I don’t have the exact numbers, but this year my church hosted about 16,000 people on campus last Sunday and gave away toys for 5,700 kids. We have hosted the local Toys for Tots event for several years now and I think it is safe to say this was the biggest year thus far. The families were entertained by a great show then the kids headed off to a party while the parents did a little shopping. It is an amazing event to be a part of…
Chris brightened my cold, dreary day. Really I guess I should say I hate winter in this area of the country. I lived in Hawaii for a bit…I liked winter there. I hate cold weather. I hate brown trees and dead grass. I hate dressing in layers. I would trade playing in the snow for swimming in a pool any day. I would also trade hot chocolate for and iced latte…snow boots for flipflops…cuddling under a blanket for playing under the sun. Really anything you can name about winter - I can give you a summer counterpart I prefer. And that was before I had kids…now throw 3 boys age 4 and under to the mix and I AM DONE WITH THIS WEATHER. I think it is time to move back to Hawaii…I was meant to live walking distance from a warm, sunny beach.
I feel the exact same way! Winter weather and I don’t get along very well!
that is why you need to live inSouthern California. I think I wear socks for about 2 months and the rest of the time is in flip flops. Although we have had our cold days (high of 50 degrees which means it is time to pull out the winter coat) I like the fact that I just wear a sweater and I am good.
I think that you would miss your boys so much if you moved back to Hawaii. But I would bring them to visit you every other month or so!!!
What a sweet hubby! I totally agree, I’m sick of the cold already. I didn’t mind it when I was younger and snow days meant no school but now that I’m a working girl, they don’t cancel work for snow. Now there are no benefits from the cold.
Nothing can beat feel of the wind hitting your face as you fly down the slopes, or the joy of making a big snow fort and having a huge snowball fight! Nothing is better than curling up by a fire in a blizzard and having hot chocolate and a good book. And you can’t beat extreme sledding; feeling the rush and wondering when you’re going to crash. You’ve got to admit, winter is pretty great - at least in WY! 
I feel the same way. A day by the pool or at the beach is a g-r-e-a-t day. I haven’t been to Hawaii yet but I’m afraid I wouldn’t want to come back ever.
Beautiful flowers! I agree… I’m tired of this cold weather and ready for some warmer days. I would rather be on a beach, too.
I’m with you…I HATE winter, too! I was meant to live by the beach so I’m not sure how I ended up in Oklahohma
A couple of posts back Charissa left a comment asking for some ideas on how to display pictures and kid’s artwork. Well the weekend got away from me, but I was able to photograph a couple from my house. I have a few others to share, but I have to finish painting some walls before I get them hung so that will have to wait. I am constantly changing what is on my walls and my kids are constantly coming up with great artwork I want to display. Traditional frames don’t work to good for me…and the constant change. Both of these are pretty simple, don’t cost much and are super easy to change out.
The first is in the boy’s room. I took simple wood clipboards and nailed them to the walls. The boys pick what pictures they want and they can display their artwork or letters from friends. In our old house I covered a hallway wall from top to bottom with clipboards…fun for a hallway.
The second is in Rett’s room. I bought wood pant hangers from Walmart and hung the pictures using those. I mounted my pictures on syrene board, but you can do something similar at home by using spray adhesive and matboard. You don’t need a peg rail to do this, you could nail decorative knobs, nails, hooks, etc. to the wall and hang from those. This could also look really fun in a long hallway. I actually have the onesie Rett wore home from the hospital also hanging by this type of hanger in his room…endless possibilities. Just to answer the questions now…that is me one week before I had Rett and again when he was 1 week old.
And finally here is a collection of more ideas for ways to display artwork or pictures. The examples use both art and pictures, but I think all of them could go either way…
Cork Lamp by Something’s Hiding in Here
DominoMag has an entire online gallery of ideas - love these
Photojojo Re-stickable Wall Decal Photo Frames
UrbanOutfitters Picture Window
Camp Creek Blog’s Plexi Glass room divider - this link also links to several other great ideas
Thank you Ashley! The funny thing, I was thinking about clipboards, but I had never seen it done before and worried it might look cheesy. Thanks for confirming that I’m not cheesy after all!
