Meet Ashley

Connection. Whether it's reminiscing on old times, a conversation with guests surrounding a picture in my home, or messages exchanged over images shared via social media; what I love about photography is its vast ability to form connections. My favorite currently is when my oldest asks daily to look at "pictures" when she was "sister's" age and being able to relive and share the moments that she can't quite remember back to. Connection. This is why I want to work with you: to help you achieve the vision and purpose you have for your session. Let's do more than just capture a pintrest/instagram worthy shot of the who, but to forever convey the what and the why. If you want to document the emotion, the details, and the experience; let's connect! 

Want to connect to who am I outside of photography? I started as a "Midwest Nomad" growing up in northern Indiana, attending Indiana University then relocating to Saint Louis, Cincinnati, and Chicago, before deciding the south is where I'm meant to be and putting down roots with my husband, Steve, and furbaby, Mila in Charlotte of 2016. I worked in sales, selling to national retailers until my first daughter was born. While I never thought I would leave the corporate world, the fear of missing out on the opportunities to make memories and connect with my family took over and trumped the ladder climbing, career driven side of me. Now having two daughters, my favorite avenues to make memories are the small but special and usually messy moments with my family, traveling to new places which mostly consist of playgrounds and splash pads these days, testing out different restaurants, and spending time at the beach. Between memories and when my babes are in dreamland, you are likely to find me very slowly making my house a home, enjoying a glass of wine and conversation with some friends, baking something very rich and sweet, or planning and preparing for our next special occassion to create memories with. Now that you have learned about me, I would love to connect with you!
