This ones for the ladies! Every mama/lady deserves the chance to really just FEEL beautiful... and AE Photography is giving you that chance and capturing it forever :) 


Ashley is offering one FREE Boudoir Session to one special lady!  You must be a fan of ae and leave a comment on our fanpage to qualify.  Entering requires a message to me (either through the blog,website, email – aephotography.info@yahoo.com, or facebook) explaining why you would like a Boudoir Session by ae and why the discount would mean so much.  You must also include a photo.  The main requirement is that you are fully open to giving Ashley the create freedom she needs to produce the shots she is looking to create.  We are also doing a promo video for ae, so short video clips may be taken (modest ones, of course) throughout the session to be included in our 5 minute promo.  We will also be using them to feature on our site, fanpage & during meetings.  A contract/model release will be signed before the session stating these details.  You will be notified of our favorite shots and when/where we plan to showcase them.


The style of ae | boudoir has always been described as “natural sexy.”  We are not Hustler or anything even remotely close to it.  We keep our photos tasteful and showcase your beauty in a very natural, expressive, sexy way.  We will have a phone, email, or online chat discussing everything so we are fully comfortable and excited for our session together!  I will also have you do an online search to find images you really love, because this session is for you, too!  Poses, styling, coloring, etc. are all things that make each session different from the next.  While I have many things I plan to do, I definitely want you to be able to select some of your favorite poses and looks!
The session will be done in your home to create the most organic feel.  This is definitely good if you are having this session done for you man.  It makes it much more personal!  If for some reason you home will not work out, we can discuss other options.  Upscale hotels (or anything unique & modern) make great options, however the client will be in charge of arrangements & payment.  Travel within 40 miles of 61049 is included free of charge unless otherwise approved by ae.  Standard travel fees apply after that!  A stylist is also an option as an add-on for an additional charge.  Let me know if you are interested in that!   Albums, products, prints, full photo discs, etc. are available at an additional charge.  This free session will include a private Online Gallery to view  an order prints & products.  I will also send you websize, watermarked versions of the photos we use for promotional purposes for you to keep and share.    I will email you our full pricing guide,which gives you more insight into what our boudoir sessions are like.  I can also email those who enter a password to our private boudoir gallery featuring sample photos from many boudoir sessions.This is going to be great fun!  Think feeling laid back, dressing up, playing model for the day and, most of all, feeling extra beautiful and having some great shots to hold onto forever!  Don’t worry if you’re shy or think you would feel uncomfortable–we will make you comfortable, and you will have FUN!  These sessions are “no boys allowed” in the shooting space, so don’t worry about Eric!  The session will take place within the next 2 months–possibly fairly soon.  I will keep this giveaway option for a little while–no specifics as of now.  A post will go up when it is closed.  I look forward to your submissions! Contact us any questions!By the way, our Self Portrait Contest will be up and running very soon now!  This will be like no other contest that we have done before.  We will be offereing gift cards as a fun gift for the winner, and that’s not all!  The gift card amounts will go up with every set of entires in the specific amount!  Check back for that!  I really can’t wait to get it started and see all of your self portraits.***Thanks to our wonderful client for these sample photos she took of her custom boudoir album we created for her man!

BUUUZZZZZz Who wants a happy baby? I DO I DO!!

Saying that today was a rough day...
would be an understatement...
Crabby, fussy babies... allllll day...
napped terrible... hardly ate...
and to top it all off.
Our saving grace of getting them out of the house couldnt happen.
It was cold and rainy all day. :(
Sad mama...
And just as my head was about to start spinning in circles...
EUREKA!
I remembered I had to do tonights review and we could FINALLY
use our new toy from HappyBabeeandBeeyond...
see here: www.HappyBabeeandBeeyond.etsy.com

Ive been dying to get one of these...
and I was gunna buy them for christmas, and put it off...
bought some chunky toddler crayons instead...
(which turned out to be more of a snack and a fight with my 1 year old... haha)
I shoulda just bought these.

The boys LOVED it...
I dunno what magical powers she sews into the seams.
(the perfectly straight seams i might add)
But somehow it is WAY cooler than just a pack of crayons...
I pulled it out, and the boys were silent...
colored... had fun... and mommy could breathe...
Happy Baby... yeah - she chose the perfect name.
They open up to be the perfect little crayon holster...
and roll up tight to toss in a bag... a drawer... where ever...
and keep all your crayons nice and tidy.

Mess free, clutter free, drama free... just the way I like it...
And once again. Made with one of my favorite prints... Goth Baby Skulls.
So cute... and totally unisex.
Check it out... They loved it..
I couldnt choose a favorite photo...
so I chose them all :)
My little lefty - coloring mama a picture...

and hiding from a picture..... haha

and so happy to have a new toy... that he is even hugging his little brother...

**sibling loving & hugging results not guaranteed, hahaha**



So, scoot over to her shop...
www.HappyBabeeandBeeyond.etsy.com
and scroll through all the pages...
cuz she has a TON of rockin stuff...
LOTS of different punky prints...
And tell us your favorites...
