The Snow Queen

I believe everyone should push themselves beyond their comfort zone, the farther the better. This is where growth comes, this is where you find those new little pieces of yourself that weren’t visible before. Growing up I would not consider myself to be creative, I could not close my eyes and picture that final product, and my uneducated or practiced efforts were not so pretty. Instead of trying I LIED to myself. I said “You are not creative.” That one lie stayed put for YEARS, even into my first year of business. I know now how silly that was of me. I am creative, my art is beautiful, I have worked REALLY freaking hard to get to where I am, this is not a little thing, this is a really really big beautiful thing. And it only happened because I told myself the truth. “I am creative” and then believed it.

We hiked, were blown around by wind, poured on by the rain, and it was all amazing. So thankful for those willing to brave the elements to make something amazing. @abigailschaaf7 I cannot wait to capture your wedding day ♡

MELI + KYLE // IN-HOME COUPLES SESSION

I met Meli + Kyle in their West Lethbridge home and immediately fell in love with them, and their incredible rose gold beautifully styled home as you will see below. These two are very clearly best friends, and just so madly in love with each other. Keep scrolling to see a little bit of the absolute magic we created together.

I will leave you with one more thing before you check these out (or for after you’ve checked them out). Melani has the most amazing online boutique called Ash + Antler (CLICK HERE) to do a little shopping, I honestly want ALL of the incredible clothing she carries.

OK OK no feast your eyes on these two beautiful humans.

Ok now tell me that these two aren’t perfect.

OLIVIA // IN-HOME NEWBORN SESSION

This beautiful in-home newborn session took place in Coaldale, Alberta in the most beautiful home. Something about newborn sessions, and the little details just grabs my heart and holds on tight. Sweet Olivia is so loved, and it shows in each image. I’ll stop talking now so you can look at all this goodness.

Playful + Romantic in home couples session - Lethbridge Alberta

Emily + Kurtis’ in-home session, Lethbridge Alberta

Love is the most beautiful freaking thing in this world.

One of my favorite parts about working with couples is getting to know their story. How they met, little quirks, just anything I can learn about them. It not only translates my images from a simple image into artwork that holds memories. But it allows us to connect and have actual conversations during each session. In the end giving them something that they will look back on and treasure.

The love between Emily and Kurtis is real, and these images you are about to see will give you a little peak at it. Their home is absolutely adorable, and oh my gosh their cat.. (You can’t even tell how much Kurtis didn’t want to be doing this.)

I suck with words so lets just get on with it.

so basically, if you could fill my schedule up with sessions like this and i’ll be forever grateful.

xx,

Ashley
