The Dirty Guv'nahs have also had a recent addition to the band.  His name is Cozmo Holloway and has been a long time friend of the band.  So with the release of the new CD we needed to take some new pictures of the band with our new member.  We went up to Chris Doody's farm last week and had some amazing light.  Here are some of my favorite shots!

GOOOO WAYNE!!!!

view from my desk :)

i mean, i'm pretty much OBSESSED with this couch.

hoping to use these awesome chairs in some fun shoots to come! 

the lamp.  oh how i love this lamp.

if you are interested in setting up a consultation at my new meeting space email me at ashleyhoskinsphotography@gmail.com.  

well, the big annoucment is, i am opening a studio/meeting place!  

kinda of crazy and i still can't believe that it is actually happening but it is indeed.  it all started a few months ago when my dad bought an old building in downtown maryville to renovate.  a few months after that my dad approached me about the possibility of having an open office space there if i would be interested in using it....well, at first, i was hesitant.  one reason being, the office is in maryville.  i live in west knoxville and most of my clients tend to live around this area as well.  i wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it to make the drive.  second reason, i hadn't seen the space and had always had something specific in mind and wasn't sure if it would meet what i was looking for.  well, after going out there i realized i could totally see this space as my new home for my business.  i felt that this was an opportunity i simply could not pass up.  i am hoping to use this space for lots of fun things.  one will be a place for me to meet my clients.  i know that it might be a drive for some of you, but i promise, i am going to make it worth your trip.  this space is going to be awesome!  i feel it is going to give me the opportunity to serve my clients in a way that i just haven't been able to do thus far.  second, this space has some awesome natural light, so i am hoping to use it for some photo sessions.  it is going to be decked out in some beautiful furniture that i think is just screaming to have its' picture taken.  then, this kind of sealed the deal for me, it is going to look out to our own private garden/courtyard.  right now it is a pile of dirt and rocks, but my good friend, mitch stewart, is a landscape designer who is going to make this place awesome come spring!  PLUS, we are located right behind tomato head, so good food is just a few steps away.  and if you haven't been to downtown maryville before, this will be a great excuse to make the trip.  it is so cute and full of antique shops and some really cute boutiques!

i don't have any photos of the space to share with you yet, it is still being finished, but no blog post is complete with at least one photo so i snapped a few of some totally awesome things that are going to be going in my new place.  i just got a lensbaby a couple weeks ago so i thought i would play around with it a little bit and shot these photos with it!!  more updates to come soon!!!
