Crooks Christmas / Salem OR Photographer

What says "Merry Christmas" better than a tree crammed full with ornaments and lights, a couple dressed in royal red, and an attentive pug with a big red bow? Seriously, if you can think of something tell me!

Pardon the fact that it's February and I'm posting a Christmas photo, but this is cute and worth showing! Oh sorry, I haven't introduced you to Eric & Hannah. They're one of the cutest couples I know, always full of energy, drama (the good kind) and great sarcasm!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

Barchus Family / Portrait Photographer Salem, OR

Raise a hand if you're loving the Christmas color and coordination happening in these photos!

Back when Red Pearl Designs, Bumbles Boutique and I hosted the Christmas Open House Misty gave in to the idea of family portraits and we scheduled for a Christmassy-themed shoot out at Olson Farms.

Talk about a sharp looking group, these guys rocked this shoot with plenty of style, amazing attitudes, and killer smiles! They all have these incredible aqua-blue/green colored eyes that I'm majorly jealous of!

Giving Is Awesome

I'm so excited to share that I have signed up for Giving is Awesome, a worldwide cause to promote photographic giveaways to a family who deserves amazing photographs!

I'm giving $500 credit to cover the session and plenty of prints to the winning family, and a free session to the person that nominated them (valued at $150)! Pretty neat, huh?

Here's what you gotta do. Think of a family or two that you'd like to nominate for the give-away and send me an email explaining why they deserve some awesome new photos. It could be a family that wouldn't be able to afford photos, or just some folks you admire for their selfless giving to others. This is a great way to give back to those around you, so spread the word and let's find a truly deserving family to bless the socks off of!

To nominate others, email me at ashley@ashleysturmphotography.com with a family's story! The nomination will be open until Monday, January 4th 11:59PM (two weeks from today) and I will announce a winner on Wednesday January 6th!

Can't wait to hear who's deserving in your life! Thanks everyone!!!
