Brand Photographer for Creatives

IT'S TIME TO BE SEEN AND SHARE YOUR STORY

Purposeful - Personal - Powerful 

Personal Branding Photography will have clients falling in love with YOU and your brand.

Personal branding is more than a collection of headshots.  It's a library of images that look like you, feel like you, and convert your audience into clients.  YOU are your brand and it's time to own your story. Let's showcase your services and products in a way that is unique to you.

Are you struggling with finding the time to consistently create images to post, not having enough visual content that’s consistent and personalized to your business, or not knowing how to properly use your brand images? 
That’s where I can help…

Things to know about

Ashley

My handsome hubby, Aaron, and I are going on our 15th year of marriage (you can read our story on the blog). 

I started Broad River Photography in 2007.

There's no such thing as too many handcrafted coffee mugs.

I make homemade wine from my grandparents' original muscadine vines, but I prefer beer over wine.

I've never been to Target.

I've been known to put sweaters on my chickens. 

I overuse exclamation points!!!!!!!

My superpower is organizing (even the stuff in my attic is color-coded and labeled).

I have a twin brother (and 3 step brothers).

We have one basset hound (Doppler), one majestic porch lion (Hammy), two horses, and loads of chickens.

GOAL: To have an eclectic little greenhouse where I can hang with my plants.  And, to have a highland cow!

photographer & hype-woman

There are so many small business owners out there that are in need of a strong visual brand.  It's such a joy to team up with creative entrepreneurs and bring their story and products to life!

With more than 18 years experience in the wedding industry, I’ve come to be known for photographs that capture my clients as they truly are - authentically and comfortably. I am here to not only be your hype-woman, but also to plan and build a branding session that is tailored to you and your business.

the process

We'll start with a unique process of planning and strategizing to dream up the perfect photoshoot.

I will send you a step-by-step planning guide to help you organize all the details and plan the perfect personal branding photoshoot that reflects your business, communicates your message, and lets you SHINE!

It's photoshoot day!
With every detail in place and equipped with a plan, we'll meet at our first location and let the magic happen.

The day will include different stories of YOU.  We will mix up locations, outfits, and props so that we can highlight all of the many facets of YOU, your products, and your services.

In 2 weeks, your beautiful hi-res and color-perfected digital images will be delivered in a sharable gallery.

You will also receive a Content Planning Guide to use as a roadmap on where to post and what type of images to post to make those clients fall in love with you, your brand, and your products.

You deserve to show up and be seen.  Right now, as you are.

Ashley captured the most amazing photos of my products that were perfect for my marketing!  I could praise her for hours, but the best part of the shoot was the intentionality behind it.  she really got to know me and my business before the shoot.  she made sure that every photo told the story of my business. doing a branding/product shoot with ashley is much more than a photography session - it's personalized, professional, comfortable, and even full of great marketing tips.

-Cassie Richardson

We hired Ashley as our wedding photographer back in 2010, and she has been our favorite photographer ever since. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she makes being in front of her camera so fun and easy. I had a blast at my branding shoot!  There just aren't enough positive words in the English language to sing her praises! Book her, you won't regret it!!!!

-Jen worcester

It has been 12 years since i first had the privilege of meeting Ashley! She is so full of charisma and joyful energy! She made the experience so fun and the photos were wonderful! I knew then that she would be our photographer as long as she was willing! Working with Ashley is an absolute pleasure!! She makes you feel beautiful and makes the entire experience fun! I can’t recommend her enough! If you’ve worked with her then you know what I’m saying! She has a beautiful soul that shines through and her energy is catching! Her photos speak for themselves! Absolutely stunning! You won’t find anyone better!!!
