I love photographing newborns and children. They are so sweet, innocent, and perfect. They act without fear of judgment. They see the world as a place of opportunity. Opportunity to play, explore, laugh, learn. They forgive easily, love unconditionally, and give freely. There is so much we can learn from children if we watch them. What a gift they are. I love their little quirks. How different they all are. After each session I feel like I know them a little bit. I smile while I’m editing pictures of their different facial expressions and personality. So thanks for sharing them with me! Every time I photograph one of these little ones my goal is to send you home with memories of what they were like at that stage so you will always be able to revisit the joy they were. Time has a way of fading things, even the things that are currently constant. I’m so thankful for the invention of photography! What a blessing to be able to preserve those memories.

Such a sweet little thing. And she hardly even used the bathroom on any of my things. That is rare folks! I love photographing these precious little babies. Look at her. She’s so fresh, sweet, and perfect. It seriously makes me happy to get to preserve these memories for people.

I photographed this little guy as a newborn. Now he’s one. How this happens so fast never ceases to amaze me. His daddy is currently deployed. He missed his first steps and doesn’t want to miss his first haircut. I think that is so sweet. What a fantastic dad!

So here’s his little boy, waiting for him. Doesn’t this picture say it all.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of us and this great country! A little reminder of how tiny he was just a year ago!

Little Mrs. “J” was the easiest little newborn I’ve encountered so far. She crashed out and stayed out. Apparently she was awake most of the morning prior to the session. So if you have a newborn session with me don’t let them sleep all morning. Just kidding. It was fabulous though. Without further adieu.

A little sister love.

The time has come to spill the beans and share some exciting changes. I have about 5 openings left for 2009. If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to schedule.

I will not be taking sessions in January or February unless you are on my year plan and we have worked something out during that time. THE BIG NEWS . . . we will be adding our 4th child the first week of January! I love to have as much time as possible to soak in my newborns.

With that change I have made some other business decisions. I will only be taking 2 sessions a month March through June of 2010. I also have a new price list for 2010. If you are interested in getting one of those 2010 spots e-mail me at ashlie.hilton@gmail.com for the new price list.

I can’t wait to show you the adorable little cutie I photographed Monday! For now I’ll share a few more of precious little Mr. “E.”

I had to edit a couple of these. I’ve been itching to. I love these! Can’t wait to show you more.

I’m sold on doing them as new as possible. When this guy was out he was much more “out.” It was great!

Chunky babies are so cute. As a side note, I’m beginning to think I’m the only one who has babies without hair.

I’m still working on these but I thought I’d throw out a little teaser. I love how tiny she is.
