Braving the elements with the Gassers...

Okay, props to this family. They were such troopers for this session. So cold. We were lucky to squeeze it in before it snowed 3 inches the next day! Seriously, these kids were so freezing. I felt so bad. But, alas...it was worth it. Normally, I wouldn't recommend an on-location shoot in the middle of January with children of these ages, but Brooklyn's husband is only here for a little while before he heads back to Afghanistan, so they made it happen. So sweet. He's here enjoying his cute family and his newborn son. They're all adorable and fun, as you can tell. Thanks for the freezing good time!

just....gorgeous

I hope Belinda doesn't mind me posting these here. I just had to.

Beautiful. Inside and out.

And you should know, I solicited her in taking these. I needed a few more for a video I'm working on, and she was the perfect gal for the job. I snuck these of her in between.... And with that "expectant glow" in her eyes to boot... I love them.

Winter Ball 2010

Taking the H.S. dance pictures is always an adventure. This attempt was no exception. Coincidentally, for me it was the same weekend as an unfortunate food poisoning bout, but alas, I mustered enough "chipper" to get the job done. They were really fun to work with and appeared to be having a joyous time preparing for the Snow Ball. Here are some highlights. Until Sweethearts....see ya!

TDAshby & co.

Back in December when all the Ashby clan was together, we gathered for an exciting evening of family photos. We went through a lot of Smarties that night. This is the largest non-extended family I've done in while. It was funny as I placed them... just when I thought I had everyone framed in, I turned around and there were two more kids!! Love you guys! I hope you like these.