By the way, love mommy/baby photos. I always wondered who takes photos of YOU. And how did you squeeze into your jeans so quick??!!!
Chris took both of those photos….I try not to ask him too often because I can be a pain about it. Those are the same pair of jeans…maternity stretch
What great ideas! So simple, yet so creative!
Thanks for the tips Ash! I actually have the photojojo wall decal frames and I love them! They are very affordable for as many as you get.
Okay, so a little off subject, but I couldn’t help but notice how neatly your top bunk was made. I’m wondering how you accomplish that?? Would you recommend bunk beds??
Mandy, I am a fan of the bunkbeds. The boys really enjoy them. The orange blanket is only fixed neatly for pictures or company…usually it is hanging from a side to make a fort for the boys. Our rooms aren’t very big, so it saves space. It does get old climbing into the top bunk every night to pray and cuddle with Corbett….but worth it!
these are such good ideas! love the clip boards. so easy. and guess what i kept that my grandma was trying to throw out? old hangers like yours! i loved them and knew i could use them somewhere somehow. now i know.
great links too.
of course.
love the pants hangers!!
I haven’t had time to do one of these posts in a while. I have not made or bought one Christmas gift!!!!! I am so behind! I fully intend to make a lot of my gifts, looks like I need to get busy. Here are some fun ideas for gifts or gift related things:
“Recycled” Cake Stands by Kate via Design*Sponge
Pom Pom gift toppers by Creature Comforts
Flower Pinwheel free download by Heather Bailey - cute for girls
Candy Coins by Martha Stewart - fun stocking stuffer for kids learning about money
Handmade Ornaments using capice shells by Spagat (found via Bloesem)
There was a comment asking for some ideas on different ways to display pictures and kids artwork. I am working on that post and will hopefully share it on Monday…
A few people asked where we did Santa pictures at…Bass Pro Shops is the answer. This is our second year to do it there and I’ll keep going every year they offer it. Santa is so nice, he’s got a real beard. This year he sits in front of his house with reindeer behind him. There is also an entire Wonderland around him with tons to do for kids. They have all kinds of games and everything is free including the picture. I love that they let parents bring their own cameras and take as many as they want…much better than a blurry $15.00 mall pic. We went on a Monday night and it was empty. The Wonderland is open during the days and is empty, but Santa is only there in the evenings. It has been a fun thing to get out of the house in the cold weather for us. We don’t really make a deal about Santa, the boys know the story of Saint Nicholas and that “Santa” isn’t real….but the pictures every year are a fun decoration in the house. Yes, I will make them do it as teenagers - they’ll love me! I figure they’ll go through the “I hate this” phase and then they do something goofy like dress like elves or something…either way it shows their personality at that age
Thanks for all the kind & thoughtful comments and emails this week. You don’t know how much I appreciate it!
Love it! He looks so little with Santa!
I love it! I wonder why Santa has such a scary effect on the little ones…
What a great memeroy to show him when he is older! So darn cute. We have a photo like this of our oldest with Santa when she was about Rett’s age. I love all the crafts you do with your boys. Do you have any EASY Christmas crafts to share?
Ashley,
I wondered if you would mind doing a post about creative ways to display your kids’ photographs and art work. Being a homeschool mom of 5 kids I have more than my fair share of art work floating around. I like the idea of hanging them up but don’t want so many holes in my walls. I thought if anyone could help, it would be you.
Charissa,
I saw an idea somewhere (I think on Oprah) of putting carpet squares on your wall in a grid pattern and then attaching the artwork to the carpet squares…I wonder if something like that would work.
I’m not creative a
classic
his face is certainly classic but so cute!
Frustrated with your point-and-shoot you made the investment in a dslr and still aren’t getting the shots you hoped for? Are you stuck in the automatic mode? Do the words ‘aperture’, ’shutter speed’, ‘ISO’ and ‘exposure’ sound like a foreign language to you, but one you would like to learn to speak? SnapShop is just for you. I would love to spend a Saturday to help you go from knowing how to take a picture to understanding the basics of photography to enable you to beautifully capture the moments of your life.
