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!
Ashley

Hurlburt Family – Eden Prairie Family Photography

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Jennifer and I met along with 20 other amazing women at a photography workshop last year, she gave me the honor of photographing her family afterwards and I was lucky enough to get to do it again last weekend! The boys have changed so much in the last year, sometimes it surprises me they change that fast… can only imagine what it’s like being their parents!These boys are boys, through and through… Corbin is a leader and sets a GREAT example for his little brother Hudson! I had a great time with you all, so happy the weather held out for us and we got to enjoy such a beautiful day!! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

LOVE this photo, even if Hudson isn’t up with the rest of the family, he’s still there

Tina and AJ – Just Because

Thursday, October 20, 2011

There seems to be a theme on the blog lately, love. Love between families, couples, kids and parents especially between two newlyweds like Aaron and Tina. This summer, about 3 months ago, I photographed their beautiful wedding day… needless to say Aaron wasn’t very happy when Tina said she wanted to do MORE photos. Why you ask? Well, I say why not.. but Tina’s #1 reason, her long red hair.. yes, it’s a very “girl” thing but still! I have so much love and respect for you both, thanks for having me in your life!
