Hello Readers! I hope all of you are enjoying fall! I love this weather! As if you don’t know, let me remind you that the holidays are right around the corner!
If you are interested in having custom Holiday cards done for your family, NOW is the time to schedule. I have opened up a few weekends for sessions and am trying to coordinate so everyone is able to participate. Check out the info below!
Contact me at Ashley@cleopatraphotography.com for more info or to schedule your session.
This little boy came into my life, and changed it forever… he forever will steal my heart with his smile…. I cant help but smile at him… even when he is being bad… its almost too cute to believe…
He is a talker. He speaks in full sentences and has for months already… He sings He dances, he plays the drums…
He is my little man… my Puffin.. my G… my G-man… my Vanni… my Guy-Guy…. he is my heart.
Two years have flown by… I remember looking at him when he came out and thinking… wow… here he is… I have wanted you my whole entire life, and here you are.
One day all of the nights, and time I spend away from my kids will be worth the effort. That thought defines me, and I have never been more serious about anything.
I had an amazing day with my little guy… we played and laughed and spent time outside enjoying the fall weather… he loved his cake and tacos!
enjoy a few snapshots of Giovanni…
I am in love with all things fall. The crsip air, wearing sweaters, the leaves changing, the hot cocoa and the smell of fires burning in the neighborhood, are all just a few reasons why…oh and Pumkpin white chocolate latte I love you!
anyways… I was excited we had a really warm day to take some pictures at the park… it was kind of windy yes… but by the end of the session the sweaters were coming off…
I met Baby Giana and her mommy and daddy at the park bright and early and off we went! I noticed a long walkway/trail covered in leaves that offered an awesome view full of bright yellow highlights…
A typical two year old Little Gi Gi made me work for these smiles! but she did amazing! A lot happens in a short amount of time=)
I love the pic of her throwing the leaves and also the pouty black and white image…
Thank you Becky for contacting me I hope we get to see each other soon!
Hello everyone! SOOOO here I am with Mr. Jackson. aka Jax as I like to call him…
If you follow me regularly you know that I usually don’t name my babies.. after much consideration I thought… why not? I am not using any last names or identifying personal info.
After all, I am trying to give you all a personal look at my work and in to my life.
You know me, you know my kids, and now you will also “know” my clients.
So having moved back to the Boston area recently, I have been able to reconnect with people who are people I haven’t seen in yeaaarrrrs (a decade plus)
Jackson’s Mommy and I know each other from High school, Good old Marlboro High. She is actually really good friends with my sister – in – law and they have kept in touch all these years! Not to mention my husband used to play baseball with her husband and have known each other since they were pitcher and catcher…
It’s so crazy being back for all of those reasons! Before we know it Jackson will be 2 and Giovanni will be 4, and they will be playing together growing up… continuing on like Nick and Chris.
So When Renee contacted me about having pics done of their little guy, I was so happy to oblige.
Jackson came into this world with a bang being born after an emergency C-section… according to mommy the nurses called him “lucky” … I’d say so…. having a knot in the umbilical cord and having it wrapped around his neck… lets just say that it made for an eventful arrival said mommy…
let me tell you Jackson is a fighter! He made me and mommy and daddy work for the goods! but we got them…
ok so here we go!
When I got to their house the first thing I noticed was that they had a wheel barrel in the back yard that said Jackson on it! it helps to be observant hehehe…
so being that the high today was 65 degrees… I had some reservations about having him outside… but he did great.
Enjoy the time I spent with Jackson…
mommy kept calling me his girlfriend lol… We laughed so hard because it was hilarious how he couldn’t take his eyes off of me… lol this little observant guy definitely has a place in my heart!
Renee and Nick congrats on the birth of your little man…
here are some of his images from today…

Hi Everyone!
The day of the super bowl,
(with my husband nagging about time!!!!)
I ran out and met the S family at Lakes Park for a mini session! What a great time! Little Miss E is growing so quickly.
I was really happy when her mommy contacted me for this family session…
Miss E is already 19 months! Hard to believe that the last time I saw her, she was just 7 days old! WOW
Anyhow… enjoy a few pics from their day!
Hi Everyone! OK so here we are with blog post one of three! alll going up tonight I might add!!!! So remember when I said the holidays were busy?
They got busier…
I did manage tp get my kids photographed and I just received their ornaments today! They look amaziiing! If I have time I will take and post a quick pic!
So anywho Baby M had two adoreable hats!
Here are her pics…
Hi Everyone! if your here to see A and M’s big post scroll down! If not enjoy a small post of another family session!
The B family!!! Hopefully we have something exciting in store for you with them coming up!
For now… enjoy their christmas session at Lakes Park
Hi Everyone!!!! Ok so catching up on Blogs these days isn’t an easy task! ahhh can you say busy!…. We have been editing like crazy, designing like crazy, and shooting like crazy….
Oh not to mention, we are learning the ins and outs of CS5 (amazing product btw…)
any who… I met M at the Indigo Hotel in Downtown Fort Myers to get some shots of her getting ready and hanging with her girls before the big event! after getting ready the Bride and her Dad got into the model T and headed toward the location.
A location I was super excited to photograph!
The Edison-Ford Winter Estates!!! A really cool historic place. I got there and got right to work! Shooting the little things as well as the interaction!
The guys were great and the girls were pro’s! Check them out! you’ll see.
Everyone had a blast. I shed a tear during M’s vows and laughed during A’s. The emotion was so clear… everyone with their smiling faces, children laughing and it didn’t hurt the sun shining and it was a gorgeous day.
After the ceremony we rocked out some amazing photos on the fig tree and the model T ….and headed over to the Royal Palm Yacht Club where the reception brought the house down!
This crew danced and danced and danced some more! I loved it!!!!!! absolutely adorable! The music was great, drinks were flowing and the food.. oh the food… Love how italians do it!
One or a couple of my favorite parts of the day were obviously the model T…. The location… and the food as you know… but I loved the moments on the dance floor! the jumping the getting down! the moon-walking… and the laughter
everywhere you look people were laughing and having a good time… NO coaching here folks.. this group did so much of this on their own… they made the day fun and refreshing… one more perk of the “job”
Enjoy their pics!
Lets start with the details
and this view… oh my… best rooms at The Indigo Hotel for Bridal Photography!
Right after I shot this image… this happened outside on the courthouse steps!
now a different take on a ring shot… no more on wood, or on the flowers, or twigs or leaves and stuff for a while! Because where DON’T you see that?
and a little ring shot collage…
now… back to the ladies…
M Looked Beautiful in her dress from Maggie Sottero…
Mom, Dad, and Grandma thought so too….
a fun view…
and one last spritz…
a few more of the boys …. while we waited for the brides ride to take her to “the show”
and then the model T showed up!!!
I loved the drivers attires! So appropriate for the wedding! Ralph at Model T chauffeur Services was great!
as I was taking this picture, M’s dad said I don’t know if I can look at her without crying! It really touched my heart… *sigh*
on to the Estates…
where… the boys, and girls were waiting for me =)
The ladies were so casual until they realized I was snapping away…. lol
and the guys… had fun posing for me too…
boys will be boys… correction, men will be men!
now onto the cermony…
Here comes the Bride!! I love the look on M’s face as she took a deep breath before looking down the isle… it was a great moment…
NOW…..on to the bride and grooms portraits…
This group was soo much fun!!!!! PURE and GENUINE! I love catching off the cuff moments like this…. M in the background was just a bonus!
remember I said they brought the house down…. here’s why…
and last but not least…. I feel like this shot sums up the reception… they had an amazing time…
Thank you M and A for asking me to be a part of it all!!!! xx-A
