Professor Ashlee

Ok, I'm not a Professor, but I did give a lecture at BYU yesterday. I was asked by the teacher of a BYU Women's Entreprenurial (did I spell that right?) Class to come give a lecture on running my photography business. She found me through one of my recent advertisments. I was asked to discuss how I got started, how I run a business and continue to be a stay-at-home mom, and what advice I would give to someone who wanted to own their own business.

I was surprised that I was asked to do this...I personally think of my business as a hobby and was excited that someone outside of my house would find this venture successful enough to talk about. Anyways, my lecture lasted 50 minutes and I think it went well...I base that judgement purely on the fact that nobody was asleep during it! I was also excited to find out that previous speakers in this class included the owners of the Shade Shirt company...wow, I don't even WANT to be that successful!

Anyways, just one more interesting thing I did this week...I am looking forward to a totally mundane and predictable time with my kids next week. If you haven't been to my website, the address is
