Inspiring Love: Kara and Ashton



"Babies are such a nice way to start people!"
-Don Herrold

I met Kara and Ashton on a lovely November afternoon. Their photoshoot had been a gift given to them by Ashton's sister, Brittany. I was excited to shoot the couple, knowing that they were expecting a boy in December.

From the moment I first shook their hands I knew that they were special. Kara had a smile that was warm and contagious. Ashton was both stylish and fun.. and their was a certain vibe about him that said "protective new dad." Everything about this couple made me certain that they were going to be wonderful new parents. We shot in the park and then at Kara's mother's home in the stair well. For me as the photographer, I felt that the scenery was irrelevant to this shoot.. the couple was so charismatic and sincerely happy. Nothing in the background would have even come close to comparing with their energy and beauty.. for me it was a perfect shoot. Even after we had finished up.. I kept up to date on the progress of the pregnancy.. and was happy to hear that on December 10th at 3:04pm Grayson Timothy Robin Light was born, weighing 11lbs 3oz. CONGRATS!!
