School is back in session… so let’s make those first-day-of-school smiles POP!
I’m bringing back one of my favorite things about this time of year with a fun, colorful twist on traditional school pictures!
Introducing Poppin’ Back into School! — a special day of school picture minis designed to capture your kiddos exactly as they are right now, before they grow another inch, lose another tooth, or suddenly decide they’re “too cool” for pictures. So, If you have a little one in daycare, not in daycare, don’t like traditional school pictures, your child may need more than 2 minutes to warm up to a real smile, or you homeschool, THIS IS FOR YOU!
Saturday, September 5th– this is limited to one day as it has real popcorn!
$50 to book
These are quick, easy, FUN school picture minis with a playful back-to-school theme that will give you something a little more special than the standard school picture backdrop.
And because I know choosing your favorites can be HARD… you won’t have to decide everything at your session! There is a $50 retainer to book your session time! This covers your session time only.
After your session, you’ll receive an online proof gallery right in your email. You will have access to this gallery for one week only and from there, you’ll be able to look through your images from the comfort of home, choose the photographs you absolutely love, and purchase your favorites completely online. No ordering appointment. No pressure. Just grab your favorites together!
Whether you’re wanting that classic school-picture smile, a few fun personality shots, or updated portraits to remember this exact stage of childhood, Poppin’ Back into School is the perfect little fall update.
Because these kids are going to grow up WAY too fast.
Let’s freeze this version of them for a minute.
Poppin’ Back into School!
Saturday, September 5th
Spots are limited, and once the minis are full, they’re full!
and… if you would like to book a fall family session or have a baby on the way or that just arrived, or maybe a baby turning one, message or call me! Let’s get you booked!
“Fall is still a little ways away. I’ll book pictures later.”
Nope.
I’m here to lovingly tell you:
Don’t wait until October to book your fall family photos.
(Also… I don’t know if you have been hearing that winter may come early this year and weather is supposed to be getting crazy! lol I’ll see it when I believe it, however, I’m also getting my family photos booked early too just in case… because I just love outdoor fall family photos! Snow’s cool… but I put my family photos up huge on the wall and I don’t want snow all year round… Just saying…)
Before you know it, we’re going to be knee-deep in pumpkin patches, football games, school activities, Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving plans and Christmas shopping…
…and suddenly you’re texting your photographer (which of course is me right!!):
“Do you have ANYTHING available before Christmas?”
Let’s not do that this year.
Let’s get your family on the calendar NOW.
Fall is one of my absolute favorite times of year for family photography.
There’s just something about this season.
The cozy clothes.
The warm neutrals.
The little boots.
The sweaters.
The beautiful Texas light.
Your babies looking just a little bit older than they did last year.
And those photographs that somehow make your house feel even more like HOME.
Whether you’re planning updated family portraits, pictures for your Christmas cards, new artwork for the walls or simply want to document your family exactly as they are right now…
Fall is the perfect excuse.
But here’s the thing about fall photography…
Everyone wants it.
And there are only so many evenings and weekends in a photographer’s calendar.
That’s why I always encourage my families to reserve their fall session before fall actually arrives.
Your session date doesn’t need to be tomorrow.
You just need to get your spot secured.
Then you can check “family pictures” off your list and go enjoy the season.
What should we wear?
This is where the fun begins.
Think:
Warm browns Creams & ivory Black Taupe & khaki Rust & muted autumn tones Classic denim Soft textures and layers
And if you’re thinking, “Ashley, I have NO idea what we’re all going to wear,”…
Don’t panic.
That’s literally what I’m here for.
I can help you coordinate your family’s outfits so your final images look beautiful together without everyone looking like they showed up wearing the exact same shirt.
And please don’t forget the babies.
This is probably the biggest reason I tell families not to wait.
Your baby may be sitting up now.
Your toddler may be starting to talk.
Your little girl may be missing her front teeth.
Your son may suddenly be six inches taller than he was last fall.
These little seasons don’t repeat themselves.
That’s what makes photography so special.
We’re not just taking pictures of what your family looks like.
We’re documenting who they are right now.
The tiny hands.
The crooked smiles.
The missing teeth.
The belly laughs.
The way your toddler still wants to be carried.
The way your kids look at you.
