We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ashlyn Miller. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ashlyn below.
Ashlyn, appreciate you joining us today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard.
AshMill Photo is not your typical photography business. What sets us apart from the rest is our unwavering commitment to affordable pricing without compromising on quality. Our journey began with a simple desire – to capture the beautiful moments of life, especially the fleeting ones that come with the growth of our own families. As a mom and a military spouse living far from extended family, I understood the significance of family photos in bridging the gap created by distance. I wanted to cherish every season of my son’s life, and like many, I couldn’t justify spending exorbitant amounts of money every few months for professional photos. This personal journey led to the creation of AshMill Photo, where we believe that preserving these precious moments should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget.
Family pictures hold a unique place in the hearts of parents, particularly those who live far from their loved ones due to military service or other circumstances. They become more than just snapshots; they become lifelines, connecting us to our roots, our stories, and the people who matter most. As a military spouse, I understand the challenges of being away from family, and I know the profound comfort that family photographs can bring. At AshMill Photo, we strive to capture the love, laughter, and bonds that make families strong. Our goal is to make quality photography affordable so that every family can create their own visual diary of love, growth, and togetherness throughout the year. With AshMill Photo, you don’t just get pictures; you get a timeless reminder of the importance of family in your life’s journey.
Ashlyn, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My photography style is all about enhancing moments rather than altering them with unrealistic editing. I believe that the true beauty of a photograph lies in capturing the authenticity of the moment. I aim to keep my editing subtle and unobtrusive, ensuring that it never distracts from the real stars of the show – the people in the photo. My approach is centered on making my clients feel at ease and creating a comfortable environment during our sessions. I believe that genuine, candid moments arise when people feel relaxed and themselves. So, I love engaging in conversations and building a rapport with my clients throughout the session, encouraging them to be their authentic selves in front of the camera. It’s in those unguarded moments that the magic truly happens, and I’m here to preserve those beautiful, real memories for you to cherish.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I expanded my Facebook following by inviting others to like my page and garnered numerous positive reviews from clients. These reviews have been huge in growing my photography business, boosting both credibility and new client interest.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
The most powerful source of new clients for me has undeniably been the positive word of mouth from my past clients. Their recommendations have consistently brought in new business and reinforced the trust in my photography services.
