Ashley Manley and I kind of go way back – we crossed paths right around the time I opened Fearless and Framed. We had similar journeys getting started in our client businesses and both had a spark to document life for clients.
She’s written for us at F&F a few times – my favorite is an older piece, called Document the People Around Us, Not Just the Kids. It’s about honoring the OTHER relationships in your life, like friendships, for example. I don’t know about you, but it feels like this epidemic of only photographing + sharing our kid work, when we have other important people in our lives too!
In this convo, we cover:
- Signals that prompted change in Ashley’s photography journey
- Ashley’s decision to pause her client business
- What cultivating a relationship between Ashley + her photography looks like
- Jumping into shooting + developing film
- Making pictures + having pictures: what Ashley gets out of both
Enjoy the story.
