  • Closing out 2012

    We at Ashley Yvonne Photography would like to thank all of our loyal Tampa Bay Friends and Families for being with us this year! We’ve had a fantastic, busy and challenging year. We look forward to what 2013 will bring. I, personally am so excited to meet new families we will come across and to see all of the families that have been with us from the beginning. I’ve compiled a few of my favorite children and family portrait photographs from this year along with favorites you have chosen.

    I’m excited and happy to be starting a new year refreshed as your Tampa Bay Family photographer.

    See you all in the New Year!!!

     

  • Gaffaney Girls {Westchase Family Photographer}

    I met these precious girls at their home on a Sunny afternoon. They may have been a little shy at first but as we got into their backyard, they warmed up quickly. I’ve been wanting to do some of the photos we did today, which was the oldest daughter in her mothers wedding dress. What a beautiful little girl!

  • Allen Mother/Daughter {Tampa Bay Family Photographer}

    I met these two ladies in Westchase- Tampa, Florida after Momma Allen contacted me by phone to take photos of her and her daughter. I’ve done many family sessions but not necessarily mother/daughter photos. I am starting a Mini Session for Mothers Day next year just because of this session.

    For now, here are their gorgeous photos!

  • Photography Discounts

    I recently read a blog from a fellow photographer out of Virginia. (Go Hokies!) It hit hard and the topic is something I’ve been dwelling on for quite some time. After many, many hours of education on business and financial management, this is one of the MAIN topics of discussion:

    Photography Discounts

    It’s so difficult for me to turn people down when they tell me how much they love photography but just can’t afford my pricing. Now, I’ve made sure I’m not the most expensive in the Tampa Bay area for Family photos. In fact, my pricing is competitive for the amount of experience. Its been on my mind a lot if I should be giving so many discounts. I love my clients and I love that you all love photography as much as I do. But the bottom line is, I spend a lot of time away from my husband and other family and friends. It does effect me. I don’t mind working weekends to a certain extent. But it’s unfortunate for my family and I if I have to consider supplemental income because I’m giving things away for free. I can assure you the business costs are no where near free.

    I have tried to reduce my overhead costs by having a studio in my home and making my own props but that’s not even half of costs. With a heavy heart, I have to say No, even when I want to say yes to a discount so you may have “the most amazing family photos” , I just can’t do it. I cannot work for free. As my husband often says in relation to any business ” If an individual has a surplus of money one month, they aren’t going to call you and ask to pay you more, so no one should expect a discount.” I regularly remind myself of this.

    With that said, I view this as an opportunity to remind everyone to save up for those yearly family photos. Just as you save up for a new outfit, a new car, a toy, etc.. I recognize the economy we are in and have adjusted my pricing to reflect that but remember the value of your family photos will never depreciate. You’ll remember these family photos for life but you probably won’t remember that new outfit you purchased last week. Your great grandchildren will see these photos but they won’t see that new outfit

    I do offer limited edition sessions as well as incentives like my Referral Program, which you can find here.

  • Uhl Family {Tampa Bay Family Photographer)

    It was great to show up and see the common theme throughout this families clothing.

    BOOTS! Cowboy boots! I absolutely love that they brought their own style to the time we spent together. These are some sweet, loving people and I had a great time getting to know all of them.

  • Its a Girl!~ Inman Maternity~ {Honeymoon Island Family Photographer}

    Jared and Carol are such a cool couple. They drove a few hours to come meet me at Honeymoon Island on a Sunday morning. They’re expecting their first baby in January 2013.

    Jared and Carol told me a story of how they met. They went on a cruise with some friends. Jared then proceeds to tell me about how they went canoeing with one another. The canoe was flipped several times (we know how hard it is to keep them upright) and Carol accidentally hit Jared with her oar. Jared said “She tried to kill me!” I think its love at first oar! haha Ya I try my best to make myself and you laugh! haha (Thanks for humoring me)

    Thank you both for being so much fun to hang out with. I’m very happy for you two!
