Over the weekend I held the first fall SnapShop. I usually take more pictures of the attendees, but I didn’t get many this round. This was also the first SnapShop that I was not pregnant and as a result we had the cutest baby model for the indoor practice shoot… For our outdoor practice shoot...
Great pics- LOVED the class! Thanks for everything!
So cute! I so would love to go to a class of yours… any chance of having one in New Hampshire? 
Sitting here with the biggest smile on my face…there is something magical about children and you perfectly captured it! Completely digging the one of the feet in action, Kim
those are great pics and the girls are so cute. I can’t wait to see how the ones of baby breese turned out.
You always take such gorgeous photos! I wish I lived close to you so I could participate in your class
You are such a gifted photographer! I found your site by accident and now I’m hooked! Have you been to thepioneerwoman.com? She has a lot of free action sets for Photoshop.
When I took an Intro to Photography course my professor said one thing every photographer needs and will use ALL THE TIME is a tripod. I am a bad student. Once a year I drag my tripod out to get a family picture…the kind where I am running back and forth from behind the camera...

REALLY this is getting just silly! I am going to have a little talk with God and tell him we need to make some sort of deal about the next day we pick so that it doesn’t rain. I love you girl! It will happen sometime I promise!
Ha! That is crazy! But I believe it! I haven’t been very busy this fall, but I figure it’s a blessing in disguise because I would probably have to cancel a lot due to weather anyway.
Every other day this week is supposed to be beautiful! That is the kind of luck that I usually have! You never know because the weatherman aren’t always right so hopefully they will be wrong!
Tremendous photos, I spent far too long looking at them!,
Now wasn’t that a great picture to start your Monday off with? I think things are finally back up and running correctly with my hosting company…so I will share some vacation pictures. I debated posting all these…I kept thinking of other blogs that would post this many and other blogs that would never post personal...

Ashley, I am so glad that you posted ALL of these! I get stuck in the comparing game all of the time. Why do we do that?
I’m so glad you went with the ‘you’ blog and posted your vacation pictures. Loved them all. I have to say I’m a little sucker for Littlest Bro’s tummy! I LOVE IT! Preggo pic cute. Also loved the pic of the boys standing up on the doc and baby sis laying there. Your boys faces say it all. Glad you had a great time.
Great pics as usual!!! Question for you and your faithful blog followers out there…do you know of any good places to take engagement pictures in Oklahoma City?
I love the ’9mo pregnant pose’ that cracked me up. All great photos. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I don’t think you shared too many.
I have to say my fav is the pic of all 4 and Breese’s tongue is out. Great pics and what a great family you have.
Those are great pictures! I love the one of the boys on the tires! It looks like each one of them is in his own little world! Breese is just precious! Is your wrap a loveydud off of etsy?
Rachel…I am not familiar with OKC, but I would bet the Paseo district and just about anywhere downtown would be great spots for a session.
Meagan…yep, it is a Loveydud. I had it for my youngest son and replaced the fabric on the front for my daughter. You won’t see that fabric in her store.
those are great pictures. love the one of “pregnant” rett!
So, I guess you love it?! I’ve been looking at them since March and still haven’t bought one! I really want one, although techinically I don’t need one since I already have a sling and an AngelPack (which is also awesome!)! It just looks so comfy!
My Monday is complete! My favorite picture is the one with all the kids and she’s sticking out her tongue. Too cute!
Tell Chris – one person’s “morbid” is another person’s “creative”…great pictures Ash!! I love seeing pretty blankets in with all the dirt!
ok, these pictures are beyond fabulous!!! i love them!

Thanks for sharing! pregnant pose killed me SO cute, and loved the gun show.
Oh you just made my heart smile…
My three big boys are now college age, luckily for me we had another batch so baby sister and brother are still home. Your pics reminded me of the pure energy three little boys can create, thanks so much! Kim
Looks like you had tons of fun! i love all of your pics…
this vacay pics are fabulous. I’m so glad you posted them. Thanks for sharing!
Your blog is my favorite. And I obsessively make my roommates look at the pictures of your adorable kids. They’re so cute!!
I get stuck comparing my pictures with yours!! I love them all, I can’t imagine if I got even 1/4 of the shots you got, how happy I would be!! Always post whatever you want to, that is just what we want to see.
Your children are so gorgeous. Your family is so blessed!
How fun! I love the pregnant image… so funny! I love how you narrated the vacation, too. 
Guess who really likes her mommy? We are out of the phase where I have to make tons of faces and noises to get one little smile…we are now in the phase where she can just lock eyes with me and that is enough for a smile. I love it. I LOVE IT. There are...

She is so gorgeous!!!
I adored that age! All you had to do was walk in the room and you’d get the biggest smile and laugh—like you were the most important person to her ever and she had been waiting her whole day for you to walk through that door—even if you’d only been gone 5 minutes!!!
She’s absolutely stunning.
She is a gem! She looks oh so snugly in these.
precious!
how sweet
Love baby smiles.
How is it that she keeps changing so much? She looks a lot like Corbett in that middle picture. She is so sweet!!
What a beauty!
Well I am STILL having server issues….emails still with error codes and still unable to upload. My free Photobucket account is getting full, so I am waiting to post vacation pictures until my hosting company gets my account back up. So until that wonderful day, I’ll just wait for big photo posts… I shoot fully...

I am a “lurker” on your blog, but I have seen the issues you have been having with your server. I am a website designer and I use godaddy.com to host every site. In 8 years we have never had an issue. Another thought – use flickr.com. When you upload photos you can send them directly to your blog pre-formatted. It is so easy, and a great place to store your photos. E-mail me if you need any assistance, always happy to help out. My husband, Mickel, says he was your intern in youth group. He is friends with John. I stumbled on your blog through a blog when you posted your “slat” daybed. Anyway, let me know if I can help. It is crazy that they have left you hanging so long!
very helpful, thank you so much!
Definitely helpful….It’s also really helpful when you show us what settings you took your pics on.
Posts like this are SO VERY HELPFUL! I love getting tips from you.
Very helpful! I love your tips!
SO HELPFUL!!! Thanks so much!
