 I'm Ashley, and this is my beautiful family-- my kiddos Maxton and Roslyn. Josh, my husband and Sully, our Fur baby! 

I've been doing this photography thing as a business since 2012, my passion arrived in high school but I never thought I would ever be a photographer! I took that leap in 2012 to make it side-job and it quickly became a career and I never looked back. I have been blessed in so many ways with my business and I have been blessed even more by the people and friendships that have evolved over the years!

  I tell stories with photographs and words. I think those two things work in tandem. I'm a deep thinker and I have a good sense of people and surroundings. I often see potential in locations that most people don't. I've always had an eye for those things. If I'm not out photographing, I'm spending time with my family, teaching fitness classes, running, riding horses, volunteering in the community or enjoying the outdoors with my family!

Some important things you should know about me:

  ~ I treasure photos. They are priceless memories, heirlooms that tell the story of your life. 

  ~ I consider it a blessing to be your historian and preserve your memories.

  ~ I get super excited when I see something I love and... I don't hide it. HA!

  ~ I have deep faith, I don't hide that either.

  ~ I hate Ohio winters, but I love the beauty of snow.

 ~  I have goals to retire in Florida while photographing families, small weddings, or cute kids holding         seashells.

 ~  I sing loud in my car.

 ~ Black and White Photographs are my favorite.

 ~ Seniors are my favorite sessions.

 ~ Weddings make me emotional at times, yet I hide my tears with my camera.

 ~ I don't cook, My husband cooks and cleans. (I know, I'm super lucky! LOL!)

 ~ I'm a "forever-cheerleader".

 ~ I have large hair, and you can spot me from far away! LOL!

 My business is personal, I'm personally invested in you... and it makes my heart sing when I see photos that I have taken on your walls, in your home. That is so rewarding to me. 

In the past decade and beyond, I have had many National publications, billboards, awards, magazine articles with career recognition, Magazine covers, News and media coverage AND an Emmy Award - Photojournalism (Senior Portraits) with WKYC- Cleveland, Chris Blake.. and yes, I have the commemorative Statue to prove it. It's been a great journey and I am so grateful for the love, support and memories.

  I'm super excited to work with you! Contact me, lets start chatting and make memories!

XOXO
