Darcy, Lauren, Bailey & Ollie

2011-08-16T22:15:00.003-06:00

This is Tom's little brother Darcy and his family. They were down for Magrath days and we managed to take a few family pictures while they were here. It was so great to spend the evening with them and I just love Bailey and Ollie. Ollie pretty much never stops smiling and Bailey is the sweetest little girl! Miss you guys already.

Adam, Christa & Cooper

2011-08-16T22:08:00.003-06:00

I was so excited when Christa wanted to take their family pictures down at the lake. There are endless locations and backdrops. I did end up having to stand almost waist deep in the lake to get a few shots but it was well worth it! Cooper did awesome and loved playing by the lake. Hope you had a great vacation Hogg family!

little big brother

2011-08-11T23:18:00.003-06:00

This sweet baby boy just became a big brother to a little sister named Emerson. While we were taking her newborn pics, Nixon gave us one AWESOME shot so I figured he deserved his own post.

Emerson

2011-08-11T23:01:00.003-06:00

this is sweet baby EMMY!

I was so excited that Carrie had her baby before I came up to visit. It was so fun to sit and cuddle this teensy tiny baby girl. I loved getting to take pictures of cute ruffles, bows, pink and purple blankets and pretty much anything girly. I really seem to get used to taking pictures of my boys so it was a blast. I was lucky enough to get to spend another week with her down at our family reunion in Montana. Crazy that she was one of the 3 new babies there and they were all born in the same week.

Congratulations Famulaks!

the townsends

2011-07-31T12:45:00.005-06:00

It was so fun to get to hang out with our friends the Townsends when we were up in Edmonton this summer. Their little boys are just so adorable and loved the neighborhood dog that came by to watch our session! Thanks for a fun evening you guys!

Andie

2011-07-31T12:40:00.002-06:00

This is sweet baby Andie. Isn't she the sweetest! I was lucky enough to be in Edmonton right after she was born and to get to spend the afternoon with her and her bestie Emerson.

They were so adorable and kept my on my toes. Then I got to spend the next weekend with her down in Southern Alberta at the Bennett Family Reunion. Congratulations Melvin and Kay- she is too cute!

Alex & Janae {wedding}

2011-07-31T12:36:00.003-06:00

Summer is so much fun!! I had a blast shooting this wedding. It was a gorgeous gorgeous day and they were a gorgeous couple. Everyone in the wedding party was so fun and hilarious. The little kiddos were so stinking cute and I LOVED Janae's dress. Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day and I hope you love the pictures!

baby Ty

2011-07-24T23:00:00.002-06:00

Sweet baby Ty.

He is the most adorable little babe. He slept like a dream for us and his mom brought the most adorable little hats. {Oh- and if you are wondering where the adorable polka dot background is from- it is a quilt that my sis in law gave me when I had Gray. Isn't it soo cute!}

Brittany

2011-07-20T20:20:00.003-06:00

Brittany and I battled the masses of mosquitoes and managed to get some still get some great shots. Thank heavens for her mom and the bug spray! I loved her dress and her outfit she chose. So unique and totally gorgeous. I think she looks like she could be a J Crew model in the first pics. Thanks Brittany. I hope you like them.

Melissa & Ryan {wedding}

2011-07-12T12:59:00.002-06:00

This wedding was so fun to shoot. Melissa has 5 adorable little boys and they were so awesome. I loved her gorgeous dress and all the cute little touches she added. Her flower in her hair, her darling shoes, the ties, the skirts and the flower clips for the nieces. Not only was it a beautiful day they were such a darling couple to get to spend the morning with.

Congratulations Melissa and Ryan.

cassy & mateo {the wedding}

2011-06-25T20:44:00.002-06:00

Love this couple! Don't they look absolutely amazing! It was so fun to work with Cassy and Mateo again and on their wedding day. They were so in love and just naturals for the camera. Congratulations you two!

kelsey

2011-06-19T22:46:00.003-06:00

This is Kelsey. Isn't her dress to die for!! I just loved it. I am a sucker for pink though!

