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. 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 beautiful 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, 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 Lifestyle and Wedding 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. Grab a cup of coffee, tea, monster.. whatever it is that you drink and stay a while, don't forget to leave a comment or two and check out my social networking sites! Don't be shy and say hi!

Music

If you know me then you know that I LOVE MUSIC!! I saw these videos by Matt and Kim on You Tube and they just made me smile! I even added Daylight to one of my galleries on my website. Check them out…….

Live. Laugh. Photograph. | Addison Jane + Lillian Kate | Children Photographer | McKinney, TX

I wanted to share a few photos that I took of my precious little girls last weekend at a beautiful new location I found. I just can’t believe how fast they’re growing… Lillian is 18 months and Addison is 4.5 years old. CRAZY!

Live. Laugh. Photograph. | April + Bobby + Bump | Urban Maternity Photographer | Dallas, TX

I had a blastttt with April and Bobby, photographing them and their baby bump was an awesome experience for me. April and I went to high school together and it was so good to see her again and catch up. She is rockin’ the baby bump and just looks fabulous pregnant! I couldn’t get over the fact that Bobby knows the sex of the baby but April doesn’t. She wants to be surprised! I’m not sure if that arrangement would work for my husband and I. I just know I’d want to get it out of him. We met up at The Fountain Place in downtown Dallas which is absolutely stunning then drove  down the street to Deep Ellum.

I love the way her photos turned out. I really try to stay away from the traditional photos that everyone (well, not everyone but you know what I mean) does.. For example, I’m not interested in the heart over the belly button but that’s just me! I like to set up shots that are a little different and try to capture people as they are, I truly hope that shows in my work. I love normal meets grudge, interesting backgrounds and textures.

Bobby is fresh out of Army boot camp so they are packing up and headed to Kansas soon. I wish you guys all the best as you embark on this new adventure in life. I hope and pray that your baby is happy and healthy and that you enjoy your sleep now! Here’s a sneak peek from your Maternity Session….
