Family
These moments won't last forever - in fact, they'll be gone before you can even blink. The tiny toes, the endless snuggles, even the constant crying will all be over.
They'll be all grown up, and you'll wake up one day and realize you're no longer needed in the same way that you were when their first cry echoed into that hospital room.
There's nothing more important than preserving these memories and memorializing this time in your family's life - because it isn't going to last forever.
Invest in capturing the moments that matter the most.
It's my greatest passion to be able to capture images for families of their most pivotal memories & moments. Shooting weddings made me quickly realize the importance of documenting every memory you can. I'm all about making you feel like a rockstar in front of the camera, so don't worry about not being "photogenic" (I don't believe in that word!) I'll tell you what to do and guide you through the photo-taking process with fun posing games and lots and lots of snuggles. It's my commitment to capture images that will make you tear up every time you look back at them. Because taking great photographs isn't just about how you look - it's about how they make you FEEL.
ABOUT Ashley
Maternity sessions can take place in-studio or at one of my many favorite outdoor locations. Here are some tips in advance... Best timing for maternity sessions is between 28 & 34 weeks, depending on how fast your bump grows. I recommend the earlier the better, since waiting too late can mean heavier swelling & exhaustion. We want you looking and feeling your best! I'll help you pick the perfect outfits, & I always recommend professional hair & makeup if you can swing it. Plan to bring the whole family to your session so we can get solo shots as well as some couple portraits & family photos!

I specialize in lifestyle newborn sessions, which take place in your home or our studio & portray the real moments of life with your new little one. Here are some tips in advance... keep baby up the morning of your session so they hopefully are sleepy & not fussy for the session. Plan to feed right before I arrive so they're full & relaxed. While I will take some photos of baby alone, this is not a traditional posed newborn session with elaborate props & heavy posing - my goal is to capture the genuine & authentic moments and movements of your baby as naturally as possible. From couch snuggles to breastfeeding, the moments we capture will be tender, natural, intimate, & reminiscent of these first few weeks with your newest family member.

Family sessions can take place in your home, in our studio, or outdoors - we'll work together to find the perfect setting to capture your family in their most natural element. Here are some tips in advance... When selecting outfits, find a color palette to stick to & coordinate, don't match! Neutrals & lighter colors go a long way in making beautiful, versatile photos to hang in your home. Make sure everyone is well rested, well fed, and bring any positive rewards for little ones to aid in the photo-taking process. Family photos can feel super stressful - just try to relax and let me take the reins!

"I am a photographer, so working with other photographers is hard sometimes. Not with Ashley. She went completely out of her way to make my newborn photos an absolute dream come true. she did everything in her power to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. She came completely prepared and we were shocked watching her bring everything in the house like she was moving in with us for a month! she has so much education on newborns to be as safe as possible with your little one-- that alone made me feel so comfortable. Thank you again Ashley from the bottom of our hearts!"
"Having someone hold onto your little secret before you even announce is the most precious thing- she turned our little secret into something so beautiful. She was along for the ride for everything after, and the pictures are definitely something that we'll look back on for the rest of our lives. Having not only a photographer but a friend makes it so much more beautiful."

"When it came time to our gender reveal there was no question about who we wanted to capture our sweet moment. Ashley went above and beyond all of our expectations (even walking around in the freezing snow for an hour). The best part is when it came down to us finding out we were having a boy, She was right there celebrating with us. These photos will always be some of my favorites and I’m so thankful Ashley was able to take them for us!"

ASHLEY IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. She is so sweet and radiant! She is so easy to work with and She is amazing with capturing moments you didn’t even realize were happening. When she took pictures of me and my daughter, Ashley was able to get her to smile like crazy and was able to really capture who we are as a family.

"Ashley has incredible talent and the best personality! She captured our family in natural ways and created the most memorable moments for us during the photo shoot. We love our pictures and many of them will be on display in our home forever."
