Hello!

Hey There! My name is Ashley, the mom and the photographer behind Ashley Photography!

My husband Derek and myself have 9 beautiful kiddos (yes, we turn heads quite often) who are my complete inspiration behind what I do here at Ashley Photography! Desirae, Nakia Hunter, Krin, Ryker, Londyn, Hayes, Piper and Rowen motivate me to continue to carry out my passion on a daily basis!

My first session (other than my kids) was a Senior Session nearly 15  years ago! I attended SDSU for graphic design, and I quickly realized I had a good eye for composition and good lighting and continued to work and learn my craft! I was able to leave my “job” and become a full time photographer in 2011.
I have been a member of associations such as AIGA (Design) SD Professional Photographers Association and the Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce. I served on the Board of the Dell Rapids Chamber Of Commerce in 2013/2014 and still continue to work on Shop Local Campaigns for the beautiful town of Dell Rapids!
