The Blog

WELCOME TO

365 Days

In 2009, after a couple of bachelor’s degrees were earned, a baby was born, and the job market was in the toilet, Andy and I began an adventure into the world of wedding photography. We didn’t have any experience in wedding photography, aside from snapping some weddings in passing while studying in Spain, and photographing bits of Andy’s brother’s wedding. That was it.

But what we did have was the know-how (we took classes in photography, learned to develop and print our own images in a REAL darkroom) and experience in composition, as well as customer service… so with a little nudging from family and friends, Normand Ashley Photography was born.

Sometimes I look back and can’t believe it even happened. But here we are.

This post is really about the last 365 , oops, 367 days. Because 367 Days ago, I officially moved from the old website to this one, and set off on an adventure to be my own boss. No longer working for anyone else. I left my secure position working as a Special Education Teacher, and with my head held high, went for it.

My dreams.

And guess what.

I caught them.

  2. Congratulations! So happy you dreams are coming to fruition! I’m sure hardwork was a big factor!
