Liene - Beautiful pictures of a lovely family!

growing up with big brothers

If they are eating anywhere but the table, they have to stand up…otherwise their food is considered fair game to her. “Dear God, thank you for giving me two little brothers that are silly and make me laugh. Thank you for giving me a little sister that is tough and doesn’t even cry when we…

Ari Morris - Ashley,
How in the world do you get your pictures so crystal clear??? I know you are mega talented of course…but…? That picture of Breece getting the underware placed on her head is amazing! I want to take pictures like that!!!

Grace - Cute kids! Love the one where big brother is putting underwear on her head! :) hehe

Tonia - I’m sorry, but denim diapers?! Big brother’s underwear on her head is far cutier than a denim diaper would be!

Katie H. - I am going to have to agree with the previous comments about her not being able to date with those big brothers around.

You may not know this Ashley, but my first ever formal dance “sophmore semi-formal” I went with Chris, because I didn’t like the other options Robert had for me.

Kimber - your little girl is adorable! and so are these pictures! i grew up with 4 older brothers and these pictures remind me so much of what i went through! goodness! i found your blog a few weeks ago and am now shamefully obsessed with all your pics and adorable DIY! thanks fo sharing everyday, i’m so excited everytime you do!

Michelle W - Ash, Your kids are simply adorable. You have so many great photos of them. Do you scrapbook the photos? So many photos…so little time?

Martina - Aw, this post was so sweet! She’s a very blessed little girl to have 3 cool big brothers. I pity the guy she falls in love with some day … :) And biggest brother’s prayer is so sweet and sincere!

lifeologia - These photos are so much fun. I love the Spider Baby!
She is one lucky girl to have such great brothers to always protect her ;)

Heather - love this! what a lucky little girl to have so many boys to love her. my daughter (who has that same dress. i heart walmart baby dresses!) runs around the house with a bakugan in one hand and a naked dolly in the other. life is good!

julia - my heart? it just melted!

the inadvertent farmer - Hope she never plans on dating…my daughter’s three older brothers have already told her not dating till 30.

They were deadly serious!!! Kim

Seamingly Sarah - You are making my womb ache for more babies. I’ll tell my husband to blame you and your adorable children.

rachel denbow - Ashley you’ve caught some incredibly tender, fantastic moments here. Those boys obviously know how to love on their little sister. And I’m happy to know I wasn’t the only one who snatched up that little denim jumper at Wal-Mart. (and the pink one, too!) Sometimes they surprise me over there!

Now I want two more kids, like stat. (wait a minute….lets think about this)

anne c - you have the cutest kids in the world ashley! I wish I could be a fly on the wall at your house everyday! so fun!

amanda torres - Boys are beyond special…and dirty…and well, just boys. But girls, they melt your heart. You’re very blessed to have such a brood of boys, and a sweet chunk of a girl.

Susanne - AMEN!

Tracie - So cute! My son spent a lot of time in his big sister’s purple dress up dress. It’s cool that the typical boy/ girl boundaries are crossed when you have some of each!

Jamie - I love this post! My favorite part was the very last picture and Big Brother’s prayer. Just too cute.

Cate O'Malley - oh my gosh, nearly too cute for words – love them all!

Yuliana - Great pictures, you captured the best moments.
Your children are adorable!

haley - I cant hyper link this for some reason… Little sister needs to have these!!! have you seen them yet! there are limited edition Demin diapers in stores June and July-we have them already in WI!!!

Sarah - adorable pics! your kids are so lucky to have each other!

Anna Joy - That is soooo precious, cute, awesome, amazing! And Biggest Bro’s prayer is awesome. Your family is too cool

Erin - I love this post!!! I am cracking up at the Spiderman mask, that is awesome…

karen davis - such a fun post!! Love all the photos, and especially love big brother’s prayer!

keely - What a great post! I especially love the picture of her and biggest brother- great expressions!

Tess S. - biggest brother just made this momma cry. not hard.. considering this pregnancy makes me cry over everything.

my sweet little boy will be 2 in september and only says 3 or 4 words. last night for the first time after saying grace before dinner he said “amen” and again after prayers before bed time. that’s the stuff that makes your heart melt.
beautiful.

amy.bramer@gmail.com - i love the spiderman mask, too funny. i don’t know who is luckier, the boys for having a baby sister or her for having a little band of brothers. great photos!

Shannon - What a sweet post. As always Little Sister is deliciously adorable! I love sibling love, it makes me so happy, to see the carefree love of children for one another! Very precious!

bopha - i love it, i can’t wait for our little girl to get loved on by her big brothers. Lincoln is already so excited, he wants to hug every little baby girl that he sees.

Alba - Amen! whenever you have finised the Biggest Brother Bible, please, send me a copy!

raychel - ADORABLE pictures. You have beautiful children! I am an only girl with 6 brothers, and had a blast growing up! Seeing these pictures makes me think back to my childhood so much! Your daughter will grow up to be one tough cookie!!

Corey Moortgat - Your photos look like my house around here. My 9 month old daughter has two older brothers as well. I’ve got so many cute girl toys for her, yet she goes for the monster trucks and hotwheels since that’s what her brothers are playing with! I guess it’s inevitable, although I sure hope she finds her girly side eventually- I need a playmate,too!

kristiina - What a lucky little girl! The boys are lucky, too ;)

couple of things

1. I know a lot of you have been asking questions in the comments sections and I haven’t answered any of those. I am sorry…it is summer and jumping in the sprinkler with the boys is taking a priority. Sorry. I will do another Q & A post soon, so you can ask away on…

J. ;) - ? would you mind sharing how you make your collages? :) thank you for your time!!!!
Happy weekend!!!

Liz - You know what girl…..I break composition rules a lot too. And I know that it really irratates some people. As a photographer I strive to capture emotion. That is what is important to me. I love that about your pictures too. You always seem to capture the moment and to me that is more important than composition!!!

Melissa W - You do wonderful, amazing work – regardless of “rules”, what works WORKS! :) Keep up the inspiring work!

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Your phototgraphy is AMAZNIG! It doesn’matter if it is technically correct. It is inspiring and genuine and lovely.

You rock!
