Oh you lucky little girl! You were blessed with a great set of parents!

I had a wonderful time chatting with mom and dad all through our newborn baby photography session yesterday. We shared stories and laughed and had a great time while working together. And this much-loved baby girl was so good! She was a little over 3 weeks old when I photographed her, but slept like an angel!

Check out the precious nursery! I just love shooting in the nurseries. Rooms like this are so much fun!

Mom and Dad, thank you so much! I can’t wait to meet with you guys for your proofing. In the meantime, send your friends and family members this link to see your sneak peek!

My goodness! Time has really gotten away from me this week. Lots of ordering and proofing sessions going on right now. And there was an awesome session with one of my favorite families this week and I am looking forward to blogging about that soon! But right now I need to remind everyone that my special offer to families having a baby this year is about to expire! The last day to take advantage of this promotion is tomorrow. If you missed the post last week, here is the 411:

From now till the end of the month, book your 2010 newborn photography session with Ashley Ward Photography and purchase any available package and receive a custom 10×20 storyboard as a gift – retail value $175! If you have already booked, don’t fret.

It was my pleasure to meet and work with this lovely family today. Their precious baby boy is about 5 weeks old and just as sweet as he can be! And he is a lucky boy – so loved.

Mom is an interior decorator so I had no doubt I would have fun with the props she would come up with. And she definitely did not disappoint! We started the session at a lovely town park and finished up in the warmth of their home. It was hard (and totally wonderful) work keeping this little guy sleeping, but well worth the effort! And all the extra soothing and holding ensured that I got an awesome baby fix today:)

Mom and Dad, I hope you enjoy this preview. Have 25 unique friends and family members leave a comment on this post along with their email address, and you’ll get a 5×7 gift portrait of your choice on me!!!

I truly love newborn photography! I recommend newborn session within the first 2 weeks of life…..but things don’t always work out that way. This little man made it to 6 weeks before his newborn photo shoot. I can’t always guarantee the curly, sleepy, newborn photos at this age, but with a lot of patience and a little luck, we were able to capture him just the way mommy and daddy wanted:) He was such a good boy….and so very handsome!

Thank you, mom and dad, for the opportunity to capture this awesome time in your lives! Have 25 unique friends or family members post a comment here with their email address and receive a 5×7 gift print of your choice on me:)

Well, actually this sweet baby is from Orangeburg, SC. And isn’t she amazingly beautiful! I love newborn photography sessions. Especially when the parents are so wonderful to work with! I really enjoyed my time with this family.

The baby’s nursery was beautifully decorated with the most adorable things from Pottery Barn (I heart Pottery Barn), and got the yummiest morning light. I was thrilled to take advantage of it. And the little princess was very good for me – even though I had to be very patient to wait for the really deep sleep. She didn’t want to miss any of the action and stayed awake as long as she could. In the end, she couldn’t fight it any longer and I was able to curl her in several wonderful positions:)

Mom and Dad, enjoy your preview and send the link on to friends and family. If 25 unique F&F leave a comment here, you’ll get a 5×7 gift portrait on me! I look forward to seeing you at the proofing session!

Moving day has come and gone and I am living under what feels like a mountain of boxes! Getting the office together is taking much longer than I anticipated. I guess I just didn’t realize how long it would take to get bedrooms and bathrooms and the kitchen functional:) This has been our 4th move in about 8 years – all within the Columbia or Florence area – so you would think that I would have this down to a science by now but NO! Two house renovations, a relocation out of Columbia and a relocation back into Cola! I hope I am done for a while:)

Now that the office is at least partly functional, I can share these image of this adorable little boy I had the great pleasure of photographing last weekend. He was an angel during the entire session – only protesting at my positioning once;) He is the nephew of a friend whom I think the world of. I hope mom and family enjoy these images;)

Things are so busy around the Ward household these days! We went to my mom’s house at the beach for 2 weeks after the last day of school to spend time with them, and my sister and her beau who was visiting from New York. Since we’ve been back, I have been extremely busy catching up on work and want to thank my wonderful clients for being so patient and allowing me to take a little time off. Besides catching up on work, we have to keep up the house to show at a moments notice (it’s on the market), and that is never easy. I don’t know about you but I don’t live everyday in a show-ready home! We are also busy searching for a home in Columbia and trying to make a little time for our little family. We are really looking forward to getting back to Columbia and cutting down on all the insane travel we have had over the last couple of years. My daughter can’t wait to start at her old school at the end of the summer. I can’t wait to get back to the city I have learned to call home. And my husband can’t wait for the day he doesn’t have to drive 3+ hours for work each day! My daughter and I can’t wait to spend more time with him. Right now he is off for a week and we are enjoying having him at home SOOOO much right now!

I wanted to take just a moment to post a few images from a recent newborn session. This family is so beautiful. Really lovely people. And I loved the images we got during the session. Big sis is only 2 and it was challenging to get her to participate in a newborn session – as it would be with any 2-year-old. But storytime was perfect! It worked out beautifully;) I hope mom and dad enjoy!

Danielle: Beautiful!!! Such wonderful moments captured of this family!

Karen: Ashley, I love those storybook pictures!! I also adore the picture of the kiss from the big sis!! Beautiful kids and family!

alpana: what a beautiful family! great job with these.

Brandi: What a beautiful famiy, I adore the series of images of them sitting on the couch! Perfect!

Jennifer Mott: Ashley, these are just gorgeous moments you've captured for them! I wish I had shots like these of my family...

It’s been a while since my last post! My sister has been visiting at my mom’s house at the beach and so we took off for some family time and it has been wonderful! I barely broke the camera out while I was there – having way to much fun and relaxation. I did manage to take some images of my mom’s house and will have to post some of those here later. I am playing catch up now and am busy busy busy!

I did sneak away to photograph this beautiful baby boy during my break, however! Babies keep their own schedules and I was thrilled to be able to capture him at about 2 weeks old. He came a bit early so even though he was 2 weeks old, this session was prior to his due date! He was a precious, tiny baby boy and was so good for me – sleeping right through all the positions and movement;) The last image here is of baby H’s little hand on big sis’s hand – just 2 years old!

Mom and Dad, enjoy these images! And you know the blog routine;) See you soon!

Belle: these are all so sweet! beautiful!

Karen: SUCH a cute baby! Wonderful job!

Liz: Oh my word. How utterly delightful is this little one. Beautiful images for Mom and Dad to cherish....

Brandi: What a sweetie - love how you curled him all up in the third one!

Katie: So sweet! Great clarity.

Thank heaven for little girls! This little girl was truly an angel. Just as beautiful and sweet as she could be and she was so good for me! She slept pretty soundly most of the session and so we had lots of fun trying on different hats from my collection (more than I am even posting here;-). Mom and Dad were terrific to work with and had the house nice and toasty for our session. We started early and spent quite a bit of time doing all the things we wanted to do. I told Mom and Dad that all three of them would likely sleep well last night – LOL. I hope I was right!

Mom and Dad, thank you so much for entrusting me with capturing this new chapter of your lives! Have 25 friends or family members leave a comment to this post, with their name, and receive a 5×7 portrait of your choice on me;-)
