Family Approach
We will build our shoot around the kids. I always say let them be little! If they want to run around, we'll let them. Heck, I even encourage it! These sessions should not be stressful. It's just me and your fam hanging out as you guys snuggle on each other.
And mommas I see you - for all of the late nights, sacrifices and love you give. I always end my shoot with a few shots of just you.

"From the moment I met Ashley, her love of photography inspired me to hire her, sight unseen if you will. My family met up with her several months later to have our family photo shoot, and I was impressed by her ability to capture my toddlers' attention. Receiving the final product was remarkable! Ashley's natural ability to capture the personalities of our children is truly a gift. Ashley is now my go to photographer and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photo shoot that will undoubtedly exceed expectations."

Couples Approach
We're going to make it a date night! If beer and wine are your thing - I got you! Prior to our shoot we'll meet (in-person or virtually), so that I can understand your vibe. I'll help you coordinate outfits.
We'll definitely get you the smiling at the camera photo for the newspaper (is that still a thing for engagements!?), but be prepared for your epic love to be documented up close and in motion.
Yes, I like what I see!
"To celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, we wanted to choose a photographer who would capture our authentic selves—playful and still madly in love.
Ashley became the best kind of third wheel—the photographer who effortlessly captured our personalities while making it easy and fun. At the end of our session, we hesitated to say goodbye because we wanted the magic that she created to last." - M.Z.
Let's chat Process
HOVER OVER PHOTOS FOR DETAILS
They say the magic is in the details and I swear it's true. During our shoot, I'll work to capture genuine emotion. Typically with emotion, comes big smiles (and sometimes nose wrinkles). I'm here for it! I consider myself a 'light retoucher' and keep things that are permanant.
Enhance
Being out in nature makes me feel alive, so 95% of my sessions are shot outside. There is literally nothing better than shooting outside at sunset. The best light is the right light and that may mean adjusting sleep schedules for the littles or sneaking out of your reception for a few.
Location
Moments are best captured when we're relaxed and we're relaxed when we feel comfortable around each other. Prior to our shoot I'll send a short survey, info about me and all the details you need to know for the day!
Moments
Alright, this sounds great!

"We chose Ashley because her portfolio not only looked amazing, but most importantly for us, genuine and timeless. She really captured such an authentic moment in our lives and that we couldn't be happier and excited to have these memories to keep. From the personalized playlist, to making us feel like models and the beautiful personal note, the entire experience was perfect." - L.S.
