hi, im ashley

Your photographer

I PROMISE TO PHOTOGRAPH YOU AND YOURS WITH THE UTMOST CARE, CREATIVITY, AND PASSION

When a Christmas present in 2008 turned into the most fulfilling and life giving career I could have ever imagined…

I’m 15 years in and still regularly have pinch me moments. I am so glad I switched my major in college and chased the dream.

It has been an amazing ride where I have had the opportunity to shoot over 300 weddings, and upwards of 2,000+ portrait sessions. I am incredibly passionate about documenting the true love between people and the innocent sweetness of children.

After 13 years in the wedding industry I decided to hang up my hat after a cancer diagnosis in 2022. It was a great run, and I miss it dearly, but I know focusing my efforts on photographing families is exactly what I am meant to be doing at this time.

I am excited to get back to shooting families full time in 2025. I will be shooting at 5 locations around Columbus this year. You can click the below links to book or email me directly! And, if you have a creative session idea or location be sure to let me know!
