about your presenter
Love and laughter are the primary subject for Vancouver Island-based photographer Ashley Marston. An award-winning and published Birth, Lifestyle & Documentary photographer/filmmaker (and busy mother of three), Marston strives for images that capture those two staples of family relationships, as well as the quiet moments that might otherwise go unseen. Marston photographs her own family daily through her year-long A Daily Occurrence project.
There are courses where you learn a lot and then there are courses where you learn a lot AND are impacted! Ashley’s course was inspiring, fresh, meaningful and teaches the art and heart of photography. I’m blown away by her personal work and she shares so much of her knowledge and her teaching style is so easy to stay engaged with. I also love that this course addressed so many topics I always wondered about…such as taking my camera places it’s odd to have a camera at, like the store. Or how to work with your kids in a manner that makes them more excited about the camera being out and on them often. She even talks about her own journey with her 365 projects, which was so helpful so that I know it’s a starting place for my first year and everything doesn’t have to be perfect to do it. She was engaged and responsive with us as participants and very encouraging. I’m so excited for my 365 journey this year and the spark it lit for my love of capturing everyday moments.
This is just what I needed. I am already in the second day of a 365 Project and I’m loving it! I struggled for several months to pick up my camera and finally, like Gods sent, this breakout came out.
So so good!
Thanks Ashley!
Fell in love with this Breakout and I knew damn well I would! What an absolute pleasure to gain insight into one of my favourite photographers. Ashley holds absolutely nothing a back and boy does she deliver on so many things. I have without a shadow of a doubt enjoyed every second of this Breakout and I’ve been totally inspired to start my own project. Your photographic eye and your warm and witty personality is infectious Ashley. Love, love, loved this, thank you!
I loved loved loved this breakout. the pdf and all the videos are inspiring. I am inspired to do a 365 and try some new out of the box ways for my photos. I love the mix of documentary and life style photos she shares . I hope to try new things in this new year and keep on learning. This breakout has been just the jump start i needed. Ashley you are a great teacher and share your creativity.
This breakout is worth the investment ten times over. The richness of color, tone, and respect she shows for those she documents provides the viewer with an awareness of life unfolding in the most beautiful of ways. Stunning.
After following Ashley for years, I was so excited to buy her breakout. In sum, Ashley has delivered more than I could’ve hoped for! I have loved seeing her inspiring work over the years and she has always promptly responded to any question I’ve had on Instagram. She is a very generous and highly talented soul, and I love following and learning from her. I am so glad I purchased this breakout. Ashley did not disappoint!
Sorry it took so long to comment! I still haven’t finished ALLLL the jam-packed material with the holiday guests and bustle, but most are done.
I just finished your breakout and I’m unbelievably grateful. I’m in a weird place and it breathed new life into me. I kind of got stuck only seeing certain work because of social media and it really weighed me down. Coming across you really has been a gift. I am choosing to shoot weekly this year and pick images I love so that it’s not overwhelming and for the first time in a long time I want to pick up my camera to document my own life. Thank you so so much. ❤️❤️❤️
What an inspiring breakout! Ashley is so talented and yet also down to earth and approachable. She has really inspired me to “feel the fear and do it anyway!” And I love all the practical tips to boost creativity! Looking forward to my 365 project next year!
“Motivated and Inspired”….This is exactly how you feel after finishing Ashley’s breakout! It’s jammed packed with amazing tips for engaging with your kiddos everyday in photography and how to push yourself creatively! Ashley truly pours her heart and soul into her images and this breakout captures the very essence of why she’s such an amazing artist! I’m absolutely blown away by the dedication she has towards her 365 projects and the message she shares about completely them! I really enjoyed taking this breakout and I can’t wait to apply everything I’ve learned!
I’ve never been so inspired to grab my camera and get creative!! I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer for the past four years and it’s easy to start seeing your gear as just gear and only pulling it out when you need to work. After seeing the preview for this class I knew this was the one for me and sure enough, Ashley hit the nail on the head. There is such a deep honestly about how Ashely convey’s what she does and how she goes about doing it that you’re reminding why you were doing this all in the first place. For the love of it, and it’s okay to REALLY love what you do and have fun with it and be creative and know it’s not always going to be perfect. But it’s that love that radiates through your photos, even the not so perfect ones. I owe Ashely a huge thank you. I’ve been in a creative funk for an embarrassingly long time now and I can really see, the last 9 images I’ve taken since the class are so drastically different than what I’d been shooting, and yet so back to the roots of how I used to love to shoot. Thank you Ashely!! I can only hope there will be another class from you soon!
