Hello, there!
I'm Ash. Well, Ashley Savage...but since we're friends, you can call me Ash!
Ashley Savage Photography has been years in the making. But anything that is worth doing, is worth doing right, right?
I've had my camera for 3 years now. In fact, here is the pic announcing to the Instagram world that it happened:
Ahhhh, I was so excited! I saved my personal allowance for months waiting to buy it, and then I did! After opening it...I realized I had no idea how to use it. There were sooooo many buttons, you guys. And none of them made my pictures amazing.
Luckily my amazingly talented friend Becky over at BPhotogenic decided to teach a beginning photography class the following Spring. She covered the basics like light, ISO, aperture, white balance, composition, focus, lenses, etc. over the course of 6 weeks. Â
Was it worth it?
Absolutely! In fact, I took one of my best photographs during that class, and it earned a Blue Ribbon in the next Boulder County Fair. Yeehaw!
I was so excited to finally be able to use my camera! That class with Becky was the perfect preparation for my next adventure: 3 weeks on a Mediterranean tour. I was determined to take amazing pictures, and for a newbie, I was very happy with my work. Walking around Europe for 21 days with a camera perpetually strapped to your neck is a great way to learn, learn, learn.
Fast forward: Â two more years of practice, continuing education, online classes, and a college course. Â I've been building my portfolio with free family and senior sessions, sessions with friends and family, and putting my editing skills to the test. Â I'm excited to take this leap into the world of Professional Photographer, and I hope you'll join me for my journey by following along here at my blog, by following on Facebook, or following on Instagram!
