BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Ashley

Lover of antiques and rustic European charm. Middle sister. Dog snuggler. Collector of moments and old stories. Inspired by quiet mornings, soft light, and the magic of everyday motherhood.

I’m Ashley—a photographer, a mother, and someone who deeply understands the swirl of emotions that come with welcoming a new baby.

I’ve spent years capturing motherhood and the early days of family life, but I’ve also lived it. I know how overwhelming it can be. The tender chaos. The joy. The fatigue. The quiet, sacred beauty in the everyday.

This studio was born out of a desire to serve mothers the way I wish I had been served—to create a calm, nurturing space where you feel seen, cared for, and never rushed. My approach is gentle and intentional, with every detail handled so you can simply be present.

Because these moments matter—and I’m here to help you hold onto them.