Those are the things you’ll miss someday.
And those are exactly the things I want to give you back through your photographs.
(I often hear,
“omg we haven’t even had family photos since we had our last child”
“oh no! well, how old is he?”
“He’s 5!!!”
“For shame!!!!!!!!! yes, I’m shaming!! lol”)
Fall dates are officially on my calendar and I’m also offering Sundays!!
If you’ve been saying:
“We really need family pictures.”
“We haven’t updated our family photos in forever.”
“I need pictures for Christmas cards.”
“The kids have changed SO much since our last session.”
This is your sign.
Let’s get your family on the calendar now.
I’ll help you plan the outfits, choose the perfect session, and make sure you’re prepared before you ever step in front of my camera.
Ready to reserve your fall family photography session?

I have so many cool things to put up on your wall, or on your coffee table, ottoman, fire place, or mantle! Let’s do it!!
There is nothing quite like bringing home a brand-new baby.
Those tiny fingers, squishy cheeks, sleepy smiles, flaky little toes, and the way they curl perfectly into your arms… before you know it, they’re changing every single day. As a newborn photographer, preserving those first precious moments has been my greatest passion for well over a decade, and I’m so excited to finally share something I’ve been working on!
Say Hello to Petite Newborn Sessions!
I’m thrilled to officially introduce Petite Newborn Sessions at Abstract Photography Studio!
Over the years, I’ve had so many conversations with expecting parents who absolutely loved my work but weren’t quite looking for a full luxury newborn experience. Some simply wanted beautiful portraits of their baby, some just wanted digitals and weren’t quite interested in wall art or keepsakes, while others were hoping for something a little shorter and more budget-friendly.
I listened…. and I’m ready. You see… newborn photography is a learned craft that takes an insane amount of patience, experience to master, and of course we can’t forget all of the lighting techniques, wrapping techniques, backgrounds, wraps on hand, outfits on hand, bows, hats, etc… ALL the things you need to have on hand so that mom and dad don’t have to buy them to use just once. Spend your dollars on pictures, not the stuff your photographer should have for you… or at least that’s how I feel about it. So, to wrap all of this up into a “petite session”, it requires knowledge and lots of experience. Babies are unpredictable. They can’t tell you, “hey! I’m not doing that pose today, my tummy hurts, don’t do that, or hey! that’s not comfortable or safe, I can’t breathe” You have to be trained in this to know, be aware, and read how your baby is responding. That’s where I come in and I’m ready to offer shorter sessions.
I wanted to create an option that allows more families to experience professional newborn photography without sacrificing the quality, safety, and artistry that my studio is known for.
And that’s exactly how Petite Newborn Sessions were born!
These sessions are sweet, simple, and designed entirely around your beautiful new baby.
What’s Included?
Baby-only session
Wrapped and gently posed newborn portraits
Approximately 45–60 minutes
10 professionally hand-edited digital images of your choice
Session fee included (I’m a complete package!)
Investment: $890 ($100 off for the month of August! So book fast!)
Simple. Beautiful. Timeless.
The Same Signature Style… Just a Little Smaller
Although Petite Newborn Sessions are shorter, nothing changes when it comes to the quality of your images.
Every baby is photographed safely, patiently, and with the same artistic lighting, attention to detail, and professional editing that families have trusted me with for years.
But beautiful photographs are only part of what you’re investing in.
Your newborn’s safety will always be my highest priority.
Those adorable sleepy poses you see online may look effortless, but they require education, patience, experience, and a thorough understanding of newborn safety. Your baby is precious, delicate, and deserves to be in the hands of someone who has invested in professional newborn training and carries business insurance for your family’s peace of mind.
When choosing a newborn photographer, I always encourage parents to look beyond pricing alone. Ask questions. Make sure your photographer has been educated in safely handling and posing newborns, operates a fully insured business, and has experience working with these tiny little miracles.
Your baby will never be this little again, and those first few weeks are simply too important to trust to just anyone.
When you walk through my doors, you can relax knowing your little one will be cared for with gentleness, patience, and years of experience, while you sit back and enjoy watching your baby’s very first portraits come to life.
