Rainy wedding day didn’t get this group of girls down! #ashleyslaterweddings #michiganweddingphotographer #bridesmaids
Wishing I was still in bed sleeping as soundly as this precious little newborn girl... can’t wait to share her session on the blog this week! Happy Monday friends! #michiganfilmphotographer #michigannewbornphotographer #ashleyslaterphotography
I had a beautiful wedding in Grand Rapids today but before that I drank my coffee and watched Megan and Harry get married. I was obsessed with the floral arch and the 19 year old cellist...but watching them ride through the streets was so fun! Confession: I liked kate Middleton’s wedding dress better! Did you watch the #royalwedding ?!
Another favorite from a recent maternity session! This couple chose not to find out the gender... if you have kids did you find out the gender?? Or was your technician ever WRONG about the gender?!! #michiganfilmphotographer #michiganmaternityphotographer #ashleyslaterphotography
Loved this maternity session for this mama and her crew, wait until I share how adorable their three oldest kids are! I’ll probably be sharing images for weeks because they are #familygoals for sure! #ashleyslaterphotography #michiganfilmphotographer #michiganmaternityphotographer
It’s not Friday but I felt like popping in to say hey anyways! I’m so excited to see new friends around here because Instagram is my go-to when I pick up my phone and I love connecting on this platform. 💗 My wedding season starts THIS Saturday and after a particularly long winter (and having a baby) I’m SO ready to get started! 💗 Also if you live in Michigan go pick yourself up a copy of the knot Michigan because I have a real wedding featured inside (Caitlin and Andrew in northport!) and I am realllll pumped about it! 💗 Finally, I’ve gotten a few messages asking how my gluten free diet has been going and the short answer is: great! It takes a little more forethought to plan dinners but I’m feeling energized 💪🏻, satisfied 🥗, and much healthier than I’ve felt in Y.E.A.R.S! Crazy, but loving it!! 💗 I’d love to hear something from you even if it’s as trivial as if you’ve downloaded the new Charlie Puth album (because sidenote it’s not trivial, the album is amazing!) 😊 #michiganfilmphotographer #ashleyslaterweddings #michiganweddingphotographer
These @bellabelleshoes were certainly showstoppers last week at #bloombashnashville 😍 love a good pair of heels! #ashleyslaterweddings #michiganweddingphotographer #michiganfilmphotographer
One last beautiful sunset from Nashville before its wheels up back to Michigan! It was such a blast at @bloomtheworkshop being surrounded by beauty (hello @riverwoodmansion @amyosabaevents @prairielettershop !!), talent, teaching hearts and inspiring, refreshing learning and conversation! Can’t wait to share more!
Nashville! #breakfast
Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I did a proper #fridayintroductions so I thought I’d say hello today!👋🏻 ▫️ Lately I’ve been living in these @augustcloth jeans and top. I’m not even lying, these are the best jeans I’ve ever owned. They stretch, I can dry them in the dryer and they are wonderfulllll! New favorite boutique? Yes. Grab you some things and use the code ‘ASHLEY15’ for 15% off your entire order. Holla!!! 💁🏻‍♀️👯‍♀️ It’s finally gotten warm in Michigan and I’m so happy. My daffodils have bloomed and I’ve already harvested an entire vase full. My house smells insanely delicious! 🌼 Finally, I’m BACK TO WORK! It feels so good. Last week I went gluten free and have been eating super clean. I feel like a new person and have more energy than I’ve had in YEARS. I’ve also dropped 7 pounds 🙀 Still so glad I took that @everly_well test (peep my highlights to see how my test process went!) ▫️ Double tap if you like stretchy jeans, spring flowers and finding a diet that is seriously working 🙌🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 happy Friday!!
Walking into Wednesday like 🔥👊🏻🌵 loved this Arizona desert bridal session! #ashleyslaterphotography
When your digital is this pretty it’s going to make waiting for the film scans that much harder! Doesn’t this soon to be mom (like she’s due in 3 weeks with her FOURTH child) look amazing?! 😍 #ashleyslaterphotography
Ugh, these flowers=beauties. Ready to get back to it with my first lifestyle maternity session of the year today! Can’t waitttt! #finally #ashleyslaterphotography
This is one of my favorite wedding day moments... the seconds after they are husband and wife! So much joy!! #ashleyslaterphotography
