Portraits of my children

by Ashley filed under Hooper, Photography, Van
I opted to photograph Willy for the 52 week project this year for a lot of reasons. For one, men are often neglected in the baby blog world. I wanted to pay tribute to Willy and all he represents. Additionally, I photograph my children endlessly. I have more than a portrait a week to share of each of them and dedicating an additional post each week seemed redundant. In any event, these are some portraits of my little guys from the past few weeks that I wanted to share. Find yourself wondering if our children are ever in clothes? The answer is sometimes, but more often than not, rarely (less laundry). And yes, we tucked Hooper’s tank into his undies and then we giggled about it. And his little bird legs? They kill me too. Just like his Papa.

His & Hers

by Ashley filed under Photography
I decided to post another edition of His & Hers (an Instagram lovefest) in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. Today’s power instagram couple is from Ann Arbor, Michigan. She’s a graphic designer and letterpress artist; the Primary Designer for Kinfolk Magazine. He’s in law school. They are Amanda Jane and Cree Lane Jones. And, oh ya, she’s pregnant. You can find them on instagram under @amandajanejones and @creelanejones.
Their images are warm and rich and make me want to pour a cup of apple cider and build a fire. They also make me want to go shopping, she’s as cute as can be, no? You can almost palpate the love in their portraits of one another. The glimpse into their lives via instagram will keep you coming back for more, rest assured.
Here’s some of my favorite images from the duo:
Wishing everyone lots of love on this lovely Valentine’s Day. You can check out the last edition of His & Hers here.

Link Love

by Ashley filed under Ashley, Photography
This photo is making the green thumb in me want to come out and play.
Loving this song. It makes me excited for summer. So does this 80 degree weather. That’s 25 Celsius for all ya’ll on the other side of the globe. Good song though, no?

Wishing I could afford this top. It’s $180, on sale, mind you.
This photo is so simple, yet dreamy. It’s by Lonnie Webb, one of my favorites.
I’m loving on this song too. Such a beautiful intro.
Wanting to do this DIY when the time fairy chooses to grace me with her requested presence.
Supporting this documentary and all it stands for.
Side note: Thank you all for your thoughtful comments on yesterday’s post. There was some great dialogue and I felt a lot better after reading what ya’ll had to say. My favorite part about blogging, hands down, is the support we can all give one another. So cool. Thanks for inspiring me and for supporting me.

His & Hers

by Ashley filed under Photography
The world wide web is a never-ending sea of inspiration. It’s no wonder why I get stuck behind the computer screen so often. The computer is the new TV, isn’t it? Well, I want to pay tribute to those that continuously serve as a source of inspiration. Individuals, via instagram, who enrich the time I spend on my ass breastfeeding. So today, I’m starting a little His & Hers Instagram lovefest where I’m going to share some couples I follow on instagram. Couples whose photography and lives I admire.
And there’s no better way to kick this off than with Matthew (@matthewdennis) & Katie Dennis (@katieanndennis). 
 These two are currently featured in the Like Knows Like project. Haven’t heard of this project? I think you will. Well, duh, you’re hearing about it now. But mark my words, you’ll hear of it again.
Like Knows Like is a fabulous film project that serves to closer connect admirers with those they admire. Those behind the project state, “The digital world we live in is often criticized as volatile and shallow. We miss a bit of the human touch and perspective sometimes. That’s how the idea was born to make a series of small documentary films about the people we follow and admire. With our films, we celebrate the bond between follower and artist. We’re convinced documentary film can go deeper into getting to know a person better and might satisfy the curiosity we and fellow followers have”.
Here is the Like Knows Like film featuring Matthew & Katie. Aren’t following them on instagram? Then you’re missing the F out.

You Are My Wild

by Ashley filed under Photography

{Click on each photo to find out more about the photographer behind each one}
You Are My Wild is an amazing project that has just begun. The project brings 14 different photographers together, on a weekly basis, to display images they capture of their children. I can’t even tell you how ruffled my feathers would be to be part of something like this. Perhaps I’ll add it to my bucket list goals and in the meantime, I’ll gawk at these beautiful images from some amazingly talented individuals. You can check it out here on a weekly basis. I know I will.

Documenting my children has been very easy for me. It’s been very natural and has yet to feel forced. I was inspired when I saw this photo project, which I was lead to from this blog. Being that I already photograph my children on a weekly, if not daily basis, I’m opting to participate in a similar photo project featuring none other than mi amor, my husband, my best friend.
I spend a lot of time on this blog writing about my children and documenting my love for them. But none of that would be there without the foundation Willy and I have built through our own love. So I’m dedicating this yearly project to Willy. A photo a week of the man I love.
Hey Willy, here’s to looking at you kid.

I’m Having An Affair…

by Ashley filed under Photography
His name is Mark and he’s a camera and he doesn’t even belong to me. It’s amazing how quickly you can turn on an old friend. From the moment I handled Mark for the first time, I took my Canon Rebel (who has been with me for going on 8 years or so) and spit on it, called it a piece of shit, and tossed it in Hooper’s toy crate. Okay, I’m being facetious. But I’m not lying about the fact I’m in love, with Mark. Mark has been with me for the week and I’ve been busying myself with using him as much as possible in our short time together. In the meantime, I’m proposing a new family addition to Willy who is slowly starting to see all Mark’s wonderful traits. Oh how it pained me to return him yesterday. Here are some shots of Hooper and Sarah, some bath time pics of Hooper, and some of Hooper and his beloved giraffe. I just love pushing Mark’s buttons.

And lastly, the remaining shots from the Mother’s Day turn Hooper with his giraffe shoot:
You can check out the first post I did with Hooper and his giraffe here, when he wasn’t quite big enough to ride it but certainly loved pushing it and carrying it. Want a Playskool giraffe like this one? Ours was a gift from my very generous thrift-finding mother-in-law, but this one is available on etsy and it’s in tip top shape!
Oh Mark, how I love thee.