It was fun to take pictures of her and her date. They endured the crazy wind, and a crazy me as I tried not to make them late for the banquet. Hope you like them Kelsey!

Courtney

2011-06-13T20:58:00.002-06:00

I got to take Courtney and Ty's pictures on her actual grad day. They are such a cute couple and were so easy to work with. Everyone who passed us commented on how gorgeous Courtney is. Hope you guys had a great time at grad!

the morrisons

2011-06-09T20:43:00.003-06:00

Seriously! How cute is this little family! I took Jagger's newborn photos over a year ago and it was so fun to see him toddling around. He wasn't too sure about me to begin with but as soon as I pulled out the treats he didn't absolutely detest me anymore :) This first photo is my favorite from the session. so cute!

Jagger loved watching the trucks driving by behind me. I just had to time it right to catch the shot right as the truck passed!

I loved their matching shoes. I may have to get some for my own fam.

Such a fun shoot. Thanks M family.

Crystal

2011-06-05T23:33:00.002-06:00

I was lucky to get to take Crystal's grad pictures and she was lucky because the rain stopped just long enough for the shoot! She is just adorable and seriously had the coolest dress. So unique. She was totally up for any of the locations I chose. (even in the muddy dandelions-) Hopefully it was worth it! Congratulations on graduating and good luck next year!

Kyle & Megan

2011-05-29T21:13:00.003-06:00

It's wedding season again! I am so excited to share these pictures and many more over the next couple of months! These two are such a darling couple. They couldn't stop smiling at each other and seemed completely in their own world. It was so sweet to watch. I always make couples tell me how they met. Sometimes the bride tells and sometimes the groom tells. These two told it together and totally finished each others sentences. They are definitely mfeo.

("made for each other" for those of you who didn't love sleepless in seattle and watch it a million times! hehe.)

Congratulations Kyle and Megan.

Cassy & Mateo

2011-05-16T20:44:00.003-06:00

Cassy and Mateo are getting married this summer. They are such an adorable couple and were so fun to spend the afternoon with. Congratulations you guys!

Damon

2011-04-30T20:00:00.003-06:00

How cute is this little buddy! I cannot get over his handsome blue eyes. He was just learning to sit up, teething and still did a great job. He is such an adorable boy and it was awesome to visit with his parents and aunt again.

the beazers

2011-04-30T19:54:00.004-06:00

This darling family came in mostly for pictures of their little guy Dallin, but we took a few of everyone else too! Their boys were just too cute and I couldn't get over all of the songs they knew. Thanks Beazer family.

Cruz

2011-04-09T23:33:00.005-06:00

Oh sweet baby Cruz. He is absolutely breathtaking. Such a handsome little baby. He is such a lucky boy to have Bella as his big sister. She just cuddled him, held him, and you can tell she completely adores him. His mom, Simone, has created the most darling nursery for him. I wanted to steal her rocking chair and bring it home with me! She is such a great mom and a great friend. Doesn't she look absolutely amazing for just having a baby!! I don't know how she does all she does. Not only did she just have her second baby, she owns her own bridal boutique, Beautiful Bride. Every time I talk to her she is throwing a baby shower for someone, taking someone out for their birthday, or dropping a treat off to someone. Not to mention running a successful business and raising her family. She has always been such a great support to me and to my business and I am so grateful to have her as my friend. Thanks Sim and congratulations again.

