“I don’t care what it takes, I want to do this.” Ashley’s words when we first met at Starbucks for her boudoir consultation were music to my ears!

I have known Ashley for 2 years now since we used to work together at Dutch Bros, and I always admired her confidence, maturity, and go-getter attitude from the moment we met. When she told me she wanted to do a boudoir session no matter what the cost, I was so freaking excited! 

The thing I love most about Ashley is that she doesn’t let peoples’ opinions get her down or effect what she does. I think that’s why we got along so well from the moment she joined our Dutch team years ago! During our session she was no different. Full of her cute giggles and blowing kisses at the camera, her confidence in her body and herself was so refreshing. We had so much fun dancing to Rihanna and cracking jokes during our time in the studio, and the fun continued once we met for her to see her pictures and pick her favorites! 

We had her session in May and Ashley was so excited to finish up her payment plan this last week so she could get her folio box and share it with her man! Delivering my client’s prints is easily one of my favorite parts of my job. She hadn’t seen any of her pictures in months so it was like Christmas in September being able to look through all of them again. 

Thank you again Ashley for being such an example to me and for your kind words and appreciation for my artwork! You truly were one of the best subjects a photographer could ask for.
