A Magical Unicorn Day- A Magical Person

I met Ashley around 2018. I was looking to team up with someone to do magical unicorn sessions. I have worked with other handlers in the past, but something with Ashley just blew me away. It was her down-to-earth bedside manner. SHE REALLY CARED about her animals and the little clients. We’ve been inseparable since. We’ve done everything from farm sessions with baby chicks, to unicorn sessions at the beach, wildflower fields and also many sessions in the forest.

Not only was she a wonderful handler, she was an incredible friend. Her new movie that was coming out, Sparkle, was her pride and joy. I am so glad she got to see it. (even her daughter got a cameo in the movie), but I am also saddened because this was going to be her time and year. To celebrate Drifter and to really go full throttle with the unicorn parties and aspect of her business. These unicorn parties were essentially the bread and butter to the farm. They helped to fund food, vet bills and to take on more rescues. Her goal was to go non-profit and become a bonafide rescue. I’m saddened she was taken way to soon.

At 36 years of age, she was just beginning and she was starting to take off like a rocket. I never met someone so dedicated to her animals and rescues. Ashley lived her life with great passion. She cared for her family and friends with a warm and loving heart. She was a ride or die friend to anyone who graced her presence. She was special. Not many people you can say that about, but she was.

On November 12th, we will have {hopefully, not our last) unicorn sessions with the movie star, Sparkle aka Drifter and as an ode to her and to continually support her business.

Ashley in action. Always a spotter and a handler (Miss J) at all our sessions. We edit them out. We braved the cold and all kinds of conditions throughout the years. It was a 38 degree day, last January 2023 show here.

I want to thank everyone for the condolences and well-wishes. Her Go-Fund me can be found above and all proceeds will go to the family.

The heart and soul of the session, of course, is the magical unicorn. This magnificent being has been carefully selected for its gentle nature and regal demeanor, making the interaction both safe and awe-inspiring. The connection between human and unicorn is one of the most captivating aspects of the shoot, as each person gets to experience a unique moment of bonding and wonder.

The collaboration with Lionsgate's "Sparkle: A Unicorn Tale" has brought an extra sprinkle of stardust to these magical sessions. The opportunity to be photographed alongside the very creature that will grace the silver screen is a chance few could resist.
