Live. Laugh. Photograph. >> Dallas / Fort. Worth Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer bio picture

  • hello, nice to meet you

    Thank you so much for your interest in Live Laugh Photograph, LLC. My name is Ashley Swallow and I’m the photographer behind the lens serving Dallas, TX and surrounding areas. I’m also a proud United States Navy wife and Mommy of two bouncing little girls named Addison and Lillian. I’m a lover of reality shows, Edward Cullen, Death Cab for Cutie, vintage tee shirts, comfortable jeans, running, fresh fruit, mac, bright colors and sand in between my toes. I also love all forms of art! Dance, music, paintings, the marker on the furniture from my 4 year old (okay, maybe not that form) and of course photography! Photography is my form of art and the way I enjoy expressing myself. I'm a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I encourage real emotions with a creative flair. I think of my style as relaxed, personable, and visionary. I will do my very best to make your vision of your photos come to life. On this blog you will find both personal and photography related updates as well as LOTS of sneak peek photos from my sessions. I'm excited about my photography journey so sit back and enjoy. :)

i heart faces | Purple

Posted in i heart faces

Guess what? This weeks theme at i heart faces is Purple! My entry this week is special to me because on the day I took this photo Mr. Fed Ex delivered a special package to my front door. My new Nikon D700! I put this cute hat on my daughter Addison and took her to the park to test out my new camera! Oh boy, it did not let me down! I fell in love with photography even more. This photo is now hanging on my wall. I just love the splash of color.. and those eyes.:)I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Check out more purple entires photos here!

Live. Laugh. Photograph. | Wardrobe 101 | What should I wear to my session?

Posted in Photography, What to Wear

A common question I get when scheduling and planning sessions is, “What should I wear to my session?” One day, I hope to have an entire Live. Laugh. Photograph. style guide available to you. For now, I will share a few basic tips!

  • Go bold or go home! I love bold colors and really hope you don’t show up to your photography session wearing matching white shirts. To be honest, that’s really not my style and if that’s what your vision is for your photos then we might not be the best match. Matching white shirts = BORING! I always tell people to coordinate colors by wearing outfits that are in the same color family.
  • Add layers to yourself. Layering is a great way to bring in other colors, patterns and fabrics. Look around your closet and pull out that old orange scarf!
  • Accessorize and add details! Wear tasteful jewelry, interesting shoes, hats, etc.
  • Stay away from Logos!
  • Little girls look super cute in pettiskirts, tutus, and giant bows.
  • Rock your little boy out in vintage tee and converse shoes.
  • Wear something you feel good in!

Here is a visual guide to coordinating clothes and some color family ideas! I hope it helps!

Love the images that actually show the client what to wear! Yes, the question of what to wear ALWAYS comes up and this is a great way to convey your point. (I found you from the IHF forum asking a question about second shooting weddings.)
