The last few days have been full of gloom and grey, but spring is coming soon. I don’t mind the cloudy weather, but even I recognize that the sun hits different when a few degrees cooler. Everyone needs a little sunshine here and there. Today on the blog is the Johnston family. The sweetest kiddos; a beautiful family. Enjoy some of the moments we captures last year. I can’t wait to see what this year brings.

Hello...
Merry Christmas to all. I realize as I write this that It has been a year since my last post. A few days after my last posted session, I experienced a personal loss. Something that truly affected me; more than that I thought it would. Some may say it was minor, this is what I even told myself. Now I understand that I was not truly being honest with myself. I still did photography throughout the year and my clients remained faithful to me in the midst of a very slow year. If you are one of those- I want to tell you thank you. Thank you for sticking it out with me. Thank you for your support.
I don’t know what 2024 will look like. But I have hope.
If your year has also been somber, know that you are not alone. 2023 was beautiful to me, despite a personal identity crisis. It was beautiful to me because I finally understood more about my “why”. I will share more as the months come to pass. I remain a wedding photographer and a family lifestyle photographer. This is who I am in the end. I document YOU. Thanks for trusting in me.
Thank you 2023, for the many lessons. Here’s to a new year- here’s to hope.
Ashlee + Daniel
It’s been a minute. Isn’t this what Gen Z says now to mean that it has been quite a while? I am showing my age now. Ok i’ll stop. In all seriousness, my last post was in June. If you would have asked me a year ago if my blog would have ever had such a large gap between posts I would have most likely not believed you. But guess what? Life happens. And of course it’s not a surprise that Covid had a lot to do with it. Regardless, the last few months have been extremely difficult, but it has also been a gift. I have been as busy as ever; i simply did not post as much.
A few years ago Ashlee and Daniel got married. We were able to take their engagement pictures then but were not able to take their wedding photos since we were leaving the states to live in South America. Now it seems that history is repeating itself and I am taking their pictures once more, but this time it is their turn to leave. As I type tonight they must be waking up, probably drinking coffee and enjoying the moroccan view from their apartment. New adventures await for the. It was a pleasure to tell one last story for them as they left behind family and friends back home. Texas will be forever yours guys. Have fun.
