About
01. Let's get personal
I love capturing milestones, a mothers heart, a family, love, and turning it into art. Capturing timeless moments for a mom to hold onto forever. It's my passion, but also my business. I've been blessed to be a full time portrait photographer for over 16 years. I specialize in modern fine art, portraits & products that will stand the test of time.

About Me
Hi there! I'm Ash!
Wife, mom of 2 big kids & 3 dogs.
I'm a big fan of orange pineapple icee's, lake days, travel, sleeping in, strong coffee, tj maxx, mexican food, getting my hair done, 90's music with the windows semi rolled down... semi rolled down because... hair... and so much more. I love life. I absolutely freakin love it. I love living it & capturing it. Capturing it in a way that is timeless. I have been obsessed with photographs since I was a very young child. If my house was on fire & I could only grab one thing, you can believe that I would be rushing at full speed straight to the pictures, the albums, the scrapbooks. It's these memories that are priceless to me. I still pinch myself that my job is to capture & create something this important for other families.

Some of my thoughts regarding Photography
I love my job. Yes, it's a passion, but it's not just a hobby. I have poured my life into my craft. It is my business. I love capturing a moment in time for a family to hold onto forever. Honestly, I believe deeply that photography is so important that I don't care who your photographer is, I only care that you do it! From years in this business, I can also say that connecting with one photographer & staying loyal to them allows your family to get comfortable with them. I love this, getting to know, truly know a family, capturing them year after year, watching their children grow. When you really get to know someone, a baby, child, or adult, it is then that you can truly capture them. When you choose your family photographer, make sure you are choosing someone dedicated to their craft & getting to know your family & loving your children. For me this is pure joy. I also believe we invest in this type of photography for the art work. I am a big believer in timeless portraits. I love a timeless classic portrait that stands the test of time. I believe in printed photographs and portraits as art. I run a full service studio because I want you to have finished products, not just digital files to post on social media. I love social media, I do offer digital files. But, my main goal is art on your walls that represent your heart and keepsake products for your family that will stand the test of time.

"Ashley has been our photographer, for my kids & family for 10 years and she is the best. She really takes time with you and your family to ensure you capture the special moments. She is so patient when the kids are not acting the best but always captures their personalities which is priceless. I would highly recommend Ashley for anyone looking to capture these moments that you will treasure for a lifetime."

"Wow. This whole experience was great, top to bottom. Ashley is so knowledgeable, patient, and talented. She was great in helping us plan for our shoot. The actual shoot was so much fun. But after, she really took so much time with us helping us create something amazing for our wall in our home, she created a gorgeous gallery wall for us, it makes me smile every day! There's no other art I would rather have on my walls than my family, Ashley made it happen! She also made us an album that is to die for. I am blown away by the quality of this album! We will treasure it forever. My husband does not like taking photo's or spending money & even he said it was worth every penny!"

Honestly, the details depend on the type of session or plan you are booking. It's all a very customized experience. Here are the things that always apply:
1. Contact me. We can chat about what you are wanting to capture via phone or an in person consult.
2. Book a session. You pay for your session fee when you book, this reserves your spot.
3. We can chat via email, phone, or in person to discuss session details, including clothing.
4. Session day! My sessions are relaxed, laid back, and fun! After your session we will book a date for you to come to the studio for your viewing & ordering appointment.
5. 1-3 weeks after your session, you will come to the studio for your portrait viewing & ordering appointment. Again, this is laid back & relaxed but it's also super exciting & beautiful. It's my favorite part!! We will look at all of your portraits, smile, laugh, & sometimes cry. We will look at all of the product options and decide what is right for you. I go through everything with you personally. I'm not a sales expert, I'm an artist. I don't ever want to sell you everything. I want to create keepsake pieces that are right for YOU. We will talk it out & you can choose a collection or we will put together an order customized to you.

It is an investment in your memories. You always have the option to split up your order payments. The end goal is always for you to have heirloom quality portraits & products, payment plans are always an option. We are capturing a moment in time of your children & family, for you to hold onto forever. As a mother, I am so passionate about the importance of this.
Payment
Baby milestone sessions, the standard is 3, 6, 9, & 12 months. However, I've been specializing in baby portraiture for over a decade, I don't know who decided on this 3, 6, 9, 12. Every baby is different. Every baby reaches their milestones at different months. I want to capture your babies milestones, not a specific date on the calendar. I will help you choose dates that are right for your little ones growth.
Milestone sessions
I provide everything needed for newborn sessions. You only need a precious new baby! For other milestone baby sessions (3, 6, 9, 12, months) I recommend 1-3 outfits. You can bring more, I will help you narrow.
Baby session clothing
What to wear for your session depends on the type of session. We will chat about this in your consult. Overall, I want to create portraits for you that are timeless, so I love looks that are timeless. It's important to choose the right clothing & I am happy to help. For newborn sessions no clothing is needed.
