Chilango & Julia

Yesterday Evan and I had the pleasure of working with Chilly and Julia on their special day! We started off taking getting ready shots at Four Points in Thorold than went to Hernder for their beautiful ceremony and reception.
As hot as it was out there, we captured some great images, these two and their bridal party did an awsome job working it.
Evan and I wish you both nothing but many years filled with love, health and happiness.

It's offical we tied the knot

This past Saturday Evan and I tied the knot. It had to be one of the most amazing days that I have ever had. Planning wasn't always easy and seemed like it took forever to get here. But once it was here it was gone in a flash, now I really see what my bride's go through when they are doing their planning. For my clients weddings I like to blend in but when I was on the other end of that lens everything was so different.

I have put my business and it's needs on hold for a while so I can put my focus into my clients and well the wedding. Now that it Evan and I are finally married I will be doing a lot of changes.. such as a new business name, marketing and mainly a fancy website YAY I am so excited.
So keep your eyes peeled for the next month or two for the new and fun changes that will be happening.

Thanks for all of your love and support!

Mitch & Leslie with their little man Gavyn

I met Leslie many moons ago, and for the past few years she's been my amazing hair dresser and friend. So a few weeks ago Leslie and Mitch with their adorable little man to capture some engagement and family picture's before their big day in August. Gavyn was such a little ham and loved the camera! at one point he crawled over to me to get a close up... too bad fingers don't work so well on the lens. Evan and I are looking forward to their big day!

Cory & Jessica- Married!

Cory and Jessica tied the knot this past Saturday. It was such a beautiful day for a beautiful couple. I have been working with them for over a year, and each time I see them I have a blast! These two people are a fine example on why I love doing what I do so much. There is nothing greater than working with a couple that you can click right away with, have fun and be yourself. I am so in love with their photo's and I know Cory will be in his glory when he see's one of his images on the website.. Yes Cory the front :) I had their engagement picture on the front of my website for a while and he was so proud..so through out the day he kept telling me " This one right here Ash is the website shot!" I also can not be more proud of Evan, he did such an amazing job as well. He comes up with some great idea's and works with the bridal party while I am off working with the couple or vise versa. I was so happy to see how much his work has been improving and the great images that he captured. Here are a few images from their special day. I wish this awsome couple nothing but love, health and happieness for a life time.

Jacob & Lauren

One of the members from my mommy and me group.. (Yes folks I am in a mommy and me group, which I really should start attending more often) contacted me to have a session with her adorable little ones Jacob and Lauren. I woke up that morning and thinking YES.. Its nice and sunny out, seeing it was raining a for a few days before. Both of them where a bit shy at first, but they came around and when the local stray cat came over to see the knew people in his hood, they loved him up and the smiles came out. Now I know why we keep feeding that cat :) Here are a few shots from their session.

Jenn & Steve: E-Session

One of my wedding couples came out the other day for an awsome e-session. I loved just about every photo in their collection.. so it was so hard to narrow down my favorite.
These two love birds are so much in love.. I would ask them to stand or sit somewhere and I turn on my camera and the moment shot was always right there. Jenn afterwards told me she wasn't to sure what to expect, because they never had a e-session before and was a bit nervous. They both had a great time and loved their photo's. They brought along there baby Maggie who is a lab. She was a great sport for getting a few photo's taken, but was more interested in running around in the wind and jumping in the puddles.
I can not wait until their wedding in July!

A day with Bryson & Tom

I tell you I can believe what a difference a year makes. This time last year Bryson was just sitting in the grass.. and not moving. Now he's up and running here, there and just about every where.

Last week our wedding photographer and friend came on by to show me a few things. With that being said we needed a model.. and well Bryson had his schedule free I offered him to hang around with mommy and Tom to get some photo's taken. I had a blast, when Bryson had enough of our camera's he went for his beauty sleep. I am not going to lie.. it has to be one of my favorite time of the day. Tom, Evan and I jsut sat back by the canal and hung out for abit. Here is Tom's website if you wanted to see some of his work, and his shots of my little B

Here are some shots that I took of Bryson

A Mother's Day session

Alex had set up a special photo session for her sister and her mom as a Mother's Day gift from the girls to their mom. These girls where a blast.. and in the one shot you can see how much fun they have as a family. Take a look at a few of their shots

Jen & Family

I had the pleasure of doing some cool shots with Jen and her family. She request me to take picture's of her little girl, but wanted some family shots done.. okay it can be done. But she mentioned that she wanted them done in their superman capes. Now how cool is that? When setting up my clients sessions, I always mention to them that they are more than welcome to bring in their own "Props" something that means a lot to their child, or granny hand made a special blanket. I find that it's those small personal touches really make a family shot stand out.
Take a look at a few of their shots.

The Lutomski's

If you go scroll down a bit you will find a past client named Vanessa. She booked a Easter shoot with her two adorable children Owen & Maddie. A few weeks later she had asked me to book her in for a e-session as she and her future hubby will be getting hitched June 27th 2009.

Well after all of Vanessa's sessions, one of her good friend Jessica contacted me to do a session with her and her family. Henri is the baby of the family... he was laughing and full of smiles for myself and the camera! I love it when you just look at a child and they just smile. Jacob is the big brother, he is a cutie and such a little man. One point during the shoot, there was a caretaker mowing the lawn and that's all he wanted to do.. was watch him cut the grass. I tell you, if I was brave enough to go and ask him if Jacob could get some shots taken in the lawn mower I would have. I had a great time with the Lutomski clan.. you can see the love and bond of the family during the photo session and I was so happy to see that I captured some of their family moments.

Blog tardiness

Hey everyone, I must tell you all that I am so sorry about not being able to keep up with my blog.
A few weeks ago I had a few shoots in one week,so I was putting in orders, editing and all of that fun stuff and with my wedding in 20 more days it's been keeping me pretty busy.

I am just going to put up a few updates, please keep in mind, that I do have a facebook group page which gets updated faster than this here blog. After the wedding my focus and energy will be put back into my work to build and improve my business :) YAY.
