Hello there! I’m Ashley.
A lot of women have poor self esteem due to our society literally telling them every single day that they aren’t enough. Marketing campaigns for many body enhancement surgeries, shape wear, beauty products, and clothing items are aimed directly at women, and they all have one message: you are not enough. You’re not thin enough, busty enough, pretty enough, or happy enough. Women are literally bombarded every day with these messages attacking their self worth. These big companies fight dirty with their marketing campaigns and hit women where it hurts-their self esteem.
These feelings of lowered self esteem are often amplified during pregnancy and the caregiving years that follow. Our modern world is all about “bouncing back” and having a perfect postpartum body.
I don’t ever want a woman to feel these negative emotions in my studio.
You ARE enough, just as you are.
You ARE incredible. Stretch marks and all. Every inch of extra body fat and every laugh line is BEAUTIFUL.
We will take you just as you are and love the heck out of you at the studio, I promise. Hyping women up and having them walk out of the studio feeling worthy and beautiful is everything to me.
One woman at a time, we are going to change the world.
Let’s Get Together
yeah , yeah, yeah
Some things you may want to know about me….
01. I’m a crazy mom.
My son, Henry, is the light of my whole world and I can’t imagine going through this life without him. He is my “why.” I want to be a mother who shows him just how important it is to not give up on what you want in life.
02. Secretly a Disney princess.
I am a complete mixture of Princess Anna, Aurora, and Rapunzel. I am a bubbly person who loves to talk and find meaningful connections with every human being I find.
03. Artist at heart.
Photography gives me the ability to create my vision of the world. Unlike other photographers, I am driven by creating artwork for my clients. Sometimes, reality isn’t very pretty (crying children, uncooperative significant others, gloomy days, etc), and with my artistic eye and editing skills, I can turn any moment into beautiful artwork.
A few of my favorite things…

My Promise
My promise to you is that I will be here for you every step of the way to guide you, love you, and support you. My promise to you is that you will have an experience that is worth every penny. From the day you inquire about pricing, to the day we take your photos, to the day I carefully prepare your prints, I promise to take care of all the details so you don’t have to.
xoxo Ashley
