{flower giclee} prints

flower giclee print... coming soon!

i've had many requests, each time someone comes to my house they ask me for this painting i did in college. i never really loved it, until so many people asked me to have it. i'm finally taking it to a nice print shop, and having a few giclees made of it. so, you'll soon be able to order a print of it. if you don't want such a large piece, you can also order stationery sets, or smaller prints. its a nice statement piece with lots of texture. it blends with lots of other colors.

there is lots of texture... details are below.


its about time. :)
feel free to email me at ashleyfulmer{at}gmail{dot}com if you are interested in a print!

{branding} carolinas natural weight loss center

I'm proud to show this set off... :)

A client of mine has been working very hard on their new section of their natural health facility, in Charlotte, NC. Their new section is their weight loss system. Sounds great, I'd love to try it out! :) Anyways, through their branding project, I designed a rack card to be place in rack holders, two business cards for the physicians, and a brochure for all their info. Loved the color and quality. These turned out great.

If you're ever in the market for a new physician, these guys are fantastic. Down to earth, friendly people. Their practice is always offering webinar and free and low cost events. Here's a link to their events...

Heres info on their weight loss program: click here

I've worked personally with Debbie and Michael, they are both great people. Their bio is here.

this year for the holidays, it was all about relaxing. and i'm so glad I had the ability/priveledge to do so. it was nice just enjoying company, family, sleep, and coffee... all kinds of flavors.

as the snow started coming down christmas night, we all got excited, but to wake to it the next morning was even better. here's just a few photos of our day at my parents house enjoying the snow! a special treat... the birdhouse. love me some bird houses.



you can tell when you live in the south if you take photos of pecans :)

{my new lens!}

hello all! can i get an amen for christmas break?? Oh my, did I need that. Lots of coffee, relaxing, reading magazines, and lounging on the couch. I feel SO much better and ready to tackle the new year! We enjoyed a great snow the day after christmas, fun times in it and a great time with our families. Pics of those to come on tomorrows post!

For now... I'd like to show you some shots I took of our wedding rings with my new macro lens, and ring light flash. Man, does this open tons of doors! How awesome is this! I know many of them may look similar, but pay attention to the lighting... this flash has many features! I'm in love.



this photo below was without my ringlight flash... nice that it pulls in a lot of the background colors and softens up the photos. i love both options.
back to the ringlight flash...


lastly... playing with the depth of field and the possibilities... notice my entire camera in my husbands eye... wow. the depth! notice the slight amount of eyelashes... and how they fade into the distance...
amazed with the possibilities of what this new lens can do! excited about my shoot today with a family of 8! photos to come soon!

{blink}

I was driving in my car the other day... thinking about the bazillion things I had on my mind, my to-do list, what i've got done, what i need to get done, business ideas, gift ideas, etc... you get the point. I'm sitting here thinking, how in the world do I have time to get

all this done? I took a big deep breath and turned up my radio. This song was on. It hit me. It was exactly at the point in the song where he says

"Slow down...Slow down,

Before today becomes our yesterday

Slow down, slow down

Before you turn around and it's too late"

And it hit me. I needed to hear that. I'm so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, owning a business, and trying to make everything/everyone happy and everything run smoothly, producing my best work and getting everything I possible can done, I need to slow down... before I realize it was yesterday and I didn't take the time to invest in personal relationships. So, below is the album cover from here... and the entire song lyrics. Just take just a moment and listen.

Teach me to number my days

And count every moment before it slips away

Taking all the colors before they fade to gray

I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink

It happens in a flash

It happens in the time it takes to look back

I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life

It happens in a blink (x2)

When it's all said and done

No one remembers how far we have run

The only thing that matters is how we have loved

I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink

It happens in a flash

It happens in the time it takes to look back

I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life

It happens in a blink (x4)

Slow down, slow down

Before today becomes our yesterday

Slow down, slow down

Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink

it happens in a flash

it happens in the time it takes to look back

I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life

It happens in a blink

It happens in a blink

it happens in a flash

it happens in the time it takes to look back

I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life

It happens in a blink (x4)

And of course the graphic designer in me inspired me to look at the simple things in life, that don't worry, don't fret, they just exist. I've come to realize nobody has a deadline for me, its just me beating myself up because I'm not meeting my own unrealistic deadlines. I always think I can cram so much into a days work, that just physically is not possible. So here's to a new year of organization, time management, and making my business and my clients have the best of me.

So for now, I'm off to finish making gift tags for my family's gifts, and placing those special ribbons on them, because family is where its important. They are my support system and my rock! Merry Christmas to all! I'll be back tomorrow to post a special Christmas card I got in the mail... designed by yours truly! :)
