Covington Mini's

Last weekend was INSANE!  I had 12 mini-sessions, 1 full maternity session and 2 weddings!  It was CRAZY!  I've been an editing fool since we got back, and its time to update the blog!  Anyway, here are the first 3 sessions from last weekend.  I had some super cute kids and some really fun families come out to make it an awesome morning.  I'm so blessed with fabulous clients.  I hope you enjoy! :)

Here is sweet Will! :)

And the family.  

 I adore this one! :)

This next little cutie made me work hard to get some good shots of him in our limited time, but I think we accomplished it and got a few keepers!  He was precious in this little outfit, but he just didn't love my chasing him with my camera! ;)

I love the composition of this one and how he looks just like a little man! :) 

And lastly for today...

You saw this sweet girl a few months back as a tiny newborn and look with a beautiful baby girl she has turned into!!! :)

I think this is my favorite family shot from their session.  Didn't Mama do a good job coordinating everyone's outfits? :) 

I think this one is SO sweet! 

CUTE! ;) 

Ok!  Keep checking back...there is SOOOO much more to come!

Santa Claus is coming to town...In NOVEMBER!!!

If you are tired of the standard, ordinary, traditional pictures with Santa Claus we have the PERFECT solution for you.  ADP will be throwing a Christmas Portrait Party on November 6th in Covington where an authentic (no fake beard here!) Santa will be available to take pictures with you, your children, or your whole family.  To attend there will be a $15 session fee which will include an 8X10 of your favorite image with the option of buying more prints at reduced rate packages which all include a disc of images for printing for gifts and Christmas cards.
You will have the option of taking family pictures around a tree, a decorated fireplace, or other Christmas scenery as well as having pictures done with Santa.  If you are interested in having pictures with Santa, you may have 2 times slots (one for Santa and one for family pictures).
This will all take place in a fun, exciting, welcoming atmosphere to get you in the mood for Christmas!
Packages for this special event will be at a reduced rate and will include images on disc for you to use as presents or to make Christmas cards with.  There is a VERY limited number of spots available for this and your $15 session fee is non-refundable and must be paid in advance to reserve your spot, so contact me soon at ashleighdeesphotography@hotmail.com, or at 770-715-1723.  Here are a few from our Santa shoot last year to get you in the spirit!  :)

This is a great opportunity for your kids to have a fun, personal, priceless memory with Santa!  Contact me soon to get your spot!

Sweet, Sleepy Samantha!

I was able to go take some pictures of this adorable, perfect newborn yesterday.  She was wide awake when I got there, but fell our very quickly (while I was unloading my stuff), and made for an amazing baby to photograph.  We opted to go outside in their fabulous yard, plus I love natural light, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these images.  Enjoy!

She let me play LOTS of dress up! :)

We got some cute family shots too...

Back to the star of the shoot: 

I took some heat in for this next one during my critique section of my photography class for all the "wasted space," but I love how tiny and precious she looks in the middle of all the yard.

Big sister Bekah wasn't feeling all of the accessories I kept putting on Samantha! :)

One of my new favorites.  I love this family photo! :)

Congrats on this perfect, precious, baby girl!  I hope to see more of her soon! :)

Pretty in Pink AND Full Term!

Holly will be welcoming sweet baby Katie ANY day now.  I can remember when she was first pregnant (and in denial) complaining with all her symptoms at work, and now she is almost ready!  She was exactly 37 weeks yesterday when we met up (in the extreme heat) to do her shoot.  She was a trooper, so laid back, and just ready to be a mama.  I can't wait for her sweet one to make her entrance so I can go play with her!  Good luck, Holly!  We can't wait to meet her!  

I SO love this one...

I'm feeling the vintage finish with this shirt.  It just works! :)

Ok, Sweet Katie.  Mama's maternity pictures are up.  You can make your appearance now! :) 

WRAP UP M-Ville Portrait Party

Here are the last 3 sessions of the day.  Again, more beautiful, fun people.  Enjoy! 

Check out these Ah-DORABLE twins.  They were so fun to work with and SUPER-DUPER cute!

They are just TOO CUTE!

The next pair were SO much fun.  They were both working it for my camera and made my job easy and I had a great time during my 20 minutes with these 2!  I hope to see them again soon! 

Meet Miss Kaitlyn

And here she is with her pretty Mama.

And she knows how to "work it" for the camera...

but let's face it...she gets its honest!  :)

My fav from their session: 

Our last session was Miss Peyton and her sweet mama Maggie.  They were a great way to finish up the morning.  

Oh, yes...she is super cute!

I love this one! :)
