Hey hey hey!!! We have finally set our dates for Minnesota so I thought I would write a blog post so my amazing Arizona clients know to book there session before I leave or after I get back and so my amazing Minnesota clients know when I will be there and you can plan ahead for your session.

This year I decided that Alaire, Bella, Jr. and I are going to drive back to Minnesota. After my last flight incident I decided I will stay on the ground this trip. And a big shout out to my family! They are defiantly going to save my sanity so I do not loose my mind on a road trip with three kids on my own hahaha. My sister, Samantha, is going to fly down to Arizona a week before I leave to Minnesota so she can drive there with us and my mom is going to drive back to Arizona with us, stay for a week and fly home to Minnesota.

I am leaving Arizona on June 23rd and plan on being to Minnesota on June 25th. We will be leaving Minnesota on July 13th and going to stay with my sister in Kansas for a day or two and plan on being back to Arizona by July 16th or 17th. My husband, Sean, is flying to Minnesota and will be there June 29th and leaving July 9th.

Alright, now to session dates. For my Arizona clients who would like to book a summer destination session or an in-home lifestyle session to beat the heat, my last session before I leave will be June 20th and I will resume sessions when I get back on July 18th. For my Minnesota clients I will only be putting aside a couple of dates for sessions while I am there so I can also enjoy family time. I will be doing sessions the evenings of July 1st and July 8th. There will be 3-5 sessions available per date depending on which package is purchased so make sure to book yours before they fill up.

If you have any questions or would like to book a session please email me at info@ashleyflugphotography.com or go to the contact tab in the menu.

 

 

I had the privilege to photograph Kaitlyn’s senior portraits and we had a blast. Check out what Kaitlyn has to say about graduation and college below.

“I’m excited about graduating to see my growth and accomplishments through the years and see where they lead me. The college decision process has been a bit of a difficult process but it will be worth it in the end.  I applied to San Diego state university, Sacramento film school, and San Francisco film school. The most important factor for me when it came to applying to college is knowing what I want, and what college is going to support my career choice the best. I plan on taking a gap year to save up enough money to move to California and afford to go to a film school out there to pursue my dream job as an actress, director, or model. I am excited that my best friend is also applying to the same colleges as me so hopefully we get to go to college together!”

 

 

If you have ever wondered what spurs on a photographer’s passion, you are about to find out. Below are just some of the many reasons your photographer wouldn’t change their job for anything in the world.

1. Photography changes how you see things. You notice colors, textures, flowers, trees, people, shapes and light in a way most people never see them.
2. You pay more attention to the beauty around you. Even the most mundane object can become beautiful when you photograph it in a creative way. Many photographers love their job because they develop a fascination with the world around them by viewing it through new eyes
3. It’s an amazing creative outlet. You get the chance to put a little bit of who you are into each photo that you take. Anyone can click a camera’s buttons but not everyone can truly make a photo come to life
4. It’s a challenge. Creating amazing photos that capture the magic of everyday life doesn’t come without hard work, dedication and imagination. There is always something new to explore and a new way to take the same photos. It’s a job that never gets boring
5. You get to meet new people all the time. A photographer works with people from all walks of life. Getting to know someone new is a part of the process of bringing someone’s personality through in a photo. It also makes the job a lot more fun!
6. The flexibility is great. Being a full time photographer means you get to work your own hours. This doesn’t mean it’s a laid back profession though. A photographer is always aiming to perfect their craft, taking on new challenges and helping their clients achieve the perfect pictures.

When you decide to pay for a professional photo session, know that you are hiring an individual who is passionate about what they do and is willing to go the extra mile to help you create beautiful photos that you can treasure forever.
