Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm Ashley, a lover of photography, reality TV, chihuaha's, and fancy iced coffee. I'm a wife to my wonderful husband Jordan and a mommy to my beautiful little girl Sophia...and we can't forget my little furbaby Lola. I was always "that girl with a camera" and I think anyone who knows me can vouch that I've pretty much grown up with a camera in my face. I fell in love with taking photos and I've been so blessed to be able to actually call this my job!

I am a natural light photographer in the Dayton, Ohio area. Thank you for stopping by!

Lindsey + Kyle | Dayton, Ohio Engagement Photographer

Lindsey & Kyle are getting married on News Year Eve 2010/2011 and we are so excited for this wedding! Lindsey really wanted her engagement pictures to have the same feel as their wedding day, so a night time engagement shoot was definitely in order! It was COLD and I'm pretty sure none of us could feel our fingers or toes afterward but we still had a good time with the two of you. Here's are a couple from this session!

Jessica + Jeff | Dayton, Ohio Engagement Photographer

A new post! Well, the pictures aren't exactly new since this was shot back in November...but I'm finally trying to catch up a little bit of my blogging.

Jessica and I are old friends and I hadn't seen her in so long, so Jordan and I were really looking forward to this shoot. They are so natural in front of the camera which made for a very easy, laid back session. We had a great time catching up with you two and we're looking forward to more fun times in the future.

Here's a couple of my favorites!

2010 Prices

2010 is finally here, and with the new year, I’m launching new pricing! This new price list goes into effect as of January 31st, 2010 and is a bit of an increase. I will be honoring the current price list through the remainder of January. If you want to book at those rates, contact me right away so we can reserve your date! To hold your date, and lock in the most current 2009 prices, I require a deposit to reserve your date and a signed contract by the end of this month. There are still a few 2010 dates available!

I'm really looking forward to the new year and all of the adventures to come! Thank you to all of the wonderful clients who have made all of this possible. 

As always, a post isn't a post without a picture! Here is a photo from a recent boudoir session with a very beautiful woman, inside and out.

P.S.

I promise new stuff is coming soon! I've been a very very very bad blogger!

Recap

The blog's been looking pretty lonely lately! Not because things have been slow...but because I have been so busy that I don't even have time to blog! I promise there's lots of fun sessions from the past month coming soon.

What a year 2009 has been! It's been filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. The birth of our daughter definitely tops the list of high-highs :) I can't believe I haven't posted one picture of her yet!

I have learned a lot this year and a lot of changes have been made. For one, my husband Jordan is now my offical second-shooter. Not to make you gag, but we make a great team :) Secondly, we did increase prices a bit. People have been practically begging me to raise my prices. I hesitated because I was worried that other's wouldn't think that I was worth it and no one would want to hire me. It's turned out to be the complete opposite and I feel really good about this change!

I'm *really* looking forward to 2010. So much fun stuff in store! And because I hate having posts without pictures, here's a quick photo of a very handsome little man from one of our recent sessions:
