I met Ashley & Matt last December with their 2 dogs and 1 year old son. We met at a park to shoot their family portraits for the Christmas season 2008. Since I have had the honor of photographing them 3 times. The second photo shoot was her maternity photos which we did at their house, which I am seriously that behind on my blogging that I still need to post those photos. I will Ashley I promise.
Just need to go back and do it!!

Ashley's baby got really sick after he was born. They thought he had a blood infection and the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. This poor baby was going through so many trials and he was only like a few days old. My heart broke for this family even know I only met them a few times. I just couldn't imagine what they were going through having to be at the hospital constantly for tests and not knowing what was going on.

My husband went through a rough time a while back this year and had to have tests done on his heart this year and it was very scary, we didn't know if he was going to have a heart attack or if he was still going to. The point is not knowing can really put you in a hard & scary place. I wanted to bring them food or do something for them during this time. So after their little T. got better I offered to do a free photo shoot for them, it was the least I could do with all they had been through.

During the shoot little T. won't go to sleep so we could get some sweet sleeping photos. Just as he fell asleep Ashley laid him down and he woke right back up. Poor little guy. Hopefully he slept after I left. We managed to get some cute photos in the meantime. Right at the end of the entire time I was there, he gave us his best. He was so good and calm...thanks little T.
Sad thing is his big brother K. was having a hard time that day and we didn't get a ton of photos of him. There were a few cute ones though. It was really great to see them again, they are such nice people. I always have such a nice time with them when I see them. If you know them you know what I am talking about.
