Meet Leland Theodore

This post is just a little late, but I think that is just how most of my life is going to go from here on out!  The past 4 weeks have been the most beautiful blur as we have adjusted to being a family of three! Our son, Leland Theodore Beatty, joined our family on […]

Sirhan Family

I love when clients become friends.  The Sirhan family is certainly one of those clients.  I started photographing them last fall and I have had so much fun getting to know them during our sessions throughout the year.  Each time I see them it is like reconnecting with old friends.  What makes spending time with […]

Baby Colin

Welcome to the family Colin Richard!  This family was waiting to be surprised to see if they would be adding another brother or a sister to the family, and Colin made 3 boys! Whoa! Kyle is my older brother, and he grew up with 2 boys directly above him in our family, so I have […]

Baby Sophia

I have to be completely honest with you here.  Sophia may have been one of my easiest babies to photograph.  She was totally out when I got there and pretty much stayed in a deep sleep the entire shoot.  I also have to be honest, I had some awesome assistants for this shoot- Mom, Dad, […]

Baby Shea

Photographing the Barlage family is always such a treat for me.  Jess and I were good friends in high school and played volleyball and softball together.  After graduating and attending different colleges we didn’t see each other much, so it has been so wonderful seeing her and her family regularly to capture this season of […]

Baby Elias

This newborn shoot was so good for my heart.  I walked into Heather and Joe’s home and it was a photographers dream- beautifully decorated to reflect their family’s unique style. clutter free, natural light pouring in, and a bedroom with a big bed with white linens.  All of the good things.  Not to mention, it smelled […]

Baby Emma

Currently we have a whole bunch of friends expecting little ones and growing their families, and it is pretty much the best.  It has been such an honor to walk through these seasons of life with those closest to me.  Being a photographer I get to spend even more intimate time with friends in these […]

Baby Luke

Oh you guys, can we please take a minute to talk about how cute big siblings are with their newborn baby brother or sister.  Yes, I will be totally honest that when parents e-mail me saying they would like to get some photographs done with their 1 week old and 2 year old a slight […]

2016 Highlights: Part 1

Wow- what a year!  2016 has topped them all, and as we close out the year I am welcoming 2017 with a grateful heart and big goals.  But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s take a little walk down memory lane together, shall we? The year started with the new Caryn Ashley Photography brand.  […]

Baby Lily

I have been friends with Katie and photographing her family for a few years now.  She is one of those moms that you just have to marvel at.  She has three little ones, manages her own business and has a beautiful home that is filled with love and laughter.  She and Ted seem to juggle […]