What you will need to attend: a dslr camera…that’s it
A few things we’ll cover:
The basics of photography - what you need to shoot in manual
General Rules of Composition
Lighting: How to get great indoor and outdoor shots
How to capture moments, not poses
2 Live mini-shoots (one inside, one outside)
Q&A times with me
Hands-on practice throughout the day
Breakfast, lunch, dinner
I will offer several workshops depending on demand. Each workshop will be limited to 8-10 participants. It will last all day one Saturday and will take place in the late spring and early summer 2009, exact dates to be announced. Fall workshops are a possibility if there is an interest. So what you really want to know…how much? Each workshop will be $199.00 and will include everything (including meals). How can you sign up? When a SnapShop date is announced on the blog it will be a first to email gets the slot basis. I won’t be announcing any dates until the spring.
I am really excited about this. I am pumped to get to spend several Saturdays a year helping others learn how to get great photographs of their kids (or whatever else!). If you saw my post yesterday, you know I love the day to day pictures of my kids. Those are the ones I treasure…those are the type of pictures I want to help others get everytime, not just by accident. I hope you all are excited too!
***shout-out to my sis for my killer SnapShop logo. Don’t you love how the bird looks like it just floated in and landed Check out her blog, she posted a cinammon recipe that is hands-down the best cinammon rolls I have ever had. Hands down. I’m drooling thinking about them.
i am IN.
i want you to teach me about manual shooting. i never do it. never have. and i want you you to teach me to be fabulous.
so where do i sign up?
serious.
i am IN!!!
Thanks for the shout out sister. Glad you like the logo and I can’t wait for one of your classes!!!
Sounds like a great opportunity. I would be interested. P.S. I think you meant 2009 instead of 2008.
I am so excited! I hope I am fast enough to get in one of your classes!
This sounds sooo awesome!!!! Thank you for your willingness to help us learn
I’ll be there!!!!
I love it, and I will hopefully be at the first one!
I’m one of those people who lurches around your blog but never leaves any comments! I’m totally addicted to your DIY ideas and all your beautiful pics. Are you going to offer any advanced classes or private sessions?
So excited! I’m glad you are able to make this transition in life. Kids grow up way too fast and I’m glad you are able to take a different route with your business that is a win win for you, your family and us! Can’t wait to sign up!
Ashley, how exciting…I wish you the best in this new venture!!! Thanks so much for including me on your list!
I hope I get in the first class!!
I would love to be a part of that!
Well Ashley, looks like you have quite a line formed already for your workshop! Congrats! I, too would love to come as well. I just bought a Nikon D300, stepped up from my Canon Rebel and have used the Nikon just a little. Would love to come to a workshop that works with a weekend that i’m off from work. Can’t wait to see you again. Still receiving compliments on the wedding pictures. Everyone just loves them. I’d love to be able to give that gift to a bride, as you did for me. Congrats again on the change. Take care and hope to see you soon!
Definitely want to come to one!
Your blog and images have been inspiring me for several months. Photography is a new passion for me and I’m so sad to have just recently realized that you are miles away. Your offering of classes is just exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s like you were talking directly to me in the first paragraph of today’s blog. Good luck to you in this new, exciting endeavor. Thanks for the advice and ideas you’ve offered and thank you for trying to help me snap shots that might look a little more like the ones you snap…not much, but it’s a start. My quest for a local photographer that would be willing to do what you are doing, is on.
Lesley — great logo! I love how it has a retro feel.
Love it. Noble’s first time with Santa looked like this. Where did you take this? We normally get our picture with Santa at Kelly’s work party for kids, but didn’t get to go this year.
I am just now catching up on all the news. Exciting for you… taking a new direction. Time goes by way too quick… you will never regret the decision for extra time w/ your precious boys. I will totally be coming to one of your workshops… Hopefully your summer workshop will be after July 1st. If not, hopefully you can have one in the fall. Miss you.
I definitely want to come and I will wrestle anyone for their spot….so save me one
can’t wait!!
I just got my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XS) and am enjoying it already! I just know there are so many things to learn! I would LOVE to sign up for your class! I will watch daily to make sure I get in!
Well this is a long post….I am going to begin with some of my favorite family pictures from the last couple of years….