I am so glad I didn’t miss out on the Breakout!! So many great ideas to keep one excited about picking up the camera. I have always wanted to do a 365 project but just felt so overwhelmed by the commitment. After going through the materials I’m ready and excited to take on the challenge. Thank you Ashley for sharing.
I’m a beginner and was a little worried this would be too advanced for me but after reading the PDF and watching the videos, I can safely say it is beginner friendly as well. I’ve been doing the 30 Days of Holiday Share and was struggling to come up with ideas for what to shoot since I don’t have children and this breakout has helped me come up with ideas. I’ve also always been more drawn to bright and airy shots but I really love Ashley’s moody shots and have started trying some of those as well. Her editing in the videos has really opened my eyes as what edits could be done with just Lightroom instead of having to go into Photoshop. Thank you Ashley!
This breakout has been such a game changer for me! I have been following Ashley for about a year now and she has really inspired my creativity and made me want to start my own 365 project!
This is just the course I needed before starting a 365 in January! Ashley’s breakout is inspiring and chock full of great advice. I feel excited to pull out my camera again and capture our everyday moments. This course has also made me realize how important it is for me to get in the frame this year too.
This breakout is absolutely amazing!! I saw it and just knew I needed to take it. It has helped get out of my photography rut! I can’t wait to start my new 365 this January
I am loving the breakout!! Still working through all the materials but it is motivating me so much to start my personal project at the beginning of the year! I can feel think breakout will totally help push my photography to the next level!
Loved this breakout! Definitely inspiring and very detailed so I can take what I’ve learned and apply it to my everyday work! Love Ashley’s Behind the Scenes and editing videos! They were extremely helpful.
After following Ashley for a while on IG and marvelling at every photo she posted, getting this breakout was a no-brainer!!
While i am more in to documentary and less it to lifestyle, you can’t be a photographer and NOT learn something from this inspiration-packed breakout.
She definitely got me out of a creative rut halfway in to my 365 project.
When I first started learning about photography, I read that the best thing you could do for yourself was to complete a 365 project. As it turns out, it’s a very challenging project! I was hoping this breakout would somehow help me with follow through. Obviously, 365 days haven’t passed yet, but Ashley’s approach definitely helps to see things from new angles, think outside the box and push the creative boundaries.
One of my favorite parts of breakouts is to get in the head (a little!) of my favorite photographers. So when I saw Ashley’s, I jumped immediately! And I am so glad I did! Ashley is so engaging and helpful. She is so giving with her creative process and supportive of those of us just starting out. I am a super visual learner and there are EIGHT videos!!! Do you want to watch her shoot? Done. Edit? Yes. Assemble and use her creative equipment? Bonus videos! Breakouts are such a fun and affordable way to learn some new tools for your toolbox. Go on! Get started!
The moment I saw Ashley’s promo video for her “A Daily Occurrence” breakout, I had to have it. I love how she pours her heart and soul into her family, photography and creativity. She takes the everyday ordinary and makes it beautiful, creative and unique to her. I recently finished my first 365 project and was looking for more inspiration to continue another 365. This breakout couldn’t have come at a better time! Whether, you have been considering doing a 365 project or have been doing one for years, this breakiout is a must have!
I have just started this breakout so I’m a little late on the live run, but I’m already so excited and inspired to read how Ashley used each year of her 365 to improve on certain elements within her photography to really focus and learn the skills she needed. As someone who still has so much to learn and can often feel both overwhelmed whilst catching Comparison-itus a little TOO easily looking at so much amazing work out in the world, it’s really helpful to read someones honest account of how they approached their photography and were able to improve on their own skill in their own way get to where they are now. Can’t wait to get stuck into the rest and get cracking on my next 365 thanks Ashley!
I’m so so glad I found this breakout. It came at the perfect time. I’m half way through my 365 and feel a bit burnt out. I find it hard to get motivated and inspired, and I was worried that picking up the camera daily might become a chore. Not anymore! This breakout is so inspiring and really speaks to me. Ashley is so authentic and real, reading through the pdf is like listening to a pep talk from a good friend. I can’t wait to watch all the shooting and editing videos. It has also given me that push to finally start the p52 self portrait project, I’ve been mulling over for way too long. Thanks so much, Ashley!
