Meet your new go to girl!
Get to know me
Hey I'm Ashley, I'm a twenty one year old born and raised in the best city, Dallas! I love traveling, going to any sports event or pageant, and meeting new people everywhere I go! I was a cheerleader both competitively & through my school for about ten years of my life. Once I moved on from cheer, I picked up photography as a hobby and it quickly became my biggest passion! When I'm not behind the camera you'll definitely see me with my friends, we'll either be bed-rotting or out & about!
Let's get personal
On November 11th of 2024, I was admitted into an inpatient program for anorexia & ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder). I've struggled with body image since I was 13 years old and after graduating high school I quickly fell into my eating disorder. I dropped out of The University of Mississippi my freshman year due to my mental health which was a complete change of my plans. Later on I experienced a seizure which was a huge wake up call and by November of 2024 I admitted myself into an inpatient treatment facility.
I've continued to move up & down throughout my progress in recovery but with another residential stay and continued hard work, I've made more progress than ever! I am currently still in an intensive outpatient program therefore scheduling will be slightly limited.
I want to use photography to build confidence by bringing beauty to someone's insecurities. I know first hand how much insecurities can interrupt your life and I personally believe there's no better confidence boost than a photoshoot!
