I had the chance to photograph this beautiful family over the weekend. I really had a great time... the weather was perfect, the kids were great, and mom and dad were so flexible. I know the mom is eagerly anticipating her photos, so here is a sneak peek!

A rainy birthday...

"J"'s 5th birthday was at a really neat location... a Christmas tree farm with a corn maze, pumpkin patch, hay ride, etc. Unfortunately, a huge rainstorm blew through, putting a bit of a damper on the festivities. I think the birthday boy and his guests enjoyed themselves... after all, what kid doesn't like playing in the mud?!

Portrait Parties!

I am excited to announce that I will be offering portrait parties for a limited time in an efffort to build my portfolio and expand my name and business. Think Tupperware parties... but with portraits, no committment and little work for the hostess. Portrait parties consist of 20 minute mini-sessions at the host's home or local park for their family, friends and neighbors... no session fee and reduced print princes! Interested? Contact me for details!

A sweet moment

Website... coming soon!

I have been working hard the last few days on some finishing touches, so ashleybrownphotography.com should be live within the next week or two! Keep checking back!

Portfolio building sessions will be continuing throughout the fall. As a reminder, these include 25% off print and product pricing. If you are interested in a session, please be sure to contact me soon as I conduct a limited number of shoots per month.

Lastly, I have decided to offer order incentives at various price points. This will be the only way to receive certain products (such as the leather brag book) and digital negatives. Stay tuned for details regarding the incentives on the website!

Two beautiful girls...

Just a quick update to let you know that September is completely booked. I will be away the first weekend in October so new sessions will be booked for the second weekend of October and beyond. Thank you for your wonderful response!

Updates!

Things have been very busy as I get ready to phase out of portfolio building and into BUSINESS! Complimentary portfolio building sessions will continue throughout September (possibly into early October). Due to my schedule at this time, I am only committing to a small number of sessions so the duration of the month is filling quickly. Be sure to contact me ASAP if you would like to schedule a session.

The website is also in production and I expect it to be live at the end of the month as well!

Even though it's only the beginning of September, it's time to start thinking about holiday cards. I am very excited to be offering a gorgeous set of cards for ABP's first Christmas season (see below for a few examples). They are classy, simple and festive! A set of 25 flat cards is $30 plus tax. New clients can take advantage of a complimentary session, and existing clients... this is a great way to use your referral program credit! Keep in mind that the deadline for holiday card sessions/orders is November 1st.

Contact me for more information!

My new favorite spot

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! It's sad to see summer coming to an end but I love fall, so no complaints here!

I had a great session this weekend at hands down, my favorite new location... Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga Springs. I had been here once before, years ago, but now as a photographer, I have a newfound appreciation for it. The location is absolutely beautiful, between the fountains, the big open field, the gardens, the trellis... needless to say, it is now on my list of favorite spots and somewhere that I plan to frequent!

The shoot itself went wonderfully... easy to do when you have two adorable subjects! Here are two sneak peeks for the mom and dad.

Finally...

A blog! This is something I have been meaning to do for a while as ABP gets up and running. This blog (provided I keep it updated!) will provide a great resource for keeping you updated the latest news and happenings. I will be posting sneak peeks from each session, as well as promotions (like our upcoming holiday promotion... stay tuned for details!), contests and more.

If you are a client, or would just like to be kept in the know, be sure to add the blog to your bookmarks. :)