Hudson (10 months) being tickled by Chris
Hudson’s first bike ride
Corbett kickin’ it on his tricycle
Hudson at his 1st birthday - when I took him away from the cupcake
Corbett playing in the rain…he’s often serious even in play
When we moved into our house we had to add dirt to the yard….a boy’s heaven
Corbett & Hudson playing in a box

This summer the boys loved eating breakfast in the backyard
Hudson playing at the park
So you are probably wondering what so many family pictures have to do with changes to my business…here goes. The pictures above are random moments I had my camera nearby and was able to capture. The boys aren’t dressed up in any, they aren’t posed in any….just my boys being themselves. They are the pictures that remind me of who they were at a particular age. I can look at these pictures and remember things they loved, what they did, who they were. It is pictures like this that I love to take and what I want to empower others to do. So what is the big change? Starting in 2009 Ashley Ann Photography will no longer offer portrait sessions, but instead will focus on teaching the basics of photography to others and helping local photographers grow their businesses. Simply stated….I am no longer offering sessions to current or new clients. I do have a few in 2009 that were booked months ago, but other than those I will not be offering sessions. You can now find under the “info” tab at the top of the blog a page listing local photographers. If you are a local photographer and want your name added, shoot me an email. As far as the teaching aspect goes…check back tomorrow for the official announcement and information.
I am totally pumped about this change, but I know many of you are not. I am fully aware that many of you were planning on emailing me in January to get on a new client list….I apologize for any disappointment this causes. If you are a current client and haven’t checked your email today - you are probably shocked by this. Please go check your email (spam folder too).
I love photography and I have been abundantly blessed by the friendships I have now as a result. I am also crazy about my family and am looking forward to no longer doing an endless juggling act between the two. I’ll still be posting on the blog…some charitable work, previously booked sessions, a couple of weddings, and so on. Thanks for your support and please check back tomorrow….the fun news will be posted then
My sister compared this to finding out The Gap no longer sells clothes….made me laugh, but I know some of you are pretty bummed. Sorry to start your Monday off rough, but the good news is it is also like finding out The Gap is going to teach you how to make their clothes! Okay, bad comparison but you get the idea
Wow! What a brave decision!! All the best and and a request…
Please post more technical stuff with how-to’s and tips for us amateur photographers out there aspiring to take better pictures (don’t think I’ll ever be able to equal yours) of our kids!!!
Thanks!
I am so excited for you and your family!! I know this last year has been crazy for you, so I know this is a much needed change for you. Thanks for taking the time to teach some of the rest of us how to capture these special everyday moments with our families! We miss you guys!
What beautiful memories you all have made there! You realize what this means though. All your friends are going to be inviting you over for “playdates”, hoping you’ll bring your camera along. You have been such a blessing to so many families.
You are awesome!! I love and respect you and your decision to be with your family. Time goes by entirely too fast! Thank you for the time and sacrifice you have given us over the past several years. And, thanks for the camera recommendations - I will never be and Ashley, but I plan to try to learn to at least take decent pictures.
Since I am having a new baby I am sad that you will not be taking her picture like you did Brody’s, however I can totally understand why you are doing this! Family is important and we only have a short time with them while they are young! You are a great photographer and I look foward to more helpful hints about how I can take better pics of my kids!
I am so proud of you. Congratulations on beginning this new chapter full of crazy, messy, beautiful memories! We love you.
Ash, good for you and your family for doing what is best for the five of you, so important. I hope 2009 is a year full of amazing memories!
huh?
i look forward to hearing more….
all those pictures were amazing. it’s similar to how we did christmas cards last year. all our favorite pics of the year - i think there were like 80? but it was a fun collage.
i am disappointed…boo- hoo poor me.
i hope you will still post lots and lots of pictures….of whoever. it’s just fun to see and be inspired.
i know what you are saying about juggling. i feel a bit a stress already and i am barely into it. it makes me feel a bit tense. and i don’t like that part.
feel free to send me your post early for tomorrow so i can read it first. ha.
must get busy. december is ridiculous.
People will always need pictures taken, but we only get a few precious years of completely, wonderful babyness (I made that word up LOL!) Breathe in, Breathe out-you did good Momma! I will see you at the boy’s Christmas party! We can set up a playdate now! God is good… All the time.
