⚡️“The future is yours to create.”⚡️ Did you know I don’t just shoot weddings? Working with businesses, ESPECIALLY women-owned businesses, is one of my absolute passions. And this shoot was particularly special, as @paintedbyashleymarie has been one of my Day 1, ride or dies. 💓 When I first started my photography journey, not everyone was entirely kind or supportive, but Ashley and Rachel of @color_me_gorgeousxo signed on as strangers, to my first styled shoot I ever planned, and have been my cheerleaders ever since. 🙏 It’s been such an honor to work alongside Ashley in this industry and watch her grow her business and salon, so when she asked me to shoot some laidback branding for the First Anniversary of @prosperitesalon , of course I was on board! One of the best things about owning your own business is instilling your own values into your brand, and I love watching Ashley take care of and value her employees, something that’s incredibly important to me, as well. Sometimes the world feels wildly overwhelming, and like what we do can’t make a difference, but women like Ashley who are leaders, doing it their own way and empowering and creating opportunities for others, making the changes they want to see in the world, make ya feel like anything is possible. 🤗 So here’s to Ashley, her salon and her lovely team! Congrats on year 1, and here’s to many more (and more locations!). Congrats Babe! You’re an absolutely queen and an inspiration! 🥂 No matter where I’m living, I’ll always return to Ash 💁‍♀️, so go check her out!! Want some fun, candid, stress-free branding shots like these! Reachout and let’s capture your brand as you really are! Picnic setup by another female owned business! @goldengardenparties ✨
