When we focus on capturing the most tender parts of our hearts, we can create something so pure. My approach to being a visual storyteller is to document the love, connection, and joy of a family in their favorite place, a woman finding herself again, or a mother carrying her beloved child. All of these stories, these narratives have a very special place in my heart and I know all of them very well. Which is also why I know how to approach each and every session with kindness, patience, and warmth. If we are to create art together, it takes trust and collaboration in order to get your story just right. From beginning to the end you will feel like you've been a part of every step in telling your story in the most true and authentic way all the while knowing that you are being taken care of in every way possible. Every image will be an honest and beautiful depiction of just how magical you truly are.

If you booked me for a family session I'll have you fill out a questionnaire upon booking as stated above so I can get to know a little more about you and your family! If you are coming to me for The Art of Healing, branding, or motherhood session we will set up a phone consultation so we can talk in more detail the vision you had and how we can create something specific to you! This time also includes leading up to your session where I help with wardrobe and choosing the best location that fits you!

I am not only here to capture you and/or your family, but to ensure you feel comfortable, seen and guided through our time together. When it comes to my portrait work I do guided posing, a lot of times I will act out the movement or pose so that you know exactly how it will look. The more you feel your body and the way it moves throughout the session, the more in tune with yourself you become. My family sessions are a lot less hands on and a lot more giving prompts instead of poses. The prompts create fun, less stuffy, more playful connections. The prompts not only encourage connection and moments of laughter, but it allows me to observe and capture each moment as it naturally unfolds. In doing so, I capture the real, raw in between moments that are full of goodness and light!

"I have been lucky enough to have 2 of my pregnancies and many family photos captured by Ashley. Every time that email pops up that our photos are available to view I am blown away by what I see. Beyond the beautiful photos, are the phone calls/texts/FaceTimes to see our reactions to her hard work. She pours every ounce of herself into her work and created images of moments in my life I might not ever get back, but I get to reflect on forever and I can't thank her enough for that."
"In my 37 years on this earth and countless photography sessions, I have never felt so comfortable, so beautiful, and so happy then I have working with Ashley. What she does is pure magic. I only wish I found her sooner! She is the absolute best. Thank you!"
"I have been using Ashley as my photographer for many years now. Her passion for her work is unmatched. She always makes you feel comfortable in any setting and always shows patience in those crazy family sessions! She has done a variety of pictures for me (maternity, baby, family, etc.) and always have been so happy with my photo memories! Ashley is the best!"
"Ashley! I just have to tell you how incredible you are! Your personality, your quality, communication, and the experience you create is unmatched and I just wanted to say thank you for setting the bar high!"
"Ashley has the warmest and kindest soul of anyone I know. She's done our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot for me, maternity photos, family photos, you name it! She has been able to watch our love grow into a family and we will always go to her for our photos."
"WOOOW!!! I am so blown away!!! I seriously needed this shoot in my life. It feels so good to get beautiful and have someone empower you and capture powerful photos. I appreciate you so very much!”
"You captured my story in a way words cannot express. Thank you for walking with me and being a crucial part of my healing."
"Ashley!!! The way you capture us sends me over the moon every time. Obsessed is an understatement. Beyond grateful for you and our bond!"
