Oh gosh. I can’t believe I’m actually typing this, but I finally did it. I created an actual ASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHER Facebook page. I swore to myself I would never do it until I hit my friends limit on Facebook because I just didn’t see the point. I felt kind of weird asking people to be…

It has been a ridiculously and unexpectedly busy week. So busy in fact that it’s now Friday afternoon and I’m realizing I haven’t blogged all week. Oh the perfectionistic guilt! And what’s even worse is that this week hasn’t been filled with multiple trips to the gym. In fact, because of last’s week session with…

It’s only 12:30p but today is already a great day. It’s a fabulous 73 degrees, a cool breeze is streaming through my windows and I’m waiting for the UPS buy to deliver a package. And let’s face it, even when I’m the one who ordered the package, I’m always excited when it arrives regardless of…
I figured it out pretty quickly. And although I didn’t think it was possible, I was so happy I’d finally found a bride who loves wedding design as much if not more than I do. So when Kaitlin told me she wanted to get her wedding featured on Style Me Pretty, I was excited at…