If you’ve been dreaming about family portraits, sibling images, multiple setups, or creating breathtaking heirloom artwork for your home, that full luxury experience is still available and continues to be one of my favorite ways to tell your family’s story. I have recently made a change and added a full digital option as well for the parents who just have to have all the digitals.
After your session, you’ll also have the opportunity to transform your favorite portraits into handcrafted albums, elegant keepsake collection boxes, and stunning wall art designed to become treasured family heirlooms for generations.
While I know we live in a digital world, I will always believe there is something incredibly special about walking past your baby’s portrait hanging on your wall every single day. Those printed memories become part of your family’s story in a way a phone or computer simply can’t replace.
Let’s Capture This Once-in-a-Lifetime Season
The newborn stage is one of the shortest seasons of parenthood.
The sleepy stretches, tiny eyelashes, little yawns, and curled-up poses disappear before you know it. That’s why newborn portraits are best photographed within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are naturally sleepiest and most comfortable.
The best time to reserve your session is during your second trimester. We’ll pencil in your due date, and once your little one arrives, we’ll schedule your session at the perfect time.
If you’re expecting and searching for a newborn photographer in Big Spring, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, or anywhere throughout West Texas, I’d be honored to help preserve this unforgettable chapter of your family’s story.
I truly cannot wait to meet all of the sweet little babies who’ll be visiting the studio for these new Petite Newborn Sessions.
They’re tiny for such a short time…
Let’s capture every beautiful little detail together.
OMG! yes! Alert the grandparents to pull out the checkbook!!
Let’s talk about something real for a second…
Not every family is in the same season financially.
And as much as so many parents want newborn photos… sometimes the thought of a full custom session feels just out of reach.
But here’s the thing:
That doesn’t make your baby any less deserving of being beautifully, safely, professionally photographed.
And it doesn’t mean you should have to miss out.
Introducing: Petite Newborn Sessions
I’m so excited to now offer Petite Newborn Sessions in my cozy studio in Big Spring, Texas — created specifically for families who want a shorter, baby-focused option on a budget while still receiving professional, high-quality images by a photographer who knows her craft.
These sessions are:
Baby-only (wrapped sessions) 30–45 minutes Calm, safe, and fully guided with some relaxed posing. Designed for simplicity and timeless beauty
No overwhelm. No pressure. Just your tiny baby, captured beautifully.
A Full Studio Experience (Without You Lifting a Finger)
One of the biggest things parents worry about?
“What do I need to bring?”
The answer: nothing.
My studio is fully stocked with: high-quality wraps and newborn fabrics carefully selected props soft, neutral setups and tons of colors for other options everything needed to keep your baby comfortable and safe
You don’t need to shop. You don’t need to plan. You don’t need to stress.
Just come in, relax, and let me take care of the rest.
What’s Included
5 fully edited digital imagesof your choice.
Session fee included
$750 total investment
This is a smaller offering — but it still reflects the same care, safety, and experience I’ve built over 10+ years as a newborn photographer.
Because even a “petite” session should still feel special.
Perfect For…
These sessions are ideal if:
you’re wanting professional photos on a smaller budget you’re a first-time parent just wanting something simple you’ve been gifted a session (hello, baby shower idea ) you love the clean, wrapped newborn look
It’s also a beautiful option for families coming from Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, Stanton, and surrounding West Texas areas who want a meaningful experience without a full custom session.
Why Wrapped Sessions?
Wrapped sessions keep baby:
cozy secure calm
can maximize portraits in a short amount of time
And allow me to safely pose your newborn in a way that highlights all those tiny, perfect details — without overstimulating them.
(Also… wrapped babies = instant sleepy vibes )
A Simple Option — With Professional Care
This is a petite experience, not a full custom session.
It doesn’t include:
parent or sibling images
multiple setups like a fully custom session
full galleries or heirloom collections and those museum quality prints you would receive with a custom session
But it does give you something incredibly important:
Safe, professional, timeless images of your baby in their tiniest stage on a budget.
And that matters.
Now… do I really just take 5 photos?
umm… nope! lol! I take more! You can upgrade later if you would like of course, but the Petite Newborn Session does come with 5 polished digitals of your choice!
Limited Availability
Because these are shorter sessions, I’ll be offering a limited number each month alongside my full custom newborn sessions.

