The Lopez Family {family session}

There are several families I would love to just be a fly on the wall in their home…this is one. Their kids are always so polite, friendly and fun – you just know being around them that they are a tight family. My boys love these girls…and Everett seemed to take to their son! Denise is the Women’s Minister at my church…you should check out her blog. If you join us at The Christmas Gathering (yesterday’s post) you can hear Denise – she’s hilarious (and I know she is so thrilled with me for posting that :) ) Well onto the pictures…I did a lot more processing on the first one, not usually my style but I really liked how it looked on this one.


She has a cute idea for her home and needed a picture of the kid’s feet…

Happy 80th Birthday Grandma

For those wondering, I took the boys to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I really had no desire to see it, but it was a cold day, I needed out of the house and the boys love dogs. So we went. They did awesome and enjoyed the movie – it was okay….

Today my grandma celebrates her 80th birthday! Last week the boys and I met my grandparents at Krispy Kreme for some all-natural healthy breakfast. Over doughnuts my grandpa said he needed some new pictures of his girl. I happily volunteered as long as I could take some of him with her too. I love these two! My grandpa pointed out to everyone that passed by how beautiful my grandma looked…I agree she is a stunning 80 years young.


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture. He did it on his own and I was quick enough to catch him.

Carol - You did an amazing job of capturing their love. I will have to get some prints of these.

Lauren - So sweet Ash! Great job!

liz - Ashley, these are so sweet. I love the second one!

denise Lopez - OK I am crying–that is adorable. What a blessing–you need to send those to some magazine somewhere!!! “This is what love looks like at 80!”

sheridan - Nothing more beautiful than unconditional everlasting love! Great job!

Jeannette Swan - These are priceless!! Treasure those grandparents!

jesse - Those are so sweet! How blessed you are!

Lesley - Happy Birthday Grandma! You are a knockout!!

Carrie Sowell - So precious! She looks so young and so in love!

Rachel - What beautiful pictures!! Great job, Ash.

Angie - Such a beautiful couple! Brought tears to my eyes!

Stephanie - First time to finally post a comment. I couldn’t resist! What an incredible legacy. They are precious Ashley! Very inspiring…

patti - i know we don’t know each other, but it has to be said that seeing photos of you and photos of your beautiful grandmother, i can definitely see a resemblance! i was very close to my grandmother too. she’s in heaven now, but i think of her daily and i know she’s always with me! beautiful photos, as always…thanks for sharing!

SuperMom {or SuperCrazy}

I just got back from taking a 7 month old, a 2 1/2 year old, and a 4 1/2 year old to a movie theater by myself. Oh yes, now I feel like I can conquer the world.

Lauren - Whoa! I’m so envious! I have a hard enough time with help. Hope it went well.

Jeannette Swan - Why??? You are funny. I did take Camden, Jordan and Corban in January – left Noble with Grandma. It hasn’t happened again since!

melanie - And I haven’t ventured to a movie theater since the kids were born! If only I could learn to be more like you!!

jesse - GIRL, You are brave! I so couldn’t take Jude! The other two would be fine, but not the little man!

meg duerksen - you are awesome!
when those times go well it feels so good.
but look out if they go bad….

what did you see?
i didn’t know there was anything worth going to this weekend.
should we go?

sheridan - I’m so impressed! SuperMom you are!

Carrie Sowell - Drugging them before with benedryl is cheating!! :-)

The Snyders {family session}

On my way home from this session Chris called and asked me how it went. I told him I felt like I just cheated on something. You see 95% of my clients are age 3 and under…which means I am very used to crying, throwing, running, eating, lots of breaks. I almost wasn’t sure what to do with these girls…it was a lot of fun and the whole family looks like Gap models. It felt like cheating….

Michelle - Thank you so much! We enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see them all!

Jeannette Swan - I’m jealous – everyone is looking at the camera and it looks like you didn’t have to work hard to get great pictures – someday we will be there!! Michelle – I bought that dress for Noble to wear for our pictures, but ended up having to pick something else to coordinate with the boys. These pictures are amazing!!!!

Lesley - Whoa! What a photogenic family! Great pics as usual Ash! I love the grouping of the 3 girls, so great.

denise lopez - Awesome!! Cute family!!

bopha - Wow, what a gorgeous family. The girls are all so beautiful and you did a great job at capturing that!

meg duerksen - okay seriously….these are SO GOOD!!!!
holy cow you are so good.
the oldest reminds me a bit a teenager around here….no smile…just a slight smirk.
but she’s still beautiful of course. but you are always waiting for that big smile.

what a gorgeous family.
you captured them so beautifully. WOW.

our little weekend trip

Thought I’d post a few from our weekend. The dinosaur part didn’t work out due to an error on my part…who knew there wasn’t a direct road from one town to the other. I’ll begin with Corbett leading the boys on an attack of the girls…

MGF - That cart looks so fun, and I just noticed the monsters in the bottom of the play pin. LOL…..

Ty {and his siblings…and friends…}

Well I know a lot of you local gals are anxious to see baby Ty so I wanted to get this post up. His siblings and friends are too cute to leave out of the post….

Jeannette Swan - Love them all!!! Angie – I can’t believe how big the kids are – I’ve never even gotten to meet Ty! They are all so adorable. And, Cindy – your kids are cute as usual!!

Rebekah Jean - Hey…do you use an auto setting for focus on your camera…or do you like to do it manually? Just wondering! Thanks…

rj

Mandy - OH MY GOSH!! Ty looks so cute. I can’t wait to see those kiddos in person….B family we miss you!

melanie - Angie, Ty looks so much like Addie and a little like Sawyer! Cindy, Eli looks so grown up!! Miss you all!

AshleyAnn - Rebekah – I use the auto focus, I am not fast enough to catch kids in action with manual focus and kids are ALWAYS in action!

The Swans {family session}

Before we left for the weekend I got to spend a little time with the Swans. You might recognize their youngest two from sessions earlier this summer. I have a feeling this little girl is going to be spoiled by her big (and young) brothers! Here’s the kids, starting from the oldest….

so much going on with 4 kids….

“Let me get one of the two of you…put your arm around your brother.”
