Introducing... Afterthoughts

My sister, Stephanie, and I have been working together since early summer and it has been wonderful! We each have a special role in our photography business.

I take the lead and do what I've always done: the portraits; arranging, posing, adjusting, etcetera. The nice, but honestly, sometimes boring stuff for kids and grown-ups alike. We try to make it fun and entertaining, don't get me wrong! But when the photographer puts away her camera, everyone tends to breathe a sigh of relief. You know it's true, but don't worry, I don't take offense. It is what it is.

Steph is more comfortable being in the background and capturing those adorable moments people aren't aware even happened: the sister giving a big brother a hug on the sidelines, the husband and wife sneaking a cuddle hug while the kids are getting their portraits taken. Steph focuses on candid photography; the honest stuff that happens in the background, or on an individual in a group. Stephanie captures what, without her, would be lost: the Afterthoughts.

So, as sisters we have teamed up: Ashlyn Photography and Afterthoughts! Here to capture for you the memories you want to remember and the memories you maybe didn't think of recording, but are funny or sweet and tenderhearted anyway. ;)