Hannah

2011-03-13T23:15:00.002-06:00

I would like you to meet Porter's "girlfriend" Hannah. She is our neighbor and his buddy Ollie's sister. The other day he and I were talking while eating lunch and he smiles and says, "I have a girlfriend." I was totally shocked. Did my 3 year old just say he had a girlfriend? hehe. I asked him who it was and he said, "well, Hannah of course!" With a little questioning I found out that in 3 year old talk a girl friend is apparently just that. A friend that is a girl. :) He thinks Hannah is pretty awesome and I do too. She is so fun and nice and I am lucky enough to teach her in YWs. It was freezing out for this session and she was such a trooper. She even went without a coat in -18 degree weather. I think she is gorgeous and I am so grateful to have her as a neighbor and babysitter! Hope you like them Hannah.

baby Q

2011-02-15T23:26:00.002-07:00

This is my sweet little nephew Quinn. He is just the most adorable baby. He is my first nephew on my side of the family and we are so excited to have him in our family.

Quinn's Mom made his little sock monkey and a lot of other adorable things for his nursery. The darling elephants are from Africa and Uncle Rob brought a set home for my little boys too. Congratulations you two. He is absolutely perfect - oh and you should bring him over soon so I can hold him!

porter & gray

2011-01-09T20:06:00.005-07:00

I am finally posting my boys pictures from our September shoot! I know- This year I am not going to let my pics get so far behind. As I post these it is snowing like crazy out my window and I am totally OVER this winter thing. I can't wait for the snow to go away so I can get outside with my boys again! Anyways, aren't these two so stinking cute! It is definitely time to get some canvases for these new walls.

*Happy 2011*

Nixon F.

2011-01-02T21:59:00.006-07:00

I would like to introduce you to Gray's buddy Nixon. You may have seen him in prior posts labelled the Famulaks. He did not want to have his picture taken anymore when we did his family photos so he got a session all to himself! Nixon has to be one of the happiest little boys I have ever met. He is always happy and smiling and is just the sweetest little guy.

baby nixon

2010-12-15T22:23:00.003-07:00

Nixon was the sweetest little baby for his session. He was asleep, awake and pretty much whatever we needed him to be. He is such an adorable little guy.

{Just a quick note- I will be off from Dec. 18th until the new year. I will be answering emails periodically but not taking anymore session until January.}

Kage and Brayker

2010-12-06T21:28:00.004-07:00

Kage and Brayker are two of the cutest boys ever. They were excited to be here for the first few minutes, and loved Porter's red car. Their mom dresses them so stinking cute and I couldn't get over the DC shoes. Those are my weakness with my own boys. Hope you like them Kristy.

Breanne

2010-12-02T21:58:00.003-07:00

This is Breanne. She is the most amazing singer ever and one of the funnest girls I know! I was so excited when she called to book her session with me and told me she wanted me to make her poster for her upcoming concert. Her concert was absolutely Amazing. If you didn't catch it this time you will have to watch for the next one! Please don't make us wait too long Breanne.

baby jax

2010-11-24T00:50:00.003-07:00

This sweet little guy was one of the strongest babies I have ever met. I think he will be playing football before he can walk!

Claire & Hannah

2010-11-12T23:36:00.002-07:00

These darling girlies were so fun to work with. Not to mention the fact that their mom brought so many cute outfits and accessories to choose from. Since I don't have a girl of my own to dress it was so fun to help her put together outfits. How adorable! Thanks Taryn.

{Don't you just LOVE the teeny tiny pink toes!}

The Duce family

2010-11-12T23:27:00.002-07:00

The Duce family picked the perfect night for pictures. It was gorgeous out. I loved their outfit choice and the belt buckles are pretty awesome too. I hope you like them Jade. {Sorry it took me so long to get them posted!}

holiday cards

2010-11-11T21:55:00.001-07:00

My other sister

2010-11-02T22:26:00.004-06:00

OK, so Carrie is my cousin but pretty much my other sister. We grew up in the same town and our families did almost everything together. Celebrated holidays, went on vacations and had Sunday dinners every week. It is so fun now because her darling little Nixon is the same age as my Gray so we love to see them play (haha as if they can play yet!) together. I do have to mention the AMAZING assistant I had during this shoot. We talked my Uncle Ron into coming with us to help with Nixon. I have never seen anyone do whatever it takes to draw a smile. He was awesome. (I know Nixon looks so sad in the last picture but I just love his little frown!)

