What was I doing a year ago?  Photographing these beautiful babes.  ”M” and “E” are now a year old.  I can’t believe it!

I love it when my brides and grooms decide to expand their family.  I once heard that you’re ready to start a family when you feel like you need to love more.  If you love your spouse with the unconditional love we’re supposed to have, it’s time to expand that love.  Claire and Ryan were married in December of 2008 – I still remember their wedding and wedding details to this day. It was such a beautiful union and I am so excited to see them take this next step.  Congratulations, Dear Claire and Ryan.  I am so happy for you!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE having Senior Models represent Ashki Photography.  You girls are awesome and I had so much fun getting to know you a few weeks ago!!!  Thanks for braving the cold – hopefully the next time I photograph you, it will not be a little warmer!  Thanks, Ladies – I’ll see you in a week or so!!!

There’s still time to apply for our 2nd round of 2013 Models for Ashki Photography – here’s the link to the application – due on MONDAY!

This first day of November, I’m thankful for my little guy. He turns five and I can’t believe how fast the time has flown. It seems like just yesterday, he was in the NICU after a horrible pregnancy. Not able to hold him for a few days, it was a sad time in our lives, but I’d do it all over again if it still meant I could be his Mama…love you, Baby Boy…

This beautiful lady is my cousin.  She’s my mama’s sister’s daughter.  She is an amazing woman who has overcome incredible medical mountains.  Cancer twice – beat twice.  Not only that, but an amazing mom with an unmatched sense of humor.  Love her and her family.  Aren’t their boys sooooo stinkin’ cute?  Julius REALLY loves his cuzins .  Enjoy your feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

So…I think “B” means beautiful boys.  I loved that they were so excited to be with each other.  I hope our kids continue to have a great relationship like these beautiful boys .  Enjoy your feature, and Consider Yourselves Loved…

I love trading .  I have traded stylists, construction workers, landscapers, magazines, wine, personal trainers, organizers, babysitters, sewers, decorators, Scentsy.  Pretty much anything that you can trade, I’ll entertain the option.  I think we could all use a trade now and then.

Right this second, I am looking for someone who will trade photographs for:
Lawn Care/Maintenance
Closet Organizers (like California Closets)
Advertising Space
Furniture (don’t laugh – I have a friend who traded a couch for photography from a small business owner’s furniture store!)

But don’t be shy!  Do you have something I might want?  Just ask – you never know!

Seriously.  Could this little guy be any cuter?  At one year, he is already wooing the ladies.  I have to admit I fell prey to his charming ways.  Can you blame me?

Mom and Dad came all the way from Texas to let me photograph their first-born.  I can’t wait to see this little guy come back!  He is just so precious.  Enjoy your Blog Feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…
