Hi, I’m Ashley — the heart behind the camera!

I married the love of my life in July 2024, and together we welcomed our sweet baby boy on July 22, 2025, who has completely changed our world in the best way. I’m also a proud dog mom to my 8-year-old golden retriever, Harper, who truly holds a special place in my heart.

 

I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with a mom who has bred dogs for as long as I can remember. That lifelong passion led me to a career in the veterinary field, where I’ve worked for the past eight years. I currently work at a veterinary clinic and am certified in canine physical rehabilitation — a role I truly love and one that has shaped my patience, attention to detail, and care for others.

 

Photography has always been part of my story. After taking photography classes throughout high school, I eventually stepped away from it — but in 2019, I picked up my very first camera, and everything changed. I quickly fell back in love with the art of storytelling through images. Being able to capture meaningful moments and turn them into lifelong memories is something I don’t take lightly.

 

What I cherish most about this journey is the relationships I build with my clients. From first sessions to growing families and milestones, it means everything to me when clients continue to trust me to document their most special moments.

 

While photography isn’t my full-time role just yet, it is my passion — and one I hope to grow into full time very soon. I can’t wait to meet future clients and go above and beyond to create timeless, heartfelt images you’ll treasure for years to come.
