I usually blog a lot more often than I have been lately. In mid-November I flew back east to spend time with my mom, who as many of you know has been battling cancer. The past month has been completely dedicated to caring for and spending time with my mom and I am so thankful to be able to have the time and flexibility to do this.<br /><br />Now onto my story...<br /><br />A few weeks ago our local newspaper here in Pennsylvania was looking for locals to submit a favorite holiday memory. Our good family friend Mary submitted a story from nearly two decades ago, and the newspaper contacted her to tell her that her story had been selected to be featured in the newspaper. A reporter came by last week to ask her some follow up questions.<br /><br />This morning Mary stopped by to visit my mom, and to our surprise and delight her story was featured on the FRONT PAGE of the newspaper! This holiday memory is a great example of the kind of sweet, thoughtful people both of my parents are. Please take a minute to check it out on the newspapers website <a href="http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-12242008-1643087.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Here are some quick snapshots of my mom and Mary and the newspaper from this morning wearing the pashmina Mary got for her.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLHtlsyu1lYSW7orcOhEENOIsCYTgE4vZ5wbzfGxA70Z6s_kkBjtqMCM3oAbvZCgTNdfl2akyIOmTkm_JyXsEDBbuChAMmUTCcB6bMQJyGi8jonsAL-4oZBiS0f_INEPPj5Hv0Q/s1600-h/maryandmom.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLHtlsyu1lYSW7orcOhEENOIsCYTgE4vZ5wbzfGxA70Z6s_kkBjtqMCM3oAbvZCgTNdfl2akyIOmTkm_JyXsEDBbuChAMmUTCcB6bMQJyGi8jonsAL-4oZBiS0f_INEPPj5Hv0Q/s400/maryandmom.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283438114211917858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZSZPvaodpcrKjXDg_nJq86cN3TZEjMA3p7SgFEIRWziYneaqQee9OriyBy2DCWpGaAPvRWw4Z-r6ijIi3-TrUU1ksop9Ui_B0bu6OScS5Am4fSLOJu3TqMoXxm4IpFwRYadfaw/s1600-h/newspaper.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZSZPvaodpcrKjXDg_nJq86cN3TZEjMA3p7SgFEIRWziYneaqQee9OriyBy2DCWpGaAPvRWw4Z-r6ijIi3-TrUU1ksop9Ui_B0bu6OScS5Am4fSLOJu3TqMoXxm4IpFwRYadfaw/s400/newspaper.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283438116155469714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I also wanted to share Mary's full version of the story:<blockquote><br /><br /><br /> My family moved to Newtown Twp. from New York in 1990, and our family got friendly with our neighbors, Donna and Joe and their children, Ryan and Ashley, fellow New Yorkers, also far from family and getting to know Pennsylvania.<br /><br /> Our family put up a too large Christmas tree a few days before Christmas, and during its first night up it tipped over and all of the needles fell off, and we were looking at a skeleton of a tree. We went back to Carousel Garden and they gave us a replacement tree the afternoon of Christmas Eve, and this one crashed over sending ornaments in every direction, breaking many of the glass balls. Our children were still very young, so I tried hard to make light of it, saying it didn't matter, we'd decorate the little orange tree in the family room and Santa would put the presents under that tree. It really should not have mattered; we were together, we were in a beautiful new home, and we would be visited by Santa.<br /><br /> Donna and Joe, along with a few other of the neighbors, all new to Newtown, Pennsylvania, living in a new development, all came to our treeless house on Christmas Eve to visit and have a little party. We told the story of the falling Christmas trees as if it were a big joke, getting a lot of laughs.<br /><br /> The party broke up and everyone went home, and children were sent to bed, and outdoor Christmas lights were extinguished. We cleaned up the remains of the little party and were busy into helping Santa put presents under our little orange tree well after midnight, when I heard very light tapping on our front door.<br /><br /> When I opened the door, in my memory, snow was gently falling, but whether it was or not, or whether that is the coloring of years of a favorite memory I am not sure. But standing on our front stoop in red striped night shirts and fur coats, were Donna and Joe, holding an artificial, three foot tall, lighted Christmas tree, so "Santa will find your children", as Donna said.<br /><br /> I am particularly sentimental this year about that story. All of the children who were at our Christmas party have grown up into wonderful adults. Donna and Joe are no longer married, and Donna, with the love and support of her friends from Newtown and her children and new husband, is battling a very aggressive cancer. As I visit her to at least try to keep her company as she suffers through this terrible illness, I remind her often of this first Newtown Christmas, and what it meant to me to know that my new friends would be good friends to me forever.<br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12;"></span></span></p></blockquote><br /><br />Again, I am so thankful to be able to spend this holiday season with my mom, family, and so many wonderful friends who have been so supportive through this ordeal.<br /><br />I hope you all have a fabulous holiday season and a wonderful new year.<br />xoxAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12042272996583146466noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33565211.post-47795483020357467662008-11-26T22:16:00.000-08:002008-11-26T22:25:52.196-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!My favorite holiday of the year!

