For Arlington entrepreneur Ashley Leopard, having kids of her own was the catalyst for starting her own business three years ago.
Now her Camryn & Craig children’s boutique will expand to its own brick-and-mortar location Nov. 8 at The Falls commercial center at 5291 Airline Road in Arlington.
Leopard created the business in 2021 as an online-only boutique. She first thought of the concept in late 2019 after her first daughter Avery Camryn was born. At the time, Leopard was working as a project manager at Brother International in Bartlett. In 2021, she had her son Joshua Craig.

“After he was born, my husband and I agreed it was time for me to take the leap and go ahead with it. So I left my corporate job,” she said.
