I was really excited when Phaedra told me she wanted to do a mother-son session.  There is such a special bond between mothers and their sons and I could see that this family was no different.  Phaedra also wanted their session location to have significance, so when she mentioned taking photos at the baseball field where her son plays, I was thrilled!  I thought it was a great idea and she couldn’t have chose a better location!  I had such a fun time with these two and their cute dog!

You would never guess that this little guy(well, maybe not so little!)….he will be in middle school this year!….was shy at first!  He warmed right up though and was such a HAM!  His mom warned me, and she was right!
PIN IMAGEWhat an awesome field to find at the field!  I just love it! PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE I love these images below…. PIN IMAGEAnd these!…. PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEI think this is one of my faves…. PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGEThank you again Phaedra for such a fun session!  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! 🙂

  

This family was so fun to photograph!  They were so flexible and easy going and ready to try something different and fun for their session.  I LOVE the location they chose and had a great time finding fun places to shoot with them!  When you view the images, its easy to see how much love there is in this family!  When Katherine told me her idea to incorporate the sculpture below in their session, and the story behind it, I was so excited!  Not only would they be able to carry on their tradition, but I would be a part of it!   I always enjoy bringing things like this to families.  It makes me feel so special to be a part of special moments like this!  I hope you enjoy these photos!

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….

    Carly - Carter the great! it looks like he can bake and fight crime in that cape! these are precious.ReplyCancel

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….
