I'll never ask you do to something I wouldn't do...
Hey there, loves! I'm Ashley, an adventure, elopement + boudoir photographer based out of Oregon. I am a true PNW native, coffee connoisseur, amateur beer liker, and animal lover. I love to travel but am really a homebody, I love being your hype person but I am also an extroverted introvert. Like my identities, I am many things but I will always guarantee you're getting ME. Let's chat, I would love to capture your story!
... so i'll go first!
Imagine this, its 2007, I'm 13-years-old, in the 7th grade. I had just saved up all my money, done my research and I buy my first camera. I LOVED that camera, it traveled all over with me, took some great, and awful photos and did I mention, it was pink?! But over the years money, life, "reality" all set in and that camera, and taking photos all fell to the wayside. That little piece-of-sh*t voice in my head kept telling me that "I wouldn't be good enough", or there "wasn't enough room for me in the field"- which don't even get me started on the physical plus-size fears that came with that 🙄 but when I had burnt myself out working a 9-5 in higher education, it felt like the right time to finally choose ME.
So now here we are!
