about me
the how + why
Hey! I'm Ashlee...
And I've also felt personally attacked by my awkwardness in photos.
That's why I know I can help you. I've seen, experienced and conquered the awkward photograph both behind and in front of the camera.
I bet you're expecting me to go on and on about all the details of my life here. About how I do this for my husband, my kid and my pets, like every other photographer.
But, that's not me. The reality is, I do this for you.
I will however, tell you my origin story at the bottom of this page.

Because I know that one day all you'll have from these moments are the images. So, let's make some art and memories!
- I value that moments and memories are fleeting. How many times have you looked through your photos and thought "I totally forgot about that"?
- Photography is creating art out of a unique moment in time. A split second moment that without being captured, could be gone forever or never acknowledged at all.

my origin story
This crazy rollercoaster started when I was five years old. No, I didn't want to be a photographer, I actually wanted to be a fashion designer. But, I LOVED taking photos. Cue five year old me herding all of our kittens and dogs together with my disposable camera. The image to your right is one of my first ever photos.
just the facts
Fast forward a couple years.
I got my first digital camera for a birthday as a pre-teen. There were several awkward images taken and no those ones I will not share haha.
The moment everything changed.
Picture a husband who has been the subject of dozens of photoshoots. He said to me "maybe you should consider becoming a photographer, so you can take someone else's photo for a change."
Jokes on him though. Now I take photos of other people AND him.

It's your five year wedding anniversary. A rainy Monday evening after a long day at work.
You get home and walk into your living room. Your spouse is on the couch smiling and laughing. They're watching something on TV. You make your way over and snuggle up to them.
When you look up, you realize they're watching a slideshow from your wedding day. You smile as all the little moments you forgot pass by. You feel so many emotions as the images pass by. You feel like you're re-living those moments again.
That's the power of an image.
This is the moment I strive to create for all my couples.
Imagine this:
-bailey
She has made each session comfortable and enjoyable for both myself and my little ones.
She really takes her time in making sure she captures the best pictures.
I cannot say enough good things about her as a person and a photographer I look forward too using her in the future for all my other photography needs!
