I am so excited for Maria and her new adventure beginning in the fall at Boudoin!!!  YAY!  Congratulations to you, Dear – Enjoy your Blog Feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

I just finished designing a Senior Album for one of my seniors, Ryan!  I’m thinking a black leather cover – so excited to order it!  Here are the images for the album – I’ll post images of the actual album when it comes in .

Man – I am one lucky girl!!!  Look at all of these gorgeous gals I got to photograph over the last few weeks .  Thank you, Ladies, for Rockin’ the camera!!!

Yesterday was our first Senior Spokesmodel shoot.  Guess what?  It was about 32 degrees and windy, making it feel like it was actually 23 degrees.  It was SO.COLD.  So cold, as a matter of fact, that I photographed each girl for only about 10 minutes.  Literally.  My hands were frozen by the end of the shoot, but we managed to get some really amazing shots – these girls were super troopers hanging out there in the cold with me.  So, although we were anticipating a longer session, they really worked it!  Thank you, Harmony, Savannah & Anneliese for letting me photograph you lovely gals!!!  You really started my season off well!!!

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!

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!

Kody’s well into his senior year by now, but he was the first senior I photographed (besides my 2012 spokesmodels, of course) this summer.  I love that he brought his snowboard.  Even though it was about a million degrees outside.  Thanks, Kody, for letting me photograph your senior pics.  You’re a stud!

Isn’t this girl just gorgeous???  I just love her, too.  GREAT personality!  I loved that she brought her amazing prom dress to her senior session.  It was so fun photographing that beautiful dress in the middle of the field.  Despite VERY muggy weather on the day of her shoot, we got some amazing images.  Thanks, Morgan, for rockin’ the camera!  Enjoy your feature and Consider Yourself Loved…
