My Name is Ashley. I am a horror writer, photographer, and artist. Most of my artwork and photography is focused on Glamor, Model, and Pin-Up style. I've tried to fashion my drawings into my own style of black and white pin-up and pose my models classical and relaxed. I've started taking my photography very seriously and have one book published available in paperback and on Kindle. I live in the Chicago area and I am always looking for new models. I like working with new models as I am pretty new to the field, but I am working with some established ones as well. My goal is to keep building up my portfolio. I have done some Family Photography on the side to get my business moving forward and to help pay for my equipment.
