Adorably Beautiful Ashley

Ok, so I may be biased in giving this title as this is my future sister-in-law, but really, she is both of those things!! What I love about Ashley is her delightful laugh, intentionality in getting to know you, and encouraging you wherever she can. She is also not afraid to be honest, no matter how hard, uncomfortable, or unpopular it is. Yes!!!! My kind of girl. ;)

One day in the beginning of January, while we were doing our Christmas celebration at my house, she just said, "could you take a few photos of me?" :) Well, yes! And because I find this to be far too much fun and care, I pulled my softbox out not long into the session.

In about 35 minutes, I captured all these goodies! Ashley absolutely makes my job easier. She loves to get her portrait taken, which is why we spent more time than necessary. Still, lighting, lens, framing, and angle choice make all the difference from making her look as stunningly adorable as she is in these.

We still kept it simple, aiming to have most close ups for marketing and social media purposes for her hair and permanent jewlery business (Instagram: @ashhairdaze). Here are a handful of my favs!!!
