Real talk for a second. Running a business is exhausting. It’s 10% photographing and 90% back-end work. I’m sharing the 9 tools that my photography business thrive on! I couldn’t live without these.

Stop wasting your time creating content that doesn’t convert!!!! I’ve spent countless hours wasting my time writing blog posts and creating pins that rarely get views. Finally, I nailed a Pinterest marketing strategy that gets me over 200k impressions a month!!! This has worked for SO many of my blog posts!

Day 55 of quarantine life and inspiration struck as I held the bouquet from Farmgirl Flowers. A whiff of nostalgia for wedding days… Oh how I miss holding the bride’s bouquet. I present to you a series of photos called “How many pictures can Ashley take with one Farmgirl Flowers bouquet?!”. The answer… a lot.

I’ve been brainstorming with my couples about different options that can provide you both an elopement and a big celebration like you have planned for. I thought I would share my ideas with YOU! These ideas can even be combined all together!

Any of you ladies stressing out about what to wear for a photoshoot? I’ve been there too. I figured I would make all our lives easier and compile a list of the best boutiques/stores for when you’re looking for a flowy dress or an outfit for a photoshoot…

If you ever have the chance to go to the Beaver Dam Sunflower Festival, I HIGHLY recommend. There are local vendors, FOOD, and SUNFLOWERS (shocker). My friends and I ventured to the festival today. It was a great little adventure! We ate snow cones and kettle corn and took LOTS of pictures.

I am excited to share with you some of Utah’s beauty!! This was one of my favorite vacations to date. I spent the week with my family exploring different National Parks and State Parks. One week later and my body is still exhausted from all of the hiking we did. We traveled to Mirror Lake, Snowbird, Bryce, and Zion which made for a full five days of adventure. The images speak for themselves!

A short and sweet trip out to Park City was much needed. It’s been THREE years since I’ve skied and growing up I went skiing almost EVERY year. On this trip, I conquered my fear of heights by hiking up a peak in the midst of a small blizzard. These pictures don’t give any justice to Park City’s beauty. The mountains were absolutely breathtaking!

Hello! Welcome to my very first BLOG POST! This has been in the back of my mind for months and I am very happy to finally be doing this. This blog will serve as a place where you can come to see my newest sessions, read about my advice for brides, and a place where you can get to know me. I want to be MORE than just a photographer and girl you see post on Instagram. Hopefully, you will feel like you know me a little bit better and feel welcomed into my very much ordinary but crazy life!
