Welcome to photographybyASHLEY

I hope you all feel as welcome here as you would on a front porch, in Boerne Texas, sippin' on a glass of ice cold sweet tea. Yep that's right, I am a Texas country girl!

This blog will be a place you can come to get to know me as a photographer as well as a person. Updates on my latest sessions as well as a sneak peek into my home.

customized {FLASH DRIVES} wedding




Because it is one day that cannot be remade 
everything about a wedding should be 
perfect & memorable. 

Capturing that day, the big picture and the moments in between… that is what i do with my camera. But how to store those images after that to make it even more priceless for the couple…. 

I stumbled upon 
www.PHOTOFLASHDRIVE.com 

 It was EXACTLY what I  was hoping to find. Something special, unique and that I can customize myself not a standard template that they give everyone with the bride and grooms name on it. Aside from shooting and editing images I love customizing and design. And I want everything about their day to be ABOUT THEM! Not like everyone else. After all each bride and groom is unique and has their own story, and their wedding is day should be no different. 

These are the perfect way to store their images as well as surprise each bride and groom when they receive it in the mail. 


I wanted something wood. And I love the size. It is almost as thin as a credit card and same dimensions. 



I love how the drive turns and fits inside. Keeping it protected as well as smooth and clean.   





You can't see the back well, it also has an image from the day of the wedding printed very lightly on the back so as to also show my logo and photography information. 


THANK YOU PHOTOFLASHDRIVE for making such a beautiful product. And aaking the ordering and shipping quick and painless.

sneak peek {G} wedding






My first trip to INDIANA!
I flew in Sunday morning on a 6:00 am flight, which meant a 2:30 am wake up :o 
not tired… at all… zzzzzzz 

After waiting 2 hours to pick up my rental car, and drive an hour in Chicago traffic I made it just a few minutes past 3:00 pm for a 5:00 pm wedding. 

Its a good thing this was an intimate event with just family and close friends, and no bridal party ;) 
BUT I made it in plenty of time to capture the getting ready. 

It was a beautiful home at the parents of the bride. A gorgeous sunset and even in the Indiana humidity we were all smiling at the beauty.

CARMEL wedding {getting ready} PART ONE



It is always an honor, as a photographer, when asked to capture the wedding day. After all this is one of the most important days in a persons life. The day they commit their life to another. You can't redo this moment.. no retakes. Everything is on the line when shooting a wedding. So every time I am asked to be the photographer it is an incredible honor. But when you have known the bride since she was a young girl, it is truly a SPECIAL honor. 

Being able to spend a few days in Carmel California was merely icing on the cake ;)