Pregnancy: “I don’t feel cute right now… I’ll wait.”
Newborn stage: “I’m exhausted… I’ll wait.”
3 months later: “Life is crazy… I’ll wait.”
1 year later: …wait.
Now you’re scrolling your camera roll thinking:
“Why didn’t I just do the photos?”
Pregnancy Is… Not Always Glamorous (Let’s Be Honest)
There’s this expectation that pregnancy should feel magical and glowing.
But in reality?
you’re tired
your face and feet are swollen
nothing fits right
everything hurts
and your emotions are all over the place
“Glowing” sometimes just means sweaty.
So of course the thought is:
“I’ll take photos when I feel more like myself.”
But here’s the truth…
This version of you matters too.
The one growing a whole human. The one in the waiting season. The one your baby will one day look back at in awe.
And Then Baby Arrives…
And suddenly you’re in survival mode.
running on no sleep
covered in milk (or spit up… or both)
wondering what day it is
Photos?
They feel like the last thing on your mind.
But here’s the wild part:
This is the stage that disappears the fastest.
Those tiny fingers. The sleepy stretches. The way they curl up on your chest.
It changes in weeks.
Real Talk From the Studio
After well over 10 years of photographing baby bumps and newborns in my Big Spring, Texas studio, I can tell you something with full confidence:
The moms who say: “I almost didn’t book this…”
Are the SAME moms crying at their ordering appointment.
Every. Single. Time.
Because once they see it?
They realize:
“This is what I didn’t want to forget.”
You Don’t Need to Feel “Ready”
You don’t need:
the perfect body
the perfect outfit
the perfect schedule
You just need to show up. This is where I come in! I’ll make you look amazing and yet, still like yourself! We will get that epic shot that makes you feel like a million bucks and if you have other littles that are on the go and you aren’t sure if they will be still long enough for the shot…. just look through the website galleries of Facebook posts… they are full of the same scenario but we got it! Truth is, it only takes a second!
I guide you through everything — from what to wear to how to hold your baby and fix your face — so you can actually relax and just be present.
Worth the Drive (And Designed to Be Easy)
My cozy boutique studio is located in Big Spring, TX, and I regularly serve families from:
Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, and surrounding West Texas areas (I’m so blessed to have families that drive in to see me and locals who trust me!)
Everything is designed to be simple and stress-free: snacks + drinks baby-led sessions a calm, welcoming environment
activities to keep the other kidos happy
Because you have enough going on already.
The Honest Reminder You Might Need
There is never a “perfect” time.
There is only: now or wishing you had
Let’s Not Be the “I Wish I Had” Story
If you’re expecting or recently had a baby, this is your sign.
Book the session. Take the photos. Be in them and trust me!
Because one day, these will mean everything.
Call, text, or message me! Let’s get you scheduled for a consultation to go over everything or go ahead and get you booked! Let’s do it! I cannot wait to meet you!
You cannot spoil a newborn by holding them too much.
Not now.
Not ever.
Not even a little.
And yet… so many parents still hear things like:
“Put them down or they’ll get used to it.”
“You’re going to spoil that baby.”
“They need to learn independence.”
Cue the mom guilt.
The Truth About Newborns (That No One Says Loud Enough)
Your baby spent 9 months:
warm
safe
constantly held
listening to your heartbeat
And then suddenly…
They’re in a big, bright, loud world where everything is new.
Of course they want to be held.
You are their safety.
What Science Actually Says
Research shows that holding your baby:
helps regulate their heart rate and breathing
reduces stress (for baby AND you)
supports brain development
builds secure attachment
Translation?
Holding your baby is not a bad habit — it’s biological need.
You’re not “spoiling” them.
You’re literally helping them grow.
The Part No One Warns You About
One day…
You will put your baby down and not even realize it’s the last time they fit perfectly in your arms.
They won’t curl into your chest the same way.
They won’t need you the same way.
And no parent has ever said:
“I wish I held my baby less.”
But so many have said:
“I wish I soaked it in more.”
From a Photographer’s Perspective…
I’ve spent over a decade photographing newborns here in my Big Spring, Texas studio, and I can tell you this with full confidence:
The babies who are held, soothed, and loved on?
They settle better.
They feel secure.
