Hello there, I am Ashley! Get to know a little bit about me...
I am military wife, a dog mom to two rescue dogs, and a outdoor lover. I started Paws for Portraits in early 2022 due to having multiple health issues restraining me from working a full time job. My husband gave me the idea to pursue my passion of photography & I turn it into a full time career. I started my business in a town that I knew no one and I am so happy to say I have photographed way over 100 dogs.
Pet experience
When it comes to animals I can happily say that I have years of experience working with pets. I have worked with trainers all over the country, and I take what I have learned in those lessons with my pets to each photography sessions. personally I have worked with and had sessions with scared, aggressive, nervous, and reactive pets. Please do not feel scared to have a photography session due to having a aggressive, and or reactive dog because we can work together as a team to take some awesome photos.
Photography experience
I have been doing "just for fun" photography since 2012. In college I did family and senior photos, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and wedding receptions. I loved it so much that I always kept saying to myself, "Why can't this be my career?". And Look at me now!
I have taken, enrolled, and completed multiple photography courses over the years.
- I am a member of Unleash Education.
- Have completed The Photographers Path taught by Nichole Hill (Owner of Horizon found).
- Currently enrolled in Embark by Unleash education.
Additionally I have a degree form Penn State in Human Development and Family Studies.