I honestly don’t know how you have managed to keep it all together since your latest addition to the family. But I am very happy for you in making this decision. I am very much looking forward to the teaching tips for us beginners. Thanks for having a heart to share your ideas and tips and creativeness. There is just so much info out there when learning to use a camera and photographying not to mention the time it takes to decipher it all. It’s great to have someone like you shortcut it for us. God Bless
As one of those who have a draft email ready to be sent on January 1st, 2009–I’m sad! BUUUUTTTTT, as someone who works outside the home & yearns to be home more with my lil’ miss everyday I understand how important those moments are! With that last tip, I tried it this weekend. I got off my butt & tried it! You’ll have to check out my blog to see how I did! SOOOO, I guess it’s a good thing because I want to learn more & look forward to take notes in 2009!
Oh I can’t wait. I wanted you to take pics next yyear, BUT I am excited about tomorrow!!!
I know this year has been tough and I appreciate all the time you’ve spent taking pictures of our kids. Your talent will always be there but your boys will grow up quick! Enjoy spending all the time you can with them. I’m looking forward to learning how to take great pics from you!
Wow! I totally understand your decision. Just today I was thinking about how I don’t take the time to take pictures of my girls anymore. But I am definately going to change that. I think it is awesome that you are going to start teaching others something that you love and are so good at! You better keep posting on your blog! I always look foward to reading it every morning. Thanks for putting me on your list. I appreciate it.
Oh Ash, you are such an amazing and inspiring person to know. Thank you for showing us all how great it is to be true to who you are and to put your family first. I also can’t tell you how appreciative I am for putting us on your list!
It is a sad day for those of us who were anticipating pictures taken by you of our unborn children. Your work is an inspiration and I look forward to participating in one of your snapshops!
Thanks for all the comments yesterday. I’ll try to do more posts like that…lucky for you that means more pictures of 3 handsome boys Chris played the role of Super Dad last night. I am half way living at my church this week to work on The Christmas Gathering. The show is Thurs. & Friday night….Corbett had his school performance at 7:00 last night. The same time The Christmas Gathering began - and I am in charge of the stage! Chris was a rockstar and got all the boys ready, Corbett to the school on time and the other two calmly waiting in seats when I ran in the door at 7:00.
So there are MAJOR, HUGE changes happening at Ashley Ann Photography. If you are a current client check your email early on Monday morning - before you check the blog. Everyone else….check the ole’ blog on Monday…
Here’s a shot of Corb - he’s the one ringing the bells…all the kids in this picture make me smile (esp. yours Sarah)
Corbett looks so cute in his little button-down. Also, great job on the stage Ashley — it was perfect. Very classy. Your hard work was totally worth it.
This picture blessed my heart and embarrassed me a little He played air guitar up there once too!! LOL I love the Christmas programs- and I cried during Silent Night! That was my last Christmas program for that school- so bittersweet. What a wonderful pic thanks for including my baby! LOL
They grow up so fast! He looks like such a big boy!
BTW, Now I am going to be dying to get to my email on Monday! I don’t think I can stand the anticipation!!
Corbett looks so cute, he’s a natural bell ringer! I had no idea you did the stage, it looked gorgeous, I was trying to get a closer look at the magnolia candle holder things that were on the doors, were those just wired on?
Bopha, Thanks for the compliments on the stage! I used glass carafes (Walmart $2.50) and put a candle inside. Then I tied magnolia branches to the carafe using twine. I then tied it to a nail on the back of the door, but you could just as easily use a clear wreath hanger and attach it that way. I should have taken some close up shots of it. Actually, I brought it home to do on my front door….so maybe next week I’ll take some pictures and post..
This picture made my eyes tear up. I love Corbett’s smile, he’s just full of joy! The other kids are so cute too. Really great job on the stage, Ash. I really liked the doors you used and the light backdrop was great. We and we had a blast, can’t wait for next year!
adorable.
MAJOR HUGE changes? oh my.
what could it be?
What a cute picture!! I also love the tip in the post below… for the past two years I have tried to get a good pic of Brody with the tree and they never turn out how you want them to. So I will try this! Now what is your trip on getting your two year old to stay where you want them!! :)*
I thought I’d share a little tip on taking pictures of your kids (or whatever else) in front of the Christmas tree. Most that I see have the child right next to the tree and the picture is taken at night using a flash. I am guessing the reason for taking it at night is to see the lights on the tree. On the pictures below you will see the common way to take tree pictures on the left. On the right, I took this during the middle of the day. Our front window was to a bit behind and to the left of Rett. As you can see the lights still come out great and the lighting on Rett is much more natural.
