And the Winners are...

It's time to announce the winners for my New Years/Birthday contest. Are you excited?? I am! I had such a difficult time choosing the winners, there were so many wonderful stories! They were all beautifully written, extremely touching, and all full of love. It was so SO hard to choose! But I have come to my final decisions (with the prizes being slightly modified, no one entered for a Sr. Session! So couple's session it is!) and am so excited about all of these winners!

So, here is goes! Congratulations to everyone :)

Kids Session
- Michelle Logan

Couples Session (instead of Sr. Session)
- Maggie Romanski

$50 Gift Card
- Amanda Braswell

Newlywed 'Trash the Dress" Sessions
- Tristen & Ben
- Brooke & Bryan
- Felicia & Joshua

Details about each love story or entry will be posted one the blog after their session. They were all so inspiring and lovely, thank you all for sharing your lives with me. I have the best clients in the world and could not be more thankful for the love that they all have for their significant others and their trust that they put in me. Thank you all so much I cannot wait to get these started! I will be contacting you shortly for more details.

A post wouldn't be complete without a photo! So here is a new photo of me that my friend and photographer Amy took during a wedding we shot together yesterday.

Congratulations everyone!

Happy Birthday to Me & Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!! Today is my birthday and I am feeling extremely generous. I love that my birthday is on New Year's Eve, I feel it's a great way to start another year of my life - fresh and now 23! As my gift to you to ring in the new year, I have a few photo give-aways that are oh so lovely.

1. You can nominate yourself, family, friends, or anyone else you know. Whoever you nominate should be incapable of purchasing my services. *being unable to make payments on your Chateau in France doesn't count - must be a sincere financial need*

2. The nominee must reside in the Central Florida area, or at least be able to come to this area for their shoot.

3. You must email me the reason why you (or whoever you choose) should be nominated. The full story! I will choose the winners based on the nominations. Please provide contact emails for both you and the person you nominate. My email is ashleymccormick4@yahoo.com

Give an awesome gift this new year, or possibly treat yourself! Please specify in the email which gift you are wanting to give or receive.

I have had so much fun in my shoots recently, I just want to do more! If your wedding is in 2009, we can plan the session for afterward sometime. The special requirement for this one - send me your love story, how you met, how you think your future together will be, or how it already is. Inspire me to choose you!

Stunning Runners

Hi Everyone!

A very good friend of mine (and one of my brides!) recently started her own business of custom isle runners for weddings. She had a custom one of her own at her wedding and it was GORGEOUS and so unique! Now, after planning her own wedding and planning even more for her friends, she has decided to have her own business! There are TONS of custom monograms to choose from, and they are really beautiful designs. So please go check out her website at www.stunningrunners.com and spread the word to all of your engaged friends! Below are some photos of Bethney's runner at her wedding, and my favorite shot from their day. Just click on the photos to view them larger.

Congratulations Bethney on your exciting new adventure!!

Just Some Updates :)

Hi Everyone!!

I have some announcements for some new things happening around here at Ashley McCormick Photography.

• First off, this summer has been awesome, I have LOVED all of my brides, they made it a great May/June/July! I can’t thank you girls enough for providing me with such an easy way to take fantastic photos! All of you were beautiful.

• I wanted to thank everyone for voting for me in the WESH contest. There are just 3 weeks left to vote, and I can’t believe that I am holding strong in 3rd place! But please, if you haven’t voted yet, VOTE!! Have your husbands, wives, families, siblings, anyone you know vote too. I am so grateful for all of your votes and wonderful reviews already. Thank you all so much!!

• Soon I am going to be launching a brand new site dedicated strictly to portraits. I LOVE doing portraits (almost as much as weddings!) and I feel that they need a place of their own. The new site will focus on teens, kids, babies, families and pregnancy photos. I really want to build up my kid/baby work, so if you know anyone who has children under the age of 12 or a newborn please send them my way!

• On that note, because I really want to photograph some little ones, I am offering a special discount until September 30th, 2008 that any child/baby portrait session is half off. So if you have children under the age of 12, any session will now be $75 instead of $150 (What a deal!!). Plus, you will get a small proof album of the photos along with the shoot! Please just mention this blog post to receive your discount.

• To go along with our new Gallery Collections (see blog post below) I am going to be offering some new options for your prints. Soon you will have options such as metallic, pearl & linen paper, as well as canvas, standouts and matted prints. Also, I will have these adorable proof boxes to store your photos in. Photos to come soon!

• And finally, after the last wedding of the summer (Hooray for Callie & Adam!) I will be hosting a “Best Wedding 2008” contest. More details to come soon!

Hope you're had a wonderful July 16th!

NEW! Gallery Collections

Hi Everyone! Here at Ashley McCormick Photography we are starting to offer some new items, and I am so excited about it! The first in a new lineup of products is our awesome Gallery Collections. Take the photos from your session and display them on your walls for everyone to see! There are two different options for your photos, either framed or printed on canvas, both are ready to hang in your home!



There are 3 great collections to help you fill your bare walls: framed, canvas or mantle. Get your prints ready to hang in classic black frames, go modern with stretched canvas photos, or stack them on your mantle for a modern but still traditional look. You can create your own personal galleries, specific to your space, with photos from your wedding, engagement, portrait or family session *or combine all 4!*



They are the perfect edition for a new couple’s living room, a baby room, your entryway or bedroom! Collections begin at $400 and individual framed pieces start at $30, canvas at $80.



There are 13 different sizes to choose from, and 23 different designs. So pick from one of our collections or make one of your own! If you’d like to start your own Gallery Collection please give me a call at 352.516.1797 or email me at ashleymccormick4@yahoo.com

Because I am so excited about offering these new items, any gallery collection or framed/canvas print is 10% off until the end of the year! Please just mention this blog post to receive your discount.
