Lucky for me, God allowed my path to cross with Ashley’s.
You may recognize this exquisite young lady for many reasons; Free People magazines, Tony Bowls advertisements, billboards, oh and the Miss America 2011 competition where she represented Tennessee, just to name a very few. I could go on and on and on, literally.
When I think about Ashley, those amazing achievements aren’t my ‘go to’ memories. Don’t get me wrong, she’s accomplished more in her 23 years than most will ever in a lifetime, but sweet Ashley wonderful for so many reasons. When I think about Ashley, I think about the girl who would tackle me when I’d see her at a sorority event, or the girl who would text us daily devotionals (to this day, I’m still part of her email devotionals), I think about the girl who constantly includes John and I (as in a team) to tag along on any Memphis adventure she may take part in. I think about the down to earth, sports loving, bare foot runnin’, free spirit, loyal sister of mine. I think about the sweet girl that checks in and cares enough to genuinely ask “How are you doing?” So in case you can’t tell, we are VERY fond of Ashley Durham in the Ginn family. She can do no wrong.
I’ve had the opportunity to shoot with Ashley before, and she’s always been extremely supportive and nurturing with my career. Luckily Ashley agreed to join me on another test shoot, one year later. We actually shot these last September, I know, I know. That was six months ago, but better late than never, right?
We teamed up with some of our favorite vendors, and we really REALLY love how these turned out.
