it has been a crazy couple years! i graduated college, prayed for a regular job, with regular hours, ha!, started my own business, got engaged, and got married! i really never thought that i would own my business, but feel so blessed that i have had this opportunity. i have also had the great opportunity learn from people who have been in this business for much longer than myself such as, denis reggie, kevin kubota, dane sanders, corey mcnabb, and amber holritz. i have emerged myself into forums, workshops, and classes and have made a commitment to this business for the long haul. for many reasons and from much advice, starting july 1st blackbird photography will be changing to ashley hoskins photography. when i first started this business in november of 2007 i was hoping ;) that i would be getting engaged and married soon so, i didn't really feel like it was the best decision to name the business after my name, when i was hoping that my name was going to be changing in the next year, so blackbird was born. well, as you know, i did get married and do have a new name. after a year of explaining time after time that i was the girl behind the bird, i thought, ya know, now might be a good time for me to make the change so that when people see my logo, see my business, see my photos, they know that it's me. i want to be doing this job for a very long time and felt like this was kind of my commitment to the business.....taking ownership of my work. i LOVE my logo....always have since the moment i saw it, so that will stay the same....most everything will stay the same. one more really fun thing is that here within the next couple weeks, i will have a new blogsite!!!! i have been working on this for a really long time and could not be more excited about it. the web address for that will be www.ashleyhoskinsphotography.com. it's not live yet, so if you type it in, nothing will come up, but i will let you know when it's ready, trust me!! my hope for this blog is that it will be a place that you will visit often. i will be updating weekly, sometimes even daily with photo sessions, life experiences, and some fun wedding tips. between planning my own wedding last october, and being emersed into this business, i feel like i have learned a lot about the wedding planning process and want to start sharing that more with you.
i thank all of you for your support this past year , and i ask you now for your continued support in spreading the word of the business change! i will be sending reminders of the change once the blog is live.
thank you all again and much much much love.
