The Schmall Family

Meet the Schmall's! A beautiful and talented family that drove all the way from Maryland (yes, my first out of state shoot!) to have their family of five and newborn son photographed. This family braved the cold and wind for their family session... and they were troopers about it! Afterward, we headed inside for precious baby Aryeh's (pronounced Are-ee-A, and means Lion) newborn session. We just missed the famous *first two weeks of life* curled up sleephead newborn stage, but after some coaxing Mr. Aryeh settled in for a good snooze and allowed for some precious moments to be captured.

'Tis the season

My own little gentleman dressed up in their holiday attire. Shawn's working on striking a pose, but Red's having some camera malfunctions. Not of the technical kind... but of the "I'm one and a half and I so do not need to sit here for this!" kind. 'Tis the season!

Christmas: The Williams Family

Picture perfect! If this first photo isn't a Christmas card keeper, I don't know what is!

Nicholas, Charlotte, & Christopher

Three walking, talking encyclopedias graced Ashley Rawlings Photography this afternoon.

Nicholas, encyclopedia of Transformers. All things Optimus Prime.
Charlotte, encyclopedia of Princesses. All things Disney.
Christopher, encyclopedia of Sesame Street. All things Elmo, Oscar, and Big Bird.

These three siblings amazed me with their politeness! The pleases, thank you's, and display of good manners were something any parent should be proud of. Two thumbs up to the parents for a job well done!!
