Recently, Carter has become obsessed with super heros.  I am not sure how this came about because he doesn’t watch any shows with super heros, so it must be from the couple of books he has read.  He has a cape and uses a special voice when he is being a super hero.  He even has special phrases that he uses like, “You will never feat me!” or, “Super hero toooo the recuuuuu!” and then proceeds to push an imaginary magic button on his stomach that makes him fly.  And lets not forget his spatula or wooden spoon that he he uses as a sword or magic weapon or whatever his heart desires.  I decided to ask him a series of questions to get a better idea on what he thinks a superhero is all about!  Below is our conversation:

Me:  Are you a superhero?

Carter: Yea, an I can feat that bad guy from the world!

Me:  What is your super hero name?

Carter:  Chief Super Hero.

Me:  What do super heros do?

Carter:  They fly to the moon.

Me:  And then what do they do?

Carter:  They just fall out their nests and break their heads.

Me: What do the bad guys do?

Carter: They fight me and I die.(Not sure where he got this from!  But apparently he thinks that when you “die” you can still talk to people but you just cant see) haha!

Me:  And what do you do after?

Carter: I twirl then hug Jingles then I waggle around then I fwap my wings.  And thats all I do!

Me:  Are you a good superhero?

Carter:  Yeaaaaa.

So before you get to the images below, I also wanted to share how totally OBSESSED Carter is with his fireman rain boots.  For the last THREE months, he has worn these boots EVERY.  SINGLE.. DAY.  No lie.  Anyone who knows Carter can attest to this haha!  On days where its 90+ degrees outside, I don’t know how he can stand it, but he never complains.  He has a pair of sandals and tennis shoes, but will never wear them…..I’m sure that one day soon his days of wearing the boots will be over, so for now I am enjoying every moment of it….and watching people point and say how cute my son is. 🙂  And no matter how silly he looks, it will never be as bad as the brown boots with flowers(Kaleigh’s shoes) that he wore for TWO months before he got the fireman boots….or the hot pink crocs…..or the silver sparkly shoes……and yes, I let him go out in public like this because he is three and a little boy who is learning, growing, discovering, and using his independence….and most importanly, it makes him happy.  And thats all I want for my children….

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph not one, but TWO very sweet, handsome baby boys(and their families!) 🙂  It was another hot, hot day, but we pushed through and had a really fun session.  The boys were just SO cute!  There is about an eight month difference between them, and sadly, one lives in California, but I’m sure these two will have a great time growing up together.  I just love the images below, it puts a smile on my face every time I look at them.   PIN IMAGEI love his little expression! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEHow cute is he?! PIN IMAGEThese are some of my faves…..they remind me of when mine were oh so little!

    Ashley Glasco Photography - […] met the “M” family when I did their “Meet your Cousin” session back in August.  I couldn’t wait to see how much Conner had grown since our last […]ReplyCancel

When I talked to Cari on the phone about scheduling a session, she sounded so happy!  Her family, her husband’s parents, and his brother’s family were all going to be together for the weekend.  This would probably be the only time all summer that they would see each other so they wanted to have some photos taken.  What was even more important was that, they wanted to capture their families together because Mr. Shannon(husband to Joe Ann, father to Jason and Jimmy, and Pops to 7 sweet grandchildren) has had health issues in the recent years.  Now, more than ever, they wanted to preserve their family as they are now….at this moment in time.  I couldn’t have been more honored to give this family these photos that I know will be cherished for many, many years to come.  The joy that comes with my job is sometimes so overwhelming that I can’t help but tear up.  I am thankful each day that I am able to give families lasting memories and it is so meaningful to me to be able to witness the love and connectedness with each and every family I photograph.  Here’s to family, life, love, and happiness.  PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGELove this shot below….

I was really excited to take Madison’s senior pictures.  Not only is she BEAUTIFUL, but she is just so bubbly and full of personality.  And the best part….she is super photogenic!  I loved working with her because she was just so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, so it made my job easy haha!  Before I show you her gorgeous senior session, I would like for you to get to know her a little better, so here are a few things about Madison.

Madison is a 17 year old and will be a senior at Hanover High School this fall.  She enjoys being a part of the two show choir at Hanover High School, SFX and Highlights.  She also enjoys showing her school spirit by being an HHS Varsity Cheerleader.
Finally, she  has been dancing at Kim’s School of Dance since I was 2 1/2 years old!  She isn’t busy at all!  😉
Madison has two loving, supportive parents and a little sister who looks up to her and will miss her dearly when she goes off to college.  When Madison isn’t dancing, singing, or cheering, she enjoys hanging out with her family and friends.

Now that you know a little more about Madison, take a look at her senior pictures!
