Who Am I?

Hello Hello Friends,

Welcome back if you have been here before, Thank you for stopping in if you are new here!

My Name is Ashley. I am a 33 year old photographer based in Green Bay Wisconsin, with some hometown roots in Upper Michigan. I strive to help people capture memory making moments in their lives.

I developed my love of photography at a very young age always liking to be in front of the camera until my parents purchased me my very own polaroid. When I received this polaroid I got right into photographing my friends, lining up my stuffed animals for portraits, and even annoying my cat at the time with the camera to show her at all stages.

I grew up knowing the love that a camera can bring and the joy that capturing memories around it could hold. I loved making memories with people, animals, and landscapes of all different sorts. Weddings, children, families, landscapes, animals, music, and so much more. There is a vast amount that I have aimed to cover over the years. My roots always going back to concert photography.

My passion for photography grew when I was lucky enough to photograph some local musicians along side some national acts. I developed an urge to continue to push to continue to grow as an artist. I am very thankful for every opportunity that I have had along the way in this industry. I hope to continue to grow and move forward.

What is your passion? What makes you, you?

Why I love Editing

    Hello there fellow readers. Thank you for stopping in if you’ve been here before and welcome here if you’re new. I hope you all having a wonderful day! Today I want to talk about the reason I love editing. Some people don’t find any joy in any editing. I find that it can work miracles in situations with unpredictable weather. From adding in beautiful sunsets, to editing out power lines or trees that just look strange.

    You can change the entire scene behind someone with a few clicks if you’re using a green screen. The possibilities are absolutely endless. With photoshop these days you can achieve even the craziest sky swap if you play with it. Creativity is a wonderful thing to play with when you have the chance to!

      Being able to create different things or achievements. I love being able to add unseen things to an image or change what’s already there to a different spot in the image or remove something that shouldn’t be there.  Even just adding the simple touch of a filter or vignette.  

     I’ve always took my time editing images so they can live up to the highest potential and vision in my head. I have really high expectations for myself while I’m creating the photos. I want to create beautiful images that can come across as a piece of art.  

       What’s your favorite thing to photograph? Let me know down below!

Past Work

      Hey Everyone! Welcome if you’re new here and thank you to everyone who’s come back for another post!

     I’ve done a lot of photos in the past four years and I’ve been extremely lucky over the last few years! I put my heart behind all my photos and love to share them all as often as possible. 

     I’ve been lucky enough to photograph some very cool bands perform and some very beautiful places in the United States. I’ve captured the portraits of people who were taking their next step in life whether it was leaving high school or making their family bigger.  

      I want to share these photos with the world as often as possible, I’ve been very lucky. I strive to work hard to continue to show off new work as it comes. Thank you all for the support!

Animal Photography

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here if you’re new, and welcome back if you’ve been here before!

I love photographing Animals. They can be super unpredictable and funny. Every single time I’ve captured a moment of an animal being funny or looking like they know what you’re doing is a very cool feeling. There are so many different things you can photograph in life. So much to learn and so much to play with. Photographing Animals are pretty high up on my list of things to capture.

Every animal in this carousel of photos below are from a small zoo in Kentucky I believe. On a weekend vacation last year I had the chance to visit all of these animals and capture some photos while I was there. Today I just wanted to show off a few of these photos as a Sunday Funday. A short sweet and to the point blog for the day.

What is your favorite animal and why? Let me know down below.

Why I Love Photographing

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here if you’re new and welcome back if you’ve been here before!

Today I want to tell you a little about why I love photographing. I’ve always had somewhat of a fascination with cameras. From Polaroid to one time use when I was younger. I would line up my dolls and stuffed animals to take photos of them. I wanted to make them look the best that they could.

I love capturing moments and letting them last forever in a photo. This way people can look back on the moments they lived through to be able to re-live the joy they felt in those moments. They didn’t have to lose any of those moments and got to live them. Nothing lost and all gained.

Some of my favorite memories to capture are in live music. The crowd and the emotion behind them is some of the rarest emotion you can feel. I love catching crowd interaction and the moments where the bands may jump into the crowd or pull up unsuspecting fan from the crowd to sing with them. The moments where bands bring kiddos up and make their nights.

All in all I guess the reason that I love photographing is to be able to tell a story through photos. To be able to show off the happiness in someone’s face in a single moment. I love to freeze moments in time, showing off that there are always happy times even when it doesn’t feel like there can be. Freezing time to be able to look back on them is the reason I love photographing.

Hopefully you all have a wonderful day! Comment below and let me know what your favorite thing to do is and why you love it!
