About Us

One Thousand Words Photography is us - Angie and Ashley.  

We met in the very first class on the very first day of art school and bonded over a deep love of photography and pretty dresses.  Years later we're delightfully surprised to realize that we spend our working hours photographing people in love and the people that love them.  We are based in the Seattle area but welcome travel all over the world.  Thanks so much for stopping by our blog!

Speaking of Junebug – have you seen their book?  We have some photos in there too!  Also keep an eye out for their brand new, sure to be amazing, photography focused blog and galleries.  I’m sure I won’t be able to step away from the computer when it goes live!

The wait is over:

March 3rd, 2010 at 4:11am 7lbs 11oz 22.25″ long.  I’ll post more photos of baby – but I’m waiting until he has a name.  This post is really about the birth, and I wish I had words.  It’s more Ashley’s story than mine though and the beauty left me a little speechless – so I really only have photographs.  I will say that the Puget Sound Midwives and Birth Center were AMAZING and so was Ashley’s doula (I’ll edit the post with her info. when I get it from Ashley).

Waiting for Baby…

IMG_3014

I’m 39+ weeks pregnant now, and I really didn’t think I would last this long to be perfectly honest. My first child, Lilly, was a little early, so I thought this little guy would follow in her footsteps. He is proving that he has his own way of doing things, which is just fine. I might actually make it to his due date, March 5th. (you know I love the number 5!). We still have yet to settle on a name for the poor little guy, but we have some contenders. Lilly is still hoping we name him “Baby Dude”…. and don’t worry that one is not on our contender list, but it is the only name we have called him, so it might be his nick-name.

After a sad run-in with the flu last Saturday night, I’m glad to be feeling a little better and hoping that our little man stays put for at least a few more days so I can get all my strength up. I’m planning to have a water birth at the Puget Sound Birth Center, and I really hope everything goes according to plan and I have a very different birth experience this time. I know that birth, and the process is a total wild card, but I’m still hoping for the one I want. Lilly’s labor was 33 hours long, and very challenging. The back pain alone makes me shiver a little when I think about it. I really believe with all my heart that this birth will at least be shorter, and with the water, a little less painful.

IMG_3021We will keep you posted and I can’t wait to introduce you all to the newest member of the DeLatour family… when he gets here.

Happy Weekend

a walk at flower worldWe spent one of our weekend days (which ends up being a Monday!) here at Flower World.  It’s worth the slight trek out to Snohomish.  The chickens are a hit with my girls and the plants are a hit with me.  The fact that it’s right around the corner from Snoqualmie Ice Cream Cafe doesn’t hurt either.  Don’t forget to wear your “farmer clothes.”  Eva never does.

The good news is – we get to decorate a cake for our birthdays (Eva and I have birthdays only a week apart – she’s 3!!).  The bad news is, we have to wait until Dad gets home to eat it.

Wine Tasting for Haiti

Our neighbors at Balefire have organized a wine tasting and silent auction to benefit Haiti and we’d love to see you there!  This Thursday, the 25th, come on over!  The silent auction portion will be at our studio and wine tasting right next door at Balefire.  It’s also my birthday!  So if you were going to get me something . . .  just come to this instead!

Pssst:  We’re donating a portrait package – so this is the perfect time to purchase one!

Have a wonderful weekend!
