The Farmhouse Weddings in Montgomery, Texas | Ellen Ashton Photography

It has been such a long time since I have blogged. Honestly, I miss it. So, I thought I would sit down and show all you lovelies one of my favorite shoots from 2016.

The Farmhouse "thanksgiving" inspired wedding shoot was one that dreams are made of. We had an outstanding team of vendors who worked hard to make this idea come to life. I adore the idea of a thanksgiving wedding! Gathered together with all your loved ones, celebrating the union of marriage all while partaking in amazing food and lots of laughter... It's kind of perfect! Honestly, I loved working with this talented group of hardworking people and I can't wait to work with them more!

Enjoy!

Lake Harriet Bandshell Family Session | Ellen Ashton Photography | Minneapolis Family Photographer

I am so excited to share with all of you the adorable and oh so fashionable, Alves family! 

Let me just start off by saying, I think this is my favorite family session to date! Although, in all honesty, I love all my EAP family session! There is something so special about seeing a family unit interact and capturing the love they share via film. It's just so heart warming and one of a kind! 

I met Brandis (the mom) the very first year I lived in Minnesota and I had the privilege of second shooting a wedding with her last summer. I sent out an email letting all my clients and friends know I was coming to Minneapolis for some summer session. I was thrilled to get an email back from Brandis saying that they wanted to book a family session; I am SO glad they did! 

I had an absolute blast photographing Brandis and her sweet family! Her little girl "H" is so full of life and both of her kids are so precious!

I hope you enjoyed this session as much as I enjoyed photographing it!

"K" had a vision for a posed photo with mom and dad. So, here is a little sneak of him telling them what do to and the photo after was his inspiration. So cute! I love seeing his little minds at work! 

I love lifestyle sessions where you see people doing normal everyday things, like going to get ice-cream as family. I just adore sweet and precious moments like this! It's so important to remember your kids at every stage in their life, and lifestyle sessions are a great way to do that! Who wouldn't want to remember how their little loves ate ice cream?!

Thanks so much for checking out the Alves family session! 

I will be traveling back to Minneapolis this Fall to photograph more family session just in time before Christmas card season! If you would like to book a session or read more information, feel free to click the buttons below. 

Thanks again for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous week! 

Much love,
