of those sessions you may see more images from than others. 
Last year was definitely a year for bridal portraits. I have come to realize they are what I love, what I am good at and what make me feel happy.  I love creating images that women are proud of, that they feel beautiful in, and that we have a blast creating together.  I love seeing everything come together from hair and makeup, accessories, to the shoes a bride chooses to walk down the aisle in.  It is all fascinating to me and last year was full of bridal sessions, and ones that let me think and shoot out of the box just a little bit more.  I can't wait to see what 2010 holds.  I already have the most unique assortments of brides and locations.  From mountainside weddings to Jewish weddings I am so excited I could scream.  Is it that or the snow that is falling outside...well who knows.  This is a year for firsts.  A first to have Billy gone for 7 months...a first to have Wesley head off to Kindergarten...a first to be totally and unequivocally outnumbered by toddlers!
Here are MY FAVES

music available on ITUNES or Amazon.com
i am in no way selling music, trying to benefit from music or profiting from the slideshow presentation.  I am only trying to set a mood and let the music and photos together tell a story of my utmost joy and satisfaction with what 2009 had to offer.

Ash-I love your faves!!! A lot of yours are faves of mine - there is a girl that is always laughing in your pictures (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) I wish I could hear her! LOVED that pick of Heath too!
