Do you believe in magic? After this year, I sure do. ✨
To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your art, your dancers, your moments, and your stories. Your continued support quite literally kept me going this year—creatively, financially, and emotionally—and I don’t take that lightly. Because of you, I get to keep building a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and sustainable.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my dreams, my business, my college journey, and my goals. I am endlessly grateful.

Goals hit in 2025:
🏡 TJ and I bought a house! A perfect, newly renovated, century-old historic home in downtown Kingsport. It took a long time to find our dream home, but we finally made it—and it was worth every bit of the wait.
🩰 I became the media provider for Epic Dance Showcase, which means I get to continue doing what I love while still having the time and flexibility I need for college.
🏫 Closed out the year with my 4.0 intact and even finished Probability & Statistics with an A+—still genuinely in shock about this one.
💅 Quit my lifelong habit of biting my nails and finally have hands I don’t hide in photos or feel ashamed of. That one feels quietly huge.
Looking ahead, 2026 is bringing so many gifts—transferring to ETSU, turning 40 with 100% smoke-free lungs, a clean and sober body, a flourishing home life, a beautiful fur baby, and the continued love and support of my family.
📸 Here are a few highlights from jobs in 2025. I still do photography, but dance has become my primary focus—and I’m so grateful for that creative shift. I am currently fully booked from February–June, but I am accepting bookings from July 2026 onward.

Just popping in to wish everyone a magical holiday season and update with my favorite set ups from this dance season and a bonus visit from Santa!! It is always an honor working for studios to create magic. It has been a tremendous year.
Personal updates:
Onward to Straight A's and Honors classes in college, buying a house, domestic bliss and the best decade of my life yet. Blessed to share it with my soul mate, TJ, and looking forward to my brother's marriage to his gorgeous fiancée in July.
A reminder I do not have any social media apps on my cell, nor do I check messages or notifications. If you want to keep in touch or update me on how YOU are doing (I would love to hear from you!) Shoot me an email or text:

{Summary-still doing photography for dance schools, and existing clients. Otherwise-it’s off to college! }
Took my final curtain at Ignite Dance Competition’s Nationals this week.After 6 seasons, I have photographed tens of thousands of dances, and celebrated with the crowd for all of them.
I have seen a range of emotion on stages, from pure joy to unimaginable sadness, injuries, malfunctions, forgotten choreography, kids running off a stage in tears, or being pumped by the crowd enough to push through and finish the routine. These moments, though abundant, stick with me. I still remember specific moments that dancers made me feel so inspired that they helped me make choices in my life. Dancers that have helped me find my own artistic voice, overcome and achieve even though I am tired, scared, sore or feeling incapable.
This final event was bittersweet, but perfect. Ignite has a great vibe with not only the staff, but the studios and dancers that compete. I heard studios hyping up each other, dancers being amazing sportsmen, and even the dance parents were ready to have a fun and positive week! Photographers-YOU WANT to work with these guys. They know how to take care of crew! It was pretty cool to be around their energy-however-I have worn out the soles in my travel boots so it’s time to move on, and this was a fantastic swan song for me.
If you are wondering about the future-I will still be working with my wonderful Dance studios and Animal shelters. I am happy to take on the random session here or there (looking at you, faithful friends and long time clients!) I will be heading back to college in the fall, beginning a long journey that I am hopeful will end with a PhD in Counseling Psychology.
I am ready to throw myself into this next chapter and excited for the road ahead!
I am not a social media user anymore. So if you would like to book with me or just say hey and good luck on College-please text or email me! I would love to hear from you! [email protected]. Dancers-keep dancing and being exemplary. You ARE the moment ❤ Love, gratitude and big honkin’ Buddha love-
Ash

Growing takes a ton of patience, especially in the dance world. Sometimes, it can get a little lonely, thinking you are the only one working on a certain skill while it seems to just come naturally to everyone else. LIES! Everyone has to work hard to develop. Embrace your struggles and let them shape you into the best dancer you can be.