Boo

2010-11-02T22:24:00.001-06:00

I hope you all had a happy halloween! Here are my two boys. The Firefighter and his "Fire dog" as Porter called him. They had an absolute blast trick or treating and Porter was thrilled with his pillowcase full of treats.

Damon

2010-10-27T21:21:00.002-06:00

Is he not the cutest little guy!! I grew up across the street from his mom and it was so fun to see her again and to meet her adorable baby boy.

maille

2010-10-20T22:11:00.002-06:00

I can't believe Maille is already 6 months old. She is such a darling baby and was so good for her pictures. Her mom has pictures of each of her sisters with their rubber duckies so we had to take the classic ducky shot so she can match!

Mason, Simone & Bella

2010-10-20T12:19:00.002-06:00

I love my sessions with the Dahl family. They are our great friends and have been trusting me to take their family pictures since I first bought my camera. Not only are they all super photogenic, Simone puts together the best outfit combinations so it makes my work easy! {Don't you just love Simone's coat!}

Now if only we could get a beautiful day to work with everything would be perfect.

Thanks again Dahls.

Laynie Lynn

2010-10-19T21:07:00.002-06:00

Laynie is such an adorable baby. She didn't want to sleep for us but we still got some cute pictures. I designed her parent's wedding invitation when they got engaged so it was really fun to see them with their new baby girl. Congratulations you guys!

Bella

2010-10-14T20:36:00.003-06:00

Just a few pics of Miss Bella in her tutu. Isn't she so adorable!

abbey jo

2010-10-09T23:04:00.002-06:00

This is Abbey. She is an awesome sister, aunt, dancer, bball player, bracelet maker, wake-boarder, piano player and the list goes on and on! She babysits my boys all the time and I think they love her just as much as they love me! It is so nice to go out and know that my boys are taken care of and that they will have so much fun with Auntie Abbey or Abbs as Porter calls her. She is so much fun to be around and I love that she doesn't freak out when I ask to borrow her clothes. I am so lucky to have an Abbey. Thanks for being such an awesome little sister. {Sorry it has taken me so long to get these finished!!}

Katelyn & Melissa

2010-09-22T23:04:00.003-06:00

Aren't these girls too cute! We had SO much fun during their session. They had me laughing the whole time and really made me wish I had a twin sister too.

2010-06-10T22:55:00.002-06:00

Chelan was so fun to work with. We only had about 15 minutes total to get these pics before her date came to pick her up so we had to be quick. Doesn't she look amazing!

Alan, Kellie & kids

2010-06-02T17:06:00.003-06:00

This awesome little family came down from edmonton for a visit and I got to spend the evening with them taking pictures! They were so funny and I think I showed them some of the most "beautiful" parts of Cardston :) Okay, maybe the most sketchy parts of Cardston. They have the cutest little kiddos, and they were so great during the session. Hope you like them Kellie.

Dallin

2010-05-31T23:49:00.002-06:00

Dallin is graduating from CHS this year and I was lucky enough to get to take his senior pics. He brought his mom with him and we had a great time. He was a natural when it came to the pictures so it really made my job easy! His dad always has these awesome cars parked outside their house and we were walking by one evening and I just had to use them in the pictures. Hope you like them!

Bennett

2010-05-08T23:24:00.003-06:00

Bennett and his mom came down for the week and we had a blast hanging out with them. I just love this little guy, he is too cute. His big blue eyes remind me so much of my Porter. Bennett's mom made me the cutest soother clip for Gray. It is even zebra print. Thanks Kay, you are the best!

Jillian

2010-04-25T21:39:00.002-06:00

Jillian is graduating this spring and I had fun shooting her senior portraits. She is too cute and I had a hard time choosing which pictures to edit!