They trust the environment.
And honestly… those snuggly, connected moments?
They make the most meaningful images.
Not the perfectly posed ones.
The real ones.
For Moms in Big Spring, Midland, Odessa & Beyond
Families travel to my studio from Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, and surrounding West Texas areas for a calm, baby-led experience.
There is no rushing here.
No pressure for “perfect.”
And absolutely no expectation to put your baby down if they need you.
You can hold them as much as you want.
(Actually… I encourage it.)
A Gentle Reminder
This stage is short.
Exhausting, yes… but incredibly fleeting.
So if your baby wants to be held?
Hold them.
Rock them.
Soak them in.
Memorize the feeling.
Because one day… you’ll miss it.
Let’s Remember This Season
If you’re expecting or have recently welcomed a baby, I would love to help you capture this tiny, fleeting stage in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
Studio located in Big Spring, TX, serving families from Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, and Lubbock.
Because these moments deserve to be remembered — just as they are.
So, call me, text me, email me, message me! Let’s get you started! 432-270-2255
Spring break is almost here, and if you’re a parent, you probably have one of two plans:
Plan A: A fun family trip.
Plan B: Survive the week.
Between road trips, playground adventures, backyard chaos, and kids eating snacks every 17 minutes, spring break tends to fly by in a blur.
And while most parents take plenty of phone photos during the week, there’s something funny that almost always happens…
Mom is missing from most of them.
The Mom Behind the Camera
Scroll through your camera roll for a second.
How many photos do you have of:
the kids
dad with the kids
the dog
random snacks
…but almost none of you with your babies?
It’s one of the most common things I hear when families come into my studio in Big Spring, Texas.
Moms will say things like:
“I realized I’m never in the photos.”
“I have thousands of pictures of my kids but none with me.”
“I wish I had done this sooner.”
And honestly? They’re not wrong. As a photographer mom… I’m rarely in pics and I want to be. I want to preserve those memories of me with my babies so that they can have those when they grow up. I can honestly say… I don’t have enough pictures of my mom. She was good about getting pictures done of us at church growing up, but it wasn’t enough. If you know me, you know I’m all about capturing personalities, smiles, attitudes, habits and so much more that we have in that moment at that time. I love to see emotion so that the photograph means something and you can think back “omg… I loved when she did that” The professional pictures I have of us growing up didn’t show those emotions… and there weren’t enough. My mom isn’t here anymore and it matters. I take more pictures now for my daughter so that she can have plenty to look back on. Even in moments when I don’t like the way I look or I’m not picture ready… our kids love us no matter what. They love us when we don’t have makeup on… tired, bags under our eyes… in sweats… sick… they don’t care. So, make time to be in the pics with your kidos. It matters to the child that grows up.
Why Professional Photos Matter More Than You Think
Your phone does an amazing job capturing everyday moments.
But professional photography does something different.
It slows time down.
The way your toddler grabs your hand.
The way your newborn curls up on your chest.
The way your kids look at you like you’re their whole world.
Those moments deserve more than living inside a camera roll that gets lost in the shuffle of daily life.
They deserve to live on your walls, in albums, and in keepsake boxes that your kids will one day flip through.
If choosing a professional photographer, not Uncle Sam who bought a fancy camera and has a new hobby, but an experienced photographer… they seek out the little things in the special moments of your session. We will capture things you didn’t see but will absolutely be glad we did.
Spring Is the Perfect Time for Family Photos
Spring sessions are some of my favorites because everything feels fresh and full of life.
Kids are energetic.
Families are out of winter mode.
And everyone is ready for sunshine and new memories and the sun stays out longer again, finally!
My studio in Big Spring, TX welcomes families from all over Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, San Angelo, Abilene, Stanton, and surrounding West Texas communities who want a relaxed, guided photography experience.
No stress.
No guessing what to do.
Just beautiful moments captured forever.
A Little Spring Break Reminder
While you’re planning spring break adventures this week, remember something simple:
Your kids won’t remember the snacks you packed.
But they will remember the photos that show how loved they were.
And one day, they’ll be incredibly grateful that you were in those photos too.
Let’s Capture This Season Before It Flies By
I take a limited number of sessions each month to give every family the attention and care they deserve. There’s a lot of care that goes into your images after your session as well.