This has been a great class. After doing this course I now feel inspired to attempt my first 365 Project. I loved Ashley’s down to earth, practical manner… the videos were so informative, and to be able to see how she photographs and edits, and her thought processes while doing so is so encouraging. Like others, I feel that my creativity has been ignited, thank you Ashley!
I absolutely love the content and love to learn your techniques and make then my own! So happy and thankful you did this :)
Ashley has completely inspired me to try my own 365 project! I loved reading/listening to every word. So much wisdom in this breakout! Do yourself a favour and buy the damn thing!
I LOVED this breakout. Can’t get enough of the realness (wiping Sophie’s boogie!). Practical and inspiring. Well organized and detailed. It’s been fun learning all of the tips and tricks and I’m super inspired. The biggest take away for me has been to relax and let the kids have fun. I’m usually super stressed trying to capture the idea I have in my head but the reality is the kids won’t have good memories that way. It’s been a huge lesson for me. We’re already having so much more fun. Just wanted to say thanks.
This breakout is one of my most favorites everrrrr! It is so good and so inspiring! Ashley is full of creative inspiration and tips that I know will inspire me next year as I embark on a 365. She made me super excited to get back to shooting, when I haven’t picked up my camera for myself in a couple of months! I love it so much and I know everyone would benefit from this!
Ashley’s work drew me into this breakout! Her creative spin on everyday moments is exactly what I’ve been wanting to achieve. Her breakout is a great reminder that the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can try to show the beauty of your own everyday. She has lots of ideas of how to keep it fun for both you as the photographer and for your subject(s) as well. This is a great introduction to new photographers into creative shooting as well as for experienced photographers who might be stuck in a rut looking to step outside the box a bit.
I started my 365 project, 3 months ago and I have to say this breakout is timely for me!
It took me 2 days to read and watch all the material and in my case, it’s a record!
It’s so interesting and inspiring to see all the steps dehind your photographs, Ashley!
As a childless photographer, I was afraid to feel not in the game but, not at all! All these tricks can be applied to a lots of situations!
I think it can be a game changer for me! Thank you!
Whether you’re considering a 365 project, you’re in the middle of one, or if you’re just stuck in a creative rut, this breakout will give you tools and inspiration to capture your everyday. Ashley is clearly passionate about daily shooting, and the ebook and videos are packed with ideas that will help you feel motivated and excited to pick up your camera every day, even when you don’t always feel like it. She is open and honest and she explains her thought process so clearly. This breakout is definitely one I will be referring to as I continue my next 365!
Just wanted to say how much I loved reading the PDF and watching the videos. What an incredible Breakout! Ashley is so inspiring and gave me a push to go and get my camera out tonight and shoot. I have been stuck in such a photography rut and to be honest I’ve been having a hard time getting out of it. This breakout is exactly what I needed. Thank you Ashley!
Thanks for pouring your heart and soul into this course!
I have never been so motivated to photograph our everyday. Her images of her children are absolutely jaw dropping and I loved getting to watch her shooting videos to see how she makes her magic!
If you need some extra motivation and inspiration to get your camera out when you’re not working, I highly recommend this breakout!
I just decided to do a 365 project next year and was feeling a little uninspired, so signed up to Ashley’s class. It was brilliant to see behind the scenes and watch her create her amazing images, with easy-to-follow explanations of how she does it- I have learned a lot! Thank you!
Sit back, grab some tea and relax as you soak up all the inspiration Ashley provides as you are taken on a journey through her creative mind which reignites your desire to capture your daily life again! As a special needs mom this breakout showed me how I can embrace the chaos and document in ways I didn’t think of before and I am excited to pick my camera up again. Thank you Ashley for the needed push!
This breakout woke me up out of a fog in such a beautiful way. I’m grateful to Ashley’s vision for her photography and the reminder that art is all around us all the time! We just need the eyes to see it and the camera to make it come to life. I loved watching her shooting and editing process. I’ve learned so much, but my biggest takeaway is to dream big with what can happen on the daily!
