At the plaza...

I got to spend my morning with a really cool family at the Empire State Plaza. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shoot. There is so much variety and a really cool mix of greenery and urban backdrops. It was cold today so we split our time between the plaza and the Corning Tower observation deck. For those of you not local, the Corning Tower is the tallest building in Albany. Going to the top was no small feat for me... heights are NOT my thing! I'm glad we went up as we got some awesome shots.

Here's a sneak peek for Z's mom and dad!

Email woes...

Of course it would so happen that during the busiest time of year, my email malfunctions. I cannot send emails (they are all getting bounced back) and most of the emails I send to clients are getting rejected into their spam mail folders. To remedy these problems, I have switched my address to a different location. You can now reach me at ashley@ashleybrownphotography.com. Emails sent to my old account will be forwarded to the new account. If you have emailed me with no response, please contact me by phone at (518) 396-9387. Thanks for our patience!

Big brown eyes...

I couldn't resist running home and proofing a sneak peek from this morning's session. Aren't little A's brown eyes to die for?

Way behind...

I am embarassingly behind on updating the blog. I certainly underestimated how busy this time of year is! But, no complaints here... it has been a phenomenal few months and I hope the trend keeps up. Check back for some updates and sneak peeks coming soon...!

An update...

I am very pleased to announce that portfolio building is officially finished! I will be wrapping up my final complimentary sessions and booking sessions for January 2008. I am happy to have had a wonderful response and met a lot of great families in the process.

I am holding a portrait party tomorrow with 10 families and couldn't be more excited! It will be a busy day but I am anticipating being able to photograph LOTS of new faces! Stay tuned for sneak peeks!

New website...

Ashley Brown Photography has a new website in the works! This is something I'm really excited about. It's clean, simple, easy to navigate, and looks great. Expect to see the brand new site within a week or so!

Two from the weekend...

Today was a PERFECT fall day. A bit chilly and very windy, but great nonetheless. I had two sessions today... I've known M & L for a few years and hadn't seen them in a while, so I had a ton of fun getting to hang out and photograph them. V was the sweetest baby girl. Mellow and serious, but I definitely captured some smiles as well. Here are two sneak peeks!

Busy month!

I love the fall... and I don't think I am in the minority! There is no shortage of families looking to take advantage of the gorgeous autumn backdrop for some portraits. Unfortunately, the leaves are late to change in the Northeast, but they seem to be making slow progress! The rest of the month is going to be a busy one, but I'm thrilled to be able to use October to it's fullest. Stay tuned for some updates and lots of images! :)

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Becoming involved in the world of children's photography has allowed me to become familiar with a wonderful charity called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS for short). NILMDTS is a nationwide network of photographers who provide absolutely free infant bereavement photography services. They do a wonderful job of maintaining a database and making their services known for families who have experienced the heartbreaking loss of a newborn. These photographs are often the only way these parents' have of remembering their short time with their child.

I am very pleased to announce my affliation with NILMDTS and look forward to working with such a such a wonderful program. For more information, please visit www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.