If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos or documenting a new baby this spring, now is the perfect time to reserve your session.
Families travel from Big Spring, Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, San Angelo, and Abilene for the cozy, boutique experience my studio offers — and I would love to welcome yours.
Because childhood moves fast.
And these moments deserve to be remembered.

Let’s talk about something that makes people uncomfortable:
Pricing.
If you’ve ever looked at newborn photography and thought,
“Wait… why does this cost more than my wedding cake?”
You’re not alone.
But here’s what most people don’t see…. and maybe that’s because I’m so seasoned at it, I don’t show it or talk about it…
You’re Not Paying for an Hour.
You’re paying for:
• 10+ years of experience
• Professional newborn safety training (including APNPI education)
• A fully stocked boutique studio
• Hours of careful editing
• Sanitation, props, wraps, lighting
• Patience (so much patience)
• And someone who knows how to safely pose your 7-day-old baby
Newborn photography isn’t just clicking a button.
It’s knowing how to read a baby’s breathing.
How to support their neck.
How to soothe them without rushing.
And that kind of experience doesn’t happen overnight.
“But I Could Just Use My Phone…”
Absolutely.
You can also cut your own hair.
Paint your own house.
Bake your own wedding cake.
Sometimes it works.
But sometimes… you wish you hadn’t.
There is nothing wrong with wanting professional images of the most fleeting season of your life. And there is nothing wrong with investing in it. Oh! and yes… there is AI now for you to use… but what they don’t tell you is… those are someone else’s baby body parts they are using to make your baby’s picture (Yikes!) I don’t know about you, but I don’t like that! I want to remember MY baby when I look back at my photos.
This Isn’t About Photos.
It’s about:
• The last time your baby fits in your hands
• The tiny wrinkles that disappear in weeks
• The way your older child looked at their new sibling
It’s about freezing a moment that you physically cannot recreate.
And here’s the truth no one says out loud:
Most parents don’t regret investing in photos.
They regret not doing them.

Valentine’s Day is usually all hearts, chocolate, and overpriced flowers…
but let’s be honest — when you’re pregnant or holding a brand-new baby, romance looks a little different.
It looks like:
compression socks and heartburn
swollen ankles instead of sexy heels
dry shampoo as self-care
and a baby who thinks 2 a.m. is the perfect time for cuddles
And yet… this is one of the most love-filled seasons of your life.
“I Don’t Feel Cute Enough for Photos”
I hear this all the time from expecting moms.
“I’ll wait until I feel better.”
“I don’t look like myself.”
“I’ll do photos after the baby is here.”
And then years later — almost every single mom tells me the same thing:
“I wish I had done maternity photos.”
Not because they felt perfect…
but because they want to remember this version of love.
The anticipation.
The quiet excitement.
The last moments before your life changes forever.
True Story: The Valentine Session No One Expected
I once photographed a maternity session close to Valentine’s Day where mom told me she “just wanted one nice photo.”
By the end?
Dad was crying
Mom said she hadn’t felt beautiful in months
And they booked newborn photos before they even left the studio
Because seeing yourself through someone else’s lens — especially during pregnancy — can change everything.
Newborn Love Hits Different
And then baby arrives…
and suddenly Valentine’s Day isn’t about roses — it’s about tiny fingers, sleepy snuggles, and that overwhelming kind of love you can’t explain.
Those first weeks are messy, exhausting, and magical.
They’re also gone in a blink.
That’s why I always say:
Newborn photos aren’t about perfection — they’re about preserving a feeling.
A Boutique Studio Worth the Drive
My studio is located in Big Spring, Texas, and families regularly travel from Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, and beyond for a calm, cozy, boutique experience.
You don’t have to stress about:
what to wear
how baby will behave
or feeling awkward in front of the camera
That’s my job — you just show up and love your baby.
Valentine’s Reminder (This Is the Urgent Part)
I take a limited number of maternity and newborn sessions each month so every family gets the time, patience, and attention they deserve.
If you’re:
currently pregnant
due in the next few months
or holding a newborn right now
This is your sign to book.
Because the one thing every mom has in common — whether they booked or not — is that they wish they could go back and freeze time just a little longer.