I was so excited when I saw that Ashley was releasing a course! I have followed her work for a long time on IG, and her 365 project has always been so inspiring and the raw candid images she captures are stunning. To see behind the scenes and how to go about setting up and shooting is so appreciated as someone just starting a photography business, Ashley very clearly explains her shots of why she is doing what she is doing to get the shot. There is so much content included in this breakout that it can be hard not to pause a segment to go pick up your camera to to get creative and you leave each segment with a fiery passion to start (or continue) a 365!
Such an amazing course, I am only part way through but there is so much amazing and helpful information! This genuinely had me excited to take photos and sparked my creativity again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to build their photography skills as well as reigniting your passion for photography!
I saw the add for this breakout course on Instagram and I immediately signed up. I am so excited for all the content Ashley shares and for the priceless inspiration!! I can’t wait to see what images I can capture during the long winter months in Washington state.
I had been struggling with a lack of creativity when I stumbled upon this course and the timing couldn’t have been better! Let me tell you, it was the best and easiest $25 I’ve ever spent! I would pay hundreds for the content in the course and the motivation and burst of creativity it has given me! I highly recommend it!
What can I say other than this breakout is the most perfect most inspiring most helpful class I’ve taken this year. I’ve wanted to do a 365 for ages and Ashley makes it doable – from her easy, relaxed manner to the amazing tips to her encouragement and support. I’ve actually already started and I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings. Thank you Ashley from the bottom of my heart.
I have been inspired by Ashley’s work for quite some time. Her work brings out so many emotions and this breakout. Wow! It is exactly what I needed to get my creative juices flowing! I love that I can take all of the knowledge Ashley has shared and carry it into every session also.
Ashley, thank you so much for sharing not only your knowledge and passion with us but also this journey with your beautiful children with all of us!
This is a fantastic breakout! Ashley is so authentic and genuine. I’ve learned more than I expected, and was immediately inspired to start trying new things with my photography. I’ve taken a number of breakouts, but I don’t think any one has inspired and motivated me quite like A Daily Occurrence has.
What a great course! I read the entire course in one night and can not get enough of the videos! It has really inspired me to have fun with my kids while capturing them and our memories. It has given me such great ideas and sparked my creativity to push myself as an artist and photographer and may have inadvertently started my 365 project a bit earlier than I was planning.
I have purchased a few breakouts and they’ve all been good in their own way. But this one was special. I knew that I wanted to learn from Ashley the moment I saw that she was releasing a breakout. I think it’s because I respond to her images so much and I just wanted to see what was happening behind the scenes. Even so, I didn’t expect to feel so inspired by this breakout. I had a whole slew of “Ah-ha” moments throughout the course and I was really motivated to pick up my camera and try some creative techniques that I’d done before but that I’d put away for a long while (ie prisms ahem). Obviously, the amazing landscape that surrounds Ashley makes an appearance in quite a number of her images, but there were plenty of pullbacks that had me thinking “hey–I could do that even without living in that GORGEOUS place she lives in…I just need a bush!). It was inspiring. I was really transformed by the approach she takes with her kids to participate in her journey and in her projects and that she makes them a part of it. I am superbly excited to start a 365 project this year and to put more intention into it than I have in former years. I just can’t say enough about this course.
This is such a great course. I found all of the content to be really useful and just what I needed to feel like a 365 project is doable.
This breakout is incredible! A few pages in to the PDF and I was hooked! The videos are also super inspiring and detailed and so well made. I guarantee you will feel more inspired to shoot your daily life after this breakout! Worth every penny!
I am almost finished my 4th 365 project and I was seriously starting to loose steam. Ashley’s class was so inspiring and gave me that extra push I needed to get motivated for another year of daily shooting. Such a great deal for $25!
So inspiring! Well organized and just the creative push I need to dive in and try new things so I can grow as an artist. I can’t wait to hold a book at the end of the year with all the memories we create! If you’re considering this breakout don’t wait just do it! You will love it and leave with so many creative inspirations!
I am SO grateful for this breakout! Just reading through Ashley’s pdf, you can hear her heart and passion and it makes me super motivated to keep growing and persevering! Through this breakout I have grown creatively already and found the courage to break out of my comfort zone because Ashley shared how she let go of fear and jumped into new areas of photography which made her grow. I’m following her example! You will not regret taking this breakout!
Hi, Nice to meet all women that need you !!!! We are moms loving photography but looking for inspiration! Your work is amazing and encourage me to get into a real project…My kids are not kids anymore (21 and 16) so I hope not to get pregnant to improve my artistic side…ha ha !!!
