Ashley J Tyler Photography

Minnesota Newborn, Children, Family, Engagement and Lifestyle Photography

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

Hiii! Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog! My name is Ashley Cohn and I'm a lifestyle photographer in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

I'll tell you a little bit about myself: I went to college at Iowa State University and the University of Minnesota majoring in Family Social Science, this gave me the foundation to work with families and children in a different situations and environments. If you asked me what I wanted to be growing up, I would have told you a teacher without a doubt in my mind. I developed a passion for working with children when I was little and have been able to combine it with my love of photography to have the best job on earth (in my opinion)...a photographer :) I love being able to capture kids, newborn babies, families, people in love, and all of life's precious moments.

A few fun facts: I am addicted to M&Ms, plain is always preferred but I can mix it up between peanut butter and the mint during Christmas time. I read almost every issue of People and US Weekly magazine, cover to cover, and check gossip sites on a daily basis. Friends is one of my favorite shows. Discovering a new song and playing it on repeat is one of life's simple pleasures. My photography business is named after my brothers and me; J is for Jesse my younger but much taller brother and Tyler is my brother who lost is battle with leukemia at the age of 8. This way they will always be a part of me.

Thanks!

My adorable Godson and his mama made the trip back to Minnesota for the holidays but we couldn’t let this time go by without a few pictures! He’s already getting so big, 3 years old now – where has the time gone? We just did a quick session yesterday around the area – because what do you get when you have a 3 year old who just wants to love on his mama? Lots of cuddly, snuggle pictures with mother and sonNext time we do family photos, Billy will be here or I will be there in Virginia!!! Love you guys!

My favorite

He’s even cute making a sad face… seriously…

After taking these – I finally noticed how alike these two are, they have the same face(s) when they laugh

“Alright, Ashley – I’m done!” Love you J

You hear that phrase, “I’ve known them FOREVER” and really wonder how long they’ve actually known those people… well I can honestly say I have known this wonderful family for almost 20 years of my life! Matthew was best friend with my brother Tyler growing up – we lived in the same neighborhood and they became inseparable! They are some of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met – Kim and Tyler you have raised 3 incredible children whom I feel lucky to know. Thanks for letting me capture your Christmas card photos!