Rachel & Seth

2010-04-10T13:33:00.002-06:00

I guess it wouldn't be one of my sessions if the wind wasn't blowing like a hurricane! Seth and Rachel were awesome and endured the weather like pros. They are such a cute couple and I even got to witness the first time she saw her ring. Congratulations you two.

Aren't these girls absolutely adorable!! It was so fun to spend the afternoon with Karen and her girls. Congratulations on your new arrival. She is a doll.

baby gray

2010-03-16T14:26:00.002-06:00

I am loving having a little baby around again! He is the best baby and is so sweet. Just a quick note: I am currently booking for the spring and I am only taking a few clients each month as my husband is taking his masters and these 2 little boys keep me pretty busy. I can't wait for spring and sunshine. It will be so fun to take pictures when the weather isn't FREEZING cold!!

gray

2010-03-03T09:00:00.002-07:00

My own little baby finally arrived. We are adjusting well to life as a family of 4 and loving every minute we get to spend with this little guy.

K & M

2010-01-13T10:36:00.003-07:00

I got to spend the morning with these cute boys the other day. Little K was a bit tired but M did a great job of getting him to look at us. I hope you like them C, and thanks again for coming.

abbey jo

2010-01-04T19:18:00.004-07:00

I can't believe my little sister is almost 14!! We took a few shots while we were at the cabin for New years. She was a trooper though, and it was fun to take her pics, even in the rain. Yep, that's right it was raining on us. I am sure the people staying in the other condos got quite a kick out of an 35 week pregnant chick trying to take pictures on a slippery snowy hill in the rain. Thanks for being so awesome Abbey, you are too cute!

Prete Family

2009-12-20T01:17:00.004-07:00

What a great family. We had a fun photo shoot just in time for Christmas. These kiddos were awesome and smiled through the wind and cold. I just love their little scarves. Thank you so much guys. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

This little guy did not want to miss a thing and was determined to stay awake during the entire session, but we made it work. What a darling boy and I just LOVE his hair!

Easthope Family

2009-12-01T22:17:00.003-07:00

I love this family! They are so awesome and it was great to finally get to see little Bennett for the first time. He was such a good little baby and endured the weather so well!

It was such a fun afternoon. Thanks guys!!

the townsends

2009-11-22T23:57:00.004-07:00

Seriously!

Could this little family be any cuter? Once again braving the southern alberta weather to get a few family pictures. Little Chase was such a trooper. He was so cold, but still absolutely loved playing on the old tractor. It was so great working with the Townsends.

Thanks guys!

The Dahls

2009-11-13T21:56:00.003-07:00

I love taking pictures for Simone and her family. She always coordinates thier outfits perfectly and her little Bella is a born model. I don't know many 1.5 yr olds who would do their best to smile and laugh in crazy tornado like winds! She was such a doll and so cooperative. It was a freezing cold afternoon and people were pointing and laughing at us for even attempting to take pictures. Well, I guess we can laugh now because we actually got a few good shots!! Thanks for coming down you guys, it was great to see you.

cooper

2009-08-27T16:17:00.002-06:00

It was so fun working with this little guy! He was so cute and I LOVE the orange polka dot blanket. I made an announcement for him and will share it with you later. I want to give his mommy a chance to send them out first!

portrait sessions

2009-08-26T00:07:00.003-06:00

Doesn't this pic scream summer? It does for me and I am so sad it is almost September. The end of summer always has me thinking about close we are getting to Christmas. I hate to even say Christmas when it is still gorgeous outside but I am booking family portrait sessions for the fall {before the weather turns bad} and I am including a Christmas card deal.

$125

for the session fee, edited prints on a cd and custom Christmas card

Contact me at sentimentsbyashley@gmail.com if you would like to book a session.

It was so fun to take pictures for Brady and Allison. They have the cutest nieces and nephews and it wasn't easy getting a picture where everyone {almost everyone} was looking! I just love the bright colors and darling decor. Congratulations you guys!