To do this I recommend:
* Put your child a bit in front of the tree, not right up next to it
* Get natural light on your child’s face. This means you might have to move the tree a bit and put the child between the window and tree with you next to the window - if you don’t have great natural light already
* Use the Av mode (set it to the smallest number) and turn off your flash
Do you find posts like this helpful? Let me know and I’ll try to do more every so often if you like them…
yes, I find this very helpful, Ashley. I love reading your blog! And your family is beautiful!
Ari
Absolutely helpful! Thanks SO much for these wonderful tips! They are GREAT!
Yes! I need all the help I can get.
Rett looks so happy! Thanks for the tips, you’re so talented.
Keep the great tips coming. I really enjoy your website.
Your tips are SO helpful. Thanks!
I definitely agree that the natural light picture looks tons better. Great tip. However, I have to mention that this before and after shot reminds me of the weight loss photos where, in the “before” picture the person is never smiling and then in the “after” picture the person has a huge smile (and usually tons of make-up). Anyway, I thought it was funny that Rett was smiling so big in the “after” picture.
yes yes. love your helpful hints! i’m going to try it!! thanks. yvonne~
I love the feel that all of your images carry. As a photog-hobbyist, I know some about photography, but it’s the little details (like what you have outlined here) that make your images stand out. These techniques are the things that I miss and wouldn’t know without people like you being gracious enough to share. You won’t lose business by telling some of your secrets–Things like this will draw more people to your blog, which in turn can bring MORE clients.
Yes Yes Yes these are so helpful and I feel like such a dork with how excited I get to see photo tip posts! Keep them coming and thank you so much! You are very talented and so generous to share with all us!
We love your tips ASH!
Thanks so much Ashley! It was fun, they are super nice people.
Your little guy is so cute!
Very helpful, except we won’t have a tree this year. Moving the week of Christmas is too much stress. I’ll be doing good to get gifts!! I’m going to have to borrow someone’s tree to take pictures!
I don’t know anything, so here is a dumb question…is the “smallest number” -2 or zero? I love tips and look forward to trying them out?
Yes These are very helpful! I can’t wait to hear about your classes! Keep us posted.
you are a rock star.
so helpful and you will improve so many people’s photos! what a HUGE difference the light makes.
I’m going to have to agree with Rachel on this one. Too funny!
I really love these photo tips. You have such great talent.
This is great! You always have such great tips! Thanks so much for sharing!
Those posts are wonderful, I hope to one day attain photography greatness (although I put my camera on Av mode and have no idea how to adjust it down to the smallest, which is -2).
It is brought to my attention that the Canon Rebel has an Av mode (on the turn dial) and an Av button (on the back). Use the Av that is on the turn dial (which is aperture priority mode if you need to look in your manual). Once you select this you will change the Av number. For most kit lenses (the ones the come with a camera) the smallest number is around 4.0. It will be listed as f/4.0. Anything that goes from -2 to +2 deals with your exposure - a entirely different thing. So check your manual, go to Aperture Priority Mode and choose the smallest f/#. Mine were shot at f/2.8. If your lens only goes to f/4.0, you will need to buy a different lens to get a smaller number.
Thanks for the last explanation…I ordered the lens you told me about the other night. I hope you don’t get tired of my silly questions! Can you just sign me up now for the class???? Just kidding - but you know I need it!
very cool.
it looks HUGE! what an awesome event. it looks overwhelming to me.
I love the pictures! I saw Chris Hyslop taking pictures and he told me he asked your permission to take pictures - I thought that was cute. I didn’t see any pictures of crazy ladies making taco soup for 450 people!!
These pictures make me smile…a true picture of what TCABC is all about. And in response to Jeanette….those pictures would have been frightening. By 1 o clock Cindy had a least three taco soup stains on her shirt…delicious food, not so great pictures.
Denise’s shirt looked worse than Cindy’s - she put an apron on to cover it!!
