HEY THERE,
I’M ASHLEY!
A Montana mamma of 3, married to my college sweetheart, who specializing in all things photo & marketing!
In my younger years, I was raised on a cattle ranch outside of Shelby, Montana before following my family to the PNW where I completed elementary school on through High School in Snohomish, Washington.
I was an early 2000’s MYSPACE kid (lol) and taught myself code, falling in love with the freedom of web design. I would say that was my first real stem of where my passion for this style of marketing emerged. My very first job in high school was working with a portrait photography studio which fueled a love and eye for photos that eventually evolved into my marketing niche.
After High School, I raced back to the Big Sky State as fast as my 18-year-old feet could carry me to attend the University of Montana (GO GRIZ!) where I met my husband of 5 years, Colton, all the way back in 2012. While in Missoula I studied Business Management with an emphasis in Entertainment/Event Management, graduating with my Bachelors of Business Administration in the Spring of 2016.
Shortly after graduation, our life hit full stride as we moved across the state into Cat Country (STILL GO GRIZ!) We spent 3 years in Bozeman where I expanded my marketing mind as an independent consultant for social media-based cosmetics company, engaging and absorbing the ins and outs of social media marketing, taking trainings on social algorithms and really started to grasp that maybe it was something I was good at.. maybe even great. While in Bozeman we welcomed our oldest baby and wished and prayed that some stroke of fate would send us back to the Hi Line.
In Spring of 2019, those wishes came true and prayers were answered as we made our way back North to Shelby to follow a job opportunity for my husband, right back in a place I have always considered HOME. It wasn’t long before we were settled into the Shelby community, expecting baby boy number 2, buying our first home and lending a hand at the ranch every chance we had. Summer 2021 our baby girl was born, completing our family of 5.
Now a few years later, the kiddos are getting older it was time for this Montana Mamma to start getting back to capturing moments and helping small businesses market their greatness in the constantly changing marketing world.
I can’t wait to lend a hand through my lens with your photo and marketing needs, big or small!
xoxo
Ashley
