WPPI {Las Vegas} + A New Thought

This past week was an incredible adventure A. Blake Photography. I headed to Las Vegas for a photography conference with my wonderful husband. While there, I learned a few things about myself and how I run my business...one being that I rarely blog about my family or personal sharings. Well, hopefully that will change. For so long I convinced myself that my readers and clients are not interested in how great I think my family is or how funny my precious 2 year old was today; however, I realized I love hearing about other people's lives and chaos with kids so maybe others would too. So, here's the new step...

Yes, I am Ashley with A. Blake Photography but more so than that, I am a mom of a 2 year old little girl named Addie Grace and a foster-mom to a beautiful teenager named Shelby. My husband, Chris, of almost 7 years is my inspiration and encouragement each day in running my business. He pushes me as well as picks up my pieces with I feel inadequate. Our life is crazy, full of life and definitely saturated with laugher. There are days I wonder how in the world I can physically juggle being a mom and full time photographer but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I am blessed to do what I love and still have time for those I love.

Here are a few pictures of my family:
