12 Days of Home for the Holidays Welcomes Leslie Ashe

Leslie Ashe

Hi everyone, I’m Leslie Ashe & I am SO honored, thrilled, delighted & OVER joyed to be asked to participate in the 12 Days of Home for the Holidays.

I delight in taking my family to fun, different places for our Christmas cards every year. I bring props, make them pose & we all just have such fun making family memories that will always last. Especially when you get to see them in photo’s, on layouts or in frames around the house. I love doing this every year. Now that my children are both in college (1 close to home, 1 not so close to home) it’s getting harder to get them together for such memories, but somehow it all works out. Even if it’s last minute – I enjoy EVERY last minute of taking the time to make sure we do this.
In fact, after I take their photos, I love to use them on projects throughout the month of December.

Here’s a few examples:




I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me share with you today. I hope you find the time to explore new, fun, exciting places to take your family for a photo session and enjoy the memories in the making!
May you have a very MERRY Christmas and a delightful 2014.

Photo Tip of the Day

One thing I like to make sure I’m doing when I take a photo is I always try to tell a story. Whenever I look at a photo I like to feel like I know or remember that moment. I also have embraced grainy photos. I even sometimes love a blurry photo as long as it’s telling me a story.
