Family Photos with Ashley D Photography | Columbus, Ohio | 614 Mom
I’m a big fan of family photos - some years we get them done multiple times (thankful for mini sessions offered by our family photographer) and sometimes it’s over a year before we get them done. It really just depends on what’s going on with schedules and budgets.
I grew up as an only child to a single mom and family pictures just weren’t a thing for us - I didn’t even realize people did that until I went to a friend’s house and saw theirs hanging on the walls. However now as an adult I so wish I had photos of my mom and I in that stage of life. So now that I’m the mom and it falls on me, I make sure we get them done.
Another memory that sticks out so clearly is taking a photo of my mom on a disposable camera and I LOVED it of her. She was wearing a salmon pink sweatshirt with big white letters, light jeans, and sitting on the bottom edge of her bed. I can still see the photo in my hand. When we got the photos developed my mom HATED this photo of her. While I saw my beautiful mom smiling and looking so happy - she saw those extra 10 pounds she didn’t love, her hair wasn’t perfect, and she made me get rid of it. Talk about heart-wrenching.
So now I vow to be in the photos - I may not always look like model material (like ever) but when my kids are adults they will look back and be able to remember all the fun we had. While we do take a lot of selfies and use portrait mode on my iPhone often - nothing compares to the high-quality professional photos we take each year with Ashley D Photography.
I think every family needs to find a photographer that fits best for their family and luckily for us Ashley is that person. She lends a hand when I need help making sure our outfits look nicely together, she keeps my kids having fun during photos and most importantly she is so very patient. With three young kids who all love to be the center of attention having a patient photographer is important. I’m sure many of you can relate.
Ashley is always the first to tell me how beautiful I look. It’s like she knows I need just a boost of confidence before we get started and she gives it to me.
