Ashley K.

Welcome! Allow me to introduce myself.

Where do I begin? First off, hello. Welcome to my first blog. Kind of weird for me to say. Those that know me would know that this is a bit of a big thing for me to do. Opening up in any sort of way for public opinion is quite honestly scary. Especially when you are shy, awkward, and socially anxious like me. Which I should probably introduce myself. Hi, my name is Ashley K. I have been going by Ashley K online since (I am probably aging myself here) the Myspace days. You’re probably wondering why. Well, to simply put it, I just didn’t want to put my last name out there. Still don’t for privacy reasons. I’m not going to lie. Writing this blog is making me nervous as I’m sure pressing the post button will as well. But hey, we all have to get out of our comfort zones, right? Do the things that scare us. Because within that brings growth. I grew up in (what I consider to be) a small town in Pennsylvania. It's funny because I had dreams of leaving and now, I don’t want to leave. I grew to love this place. It’s home. Maybe it is one of those comfort zone things. But I don’t think so. I’m not sure what else I could write about me. I guess I could put the trivial things like: “Do I have dogs?” “What are my likes and dislikes?”. I don’t want to bore anyone with those kinds of things. Unless you want to know those things then drop those questions on my Instagram (@dawnevermorephotography) and I’ll answer them in a future blog post ha ha. For all I know, I could be boring you now with this. I hope I’m not. I’m sure in time with writing more blog posts you’ll learn more as I grow comfortable opening up my mind to complete strangers. Well, enough about myself. Let’s start talking about my photography. Why I got into photography and the name. Dawn Evermore Photography.


When I got my first digital camera (a Kodak hand-me-down from my sister), I just loved taking pictures. Didn’t take them often but loved it when I would. I later got a new camera (a Nikon Coolpix) for my birthday. Same thing. Just dabbled with taking photos more often but this time I started messing around with the editing process. I found a few free photo editors online since I couldn’t get Adobe Lightroom at the time. Just seeing what I could do with an image. It was all cool and fun to me. I loved it. I deal with depression, and it took me away from that. I got my first Canon DSLR camera a few years ago and Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and I’ve been loving the photos I have been taking and editing. I decided I wanted to share them with the world instead of keeping them to myself. So, I started what would become Dawn Evermore Photography. Coming up with a name was quite the task. I originally wanted to use my name. Taken. I wanted to use my mother’s middle name and my middle name together. You guessed it. Taken. I wanted a name that held meaning to me. Then I just went to dictionary.com and just started typing in words and seeing what would fit together but was meaningful for me. Dawn Evermore is what had come out of that. Over the past couple of years, I have been doing a bit of spiritual and law of attraction learning. And basically, what Dawn Evermore means is that every day is a new beginning. Whether it's a fresh slate from the day before (good, bad, or in-between) or deciding to turn the page and start a new chapter in your life. Each day we have the ability to better ourselves from the person we were the day before. Maybe today will be the day where you decide that it's time to chase that dream that you've always wanted. It could be a dream career, car, house, etc. Or just changing your current circumstances for the better. Something that you've always wanted but were too afraid to obtain it. There is so many more possibilities beyond the examples that I have just given. Every moment, every day, every dawn is an opportunity. It's up to us to decide when we are ready to take it. For me, it's about finally chasing something that I have wanted. On that note, welcome to Dawn Evermore Photography!


Until next time,