I love the colors, the smells, warm pumpkin pie, hot apple cider and it leads up to two of my favorite things... my birthday and Thanksgiving! It is not quite the same here in Vegas as it is where I grew up in Pennsylvania. No changing leaves, or crisp, cool air or haunted hayrides... but I love it just the same. <br /><br />But we do have pumpkin patches! Well sort of. We have picked pumpkins nicely displayed on hay bails. Not quite the same as going to the local farm to pick a pumpkins from the field, but I'll take it!<br /><br />Last weekend I joined my boyfriend and his 4 (almost 5!) year old daughter Layla at the pumpkin patch. <br /><br />So pretty!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_01.jpg"><br /><br />I think you would call this... sassy<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_02.jpg"><br /><br />Seriously, how cute is she?! And what gorgeous light!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_03.jpg"><br /><br />Layla was being held by her dad when she yelled that she had discovered THE pumpkin she wanted... and ran after this yellow, warty thing. I guess she likes unique things :)<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_04.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_05.jpg"><br /><br />Hanging with dad<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_06.jpg"><br /><br />Silly faces!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_07.jpg"><br /><br />This one probably weighed almost as much as she did!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_08.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_09.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/layla10_10.jpg"><br /><br />Happy Halloween everyone!

I was so excited to have a change of sceneary... and best of all get some wedding pictures amongst the changing fall leaves! This is something I've NEVER had the opportunity to do before, since beginning my career as a wedding photographer I've lived in Las Vegas where we don't really get to experience the joy of changing fall leaves. <br /><br />Christina and Corey are both cops, and met on the job! How cool is that! Their wedding was full of the warm colors of fall, and we were lucky enough to have a GORGEOUS day complete with a stunning blue sky. <br /><br />We started off at the Marriott Denver West where Christina got ready. Love this beautiful light coming in through the windows. <br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_01.jpg"><br /><br />Some details, starting off with her gorgeous tiara...<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_02.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_03.jpg"><br /><br />Getting her makeup done<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_04.jpg"><br /><br />Quick ring shot <br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_05.jpg"><br /><br />I'm in love with this gorgeous boquet, such rich color!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_06.jpg"><br /><br />The relaxed groom, waiting for the ceremony to begin...<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_07.jpg"><br /><br />I love the expression on Christina's face in this shot, so many emottions... happiness, excitement, pride.<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_08.jpg"><br /><br />Loving the back light and shadows!<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/10182008_09.jpg"><br /><br />The very hadnsome groom and groomsmen!

Warning: RANT!A personal post. Something I don't do terribly often, but I feel the need to vent. 2008 has been a rough year... <br /><br />Tonight I returned home from a weekend in Phoenix to shoot a lovely wedding. We headed straight to Chelsea's for a PUG followed by dinner. I returned to my apartment at about 11:30pm... and noticed my flat screen TV missing from the wall where it should hang. Wow! <span style="font-weight: bold;">I've had a break in.</span> I think anyone would agree that is a pretty crappy situation, not to mention scary. I briefly looked around to see if anything else was missing. Nothing. I check for my jewelery box... stll there. Phew. I call the police to report the break in. While on the phone I realize that thouh my jewelry box was still here, two important pieces were gone.... my moms wedding ring and engagement ring from my dad. I completely lost it. Of all the things you could take from me, I don't know what else could hurt more. My mom gave me those rings just last month while I was visiting her, and I held them very close to my heart. What kind of people break into your home and take things from you? I feel completely heartbroken.<br /><br />Though I called the police two hours ago to report the break in, no one has come yet... I guess it is a busy day for crime in this lovely city.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12042272996583146466noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33565211.post-67296572582281517302008-10-02T23:29:00.000-07:002008-10-02T23:43:03.408-07:00Katrina & Mark: WeddingJust a few days after their lovely engagement session, I shot Katrina and Mark's beautiful wedding. <br /><br />One of my all-time favorite dress shots<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/09272008_01.jpg" /><br /><br />Another stunning bride<br /><img src="http://www.ashleybartoletti.com/blog/09272008_02.jpg" /><br /><br />I was in love with this dress!