I started my 365 at the beginning of the year and with life being crazy even though I have loved the project I wasn’t sure if I would start a new one come 2020. I’ve only just started to dive into the material and already I’m inspired to continue one. Ashley is a lovely person and photographer. You can tell she has poured her heart and soul into this project. I’m feeling inspired and I can’t wait to put what I’m learning into practice.
I was lucky to be able to take Ashley’s class at clickaway. This breakout goes way beyond what she covered at clickaway. I am finishing my second 365 and this breakout was just what I needed to stay inspired and keep going. I love all the creative techniques that she included.
So much inspiration, so many ideas, so many tips to make daily shooting a reality!! All of the content from the ebook to the videos is amazingly well-produced. I love how she narrates her videos so that we know what she is thinking and that she also shares the final images in the shooting videos so we can see how her vision turned out. Another plus is that Ashley has been so active in the forum–I can hardly wait for the Q&A video!!
This Breakout Session is amazing! Filled with tips, tools, inspiration and heart!! It gave me so much motivation and a creative spark to finish the year. Can’t wait for the next one!!
Ashley, I have been following you all year, just by watching your work you have inspired me in so many different aspects in my life. I started a 365 project half way threw the year thanks to you! When I saw this breakout it was not even a second thought. I’m so very grateful for this and for you to share your ways! I’m even more inspired now than I was before I’m so excited to create memories and a visual diary as you call it for my family and little boys. Your values are very similar to mine so reading your book was like reading a page from my own. Thankyou thankyou!! Your amazing <3
Ashley, just wanted to send you a quick note. I recently started following you on Instagram and Facebook after seeing your breakout advertised. I purchased today and quickly read through the pdf and watched your in-home shooting video. YOU are an inspiration! My kiddos are 17, 12 and 3. It is refreshing to see the authenticity in your work! I look forward to finishing the course and following your work. Thank you for sharing your time & talent to develop this unique course!
Love love LOVED this breakout. I needed the extra push to jump start my 365 and I love the way Ashley keeps her pictures in a book. Her children will value these forever, and that was just about convicting enough for me to jump on board. She’s shows how easy it can be for you to get in pictures with your kids. She also shares ways to keep it interesting with using drone and underwater photography. Truly loved this breakout.
Ashley leads an incredible course. She is honest, real and inspiring. I started a daily photo project of my kids 2 years ago thanks to her and cannot thank her enough for that inspiration to start. These photo are everything to me. I can already see improvement in my images since completing the course!
Haven’t even really touched the surface of this and already shooting with new eyes. I’m a “mostly daily occurrence” working towards a 365. This may be the kick In the creative pants to get me there!
I’ve slowly been pulling out my iPhone again and this breakout gave me ways to push myself with the big camera!!! Also I shoot underexposed too and I love watching someone edit the way I shoot! 365 here I come next year.
POWERFUL. I didn’t even get halfway through this before it lit such a fire under me that I HAD to go grab my camera. That’s a pretty incredible feeling.
This breakout is so inspiring! Ashley gives multiple ways to keep inspired throughout the year. Her shooting videos are AMAZING as she really lets you inside her head. I feel challenged to get back into the routine of shooting daily, taking creative shots, preserving memories for my family, and getting in the frame myself. Ashley shares how rewarding it is to look back on a year of photos, and that alone is enough to encourage me in my 365 project.
I can truthfully say this had me excited to take out my camera today to shoot our moments, and it’s been awhile since I could say that. I can’t wait to use the tools she gave me and to apply them to my own work.
I’m not sure there is anyone that does a 365 more creatively than Ashley, and it seems she doesn’t ever post a mediocre image. Her breakout inspired me to yet again view my every day differently, to put myself out there to try new things, and her behind the scenes videos with tips and tricks were so helpful to see how she approaches how she shoots. She takes you through everything with her stunning e-book, her daily shooting, how she shoots underwater, uses her drone, shoots creatively, and with multiple editing videos she pulls it all together for you.
It was a treat to go through what she put together for us, and you don’t want to miss out, especially if you plan on starting a 365 this January
I consider myself a seasoned photographer but I already feel my work is improving after taking this class.
I am LOVING all of the content and the videos presented in this Breakout. Ashley is raw, candid and real. It is sparking my creativity and is exactly what I will look back on again halfway through next year when I need some motivation to keep up with my 365 project.
