Some people are genuinely happy people.  Ashley is a beaming smile, a pep in her step, and an insanely positive joyful level of happy.  The kind of happy that is contagious.  The kind of happy that can change a room.  The kind of happy that is liberating.  As photographers we want to attract like minded people to our work.  We strive to show who we are through the images we take but this mom transcends any level of happy I’ve ever been. Except for maybe the time I heard my son take his first breath.  🙂 She’s inspiration for all of us who want to live a joyous and joyful life.  A life where we can overcome anything and do so with a giant grin and a positive attitude.  And still manage to raise two amazing children.  It goes without saying that I adore this mom and her family and am so incredibly grateful and lucky to be able to remind her just how special she and her amazing kids are.
