weekend recap + site updates

Hi friends! If you had a fruitful weekend, I feel your pain. Let's continue to bask in the memories for a second, shall we? Charlie wants in on the outfit picture

Mah dudes.

I went on a hike with my fiance and all I got was this blurry picture.

I had one of the best weekends. A matinee viewing of Magic Mike with my best friend, long, drunk brunch, rooftop drinks, fireworks on (literally, on) the FDR, and a long hike with Charlie and Raven yesterday. It felt like the perfect weekend, and from what I see on social media, I wasn't alone in my sentiments. Here's hoping your weekend was wonderful.

If you haven't already, peep the "my services" section up over there on the right. I consolidated things a bit, and you can head there to see my portfolio, testimonials, and email for inquiries. It took me hours to get it right, but I felt like my previous page was lacking a little bit, so hopefully this feels streamlined and generally better.

And please reach out if you'd like to work together! As you can probably tell, I get really into it.

Happy Monday!

xoxo,

6a1ba4870bbe09f40e41327205823b4d TGIF and Happy August, friends! What are you up to this weekend? Mine is LRW packed, no time to lounge around in an adorably cozy house (see above- those details!). This morning I have a photoshoot to look forward to, which I'm pretty (understatement) excited about. Tomorrow I'm assisting / on-site styling a wedding (again, !!!), and Sunday I'm meeting a client for a closet makeover. Someone pinch me, please.

I'm looking forward to a jam-packed, awesome August. Won't you stick around? Here are some of my favorite links this week:

I want one of these stat (you know how I feel about gin).

Awesome engagement ring trend.

The most beautiful, heartbreaking, poignant thing I've ever read.

Interested in this reading list.

Incredible photographs.

This made me laugh (I can hear my friends and I going through the list! GUILTY!).

5 incredibly useful Gmail hacks.

An article about a twerking ice cream cone (which I think is weirdly adorable?).

How sexy is this?

IMG_0147 Did this summer fly by or what? I feel like I blinked and July is almost over. I'm so happy that I've been able to spend some QT away from the city. I'm totally exhausted from the weekend and I'm prepping for a very exciting client shoot this week, but I wanted to share some pretty pictures to ease you into this, the last week in July.

I had another weekend in good ol' Connecticut with family. Isn't my sister's house dreamy? In between babysitting my nephews, I managed to find time to pick up a few things at Target, mainly a pink summery dress and some patterned, wide-leg pants for vacation. I'll post a sneak peek to Instagram later, if you like!

Hope you all have a fantastic week!

AshleyCarolinePhotography(141of283) We made it, friends! Friday at last. As soon as this post hits the web, I'm off to CT again for another weekend with my family. Raven has to work so he won't be joining, but I'll have my hands full with my two nephews (and access to my sister's pool!), so I'm not complaining. Hoping to run into a field like the one in this picture. You can take the girl out of the burbs, but you can't take the burbs out of the girl...

Have a great one, and here's some awesome links from this week:

Serious business ladies drink it neat, on the rocks, or straight up.

Detergent that turns your clothing into an air purifier??

I want to live in this perfect teeny apartment.

A great alternative to place cards.

The 5 best fitness apps.

Subtly sexy shirt.

Sweet watercolor painting (cacti are everywhere!).

We need these in the US!

I've got my eye on this for a double duty cover up / date night dress.
