I love spending time in the Outer Banks – anywhere close to water and I am perfectly at peace. I hadn’t had the chance to get there this summer so when Aubrey asked me to take these pictures for them I couldn’t get in the car fast enough!
I arrived with time to spare before the session, which was amazing because I was able to soak in time to myself, with the perfect breeze and the most relaxing sound of the ocean. So thankful for those moments to decompress in one of my favorite places!
Aubrey and I have been friends since high school and I love spending time with her! I’ve been honored to photograph some memorable sessions for them like their proposal and other family sessions! Her and her husband Dakota traveled to OBX to celebrate his 30th birthday and just like the other opportunities, I feel SO grateful they asked me to come & take these pictures! I thought it was so sweet that they brought their furbaby Paisley along for the fun – Aubrey said “I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to have Paisley involved in these pictures because she is getting older and we wanted to capture their love for her before they have children because she is our baby!” She was the perfect bonus to this session. I mean, look how cute! It is very obvious just how loved and adored she is!
I always take the opportunity to ask my clients to share feedback from their experience with me during their session and as a photographer and I want to share how humbled Aubrey made me feel – She said “Our experience with Ashley was incredible as always and so much fun! She always has great ideas for posing and locations and it was her idea to get in the water with us! She has photographed most of our memorable moments in life, family, our proposal, snagged some personal shots at our wedding (she was a guest not our photographer) and we plan to use her forever!! I always recommend her to anyone who asks because she is the best photographer in Richmond! And I say that with an honest opinion not just because she is a close friend!”
I can’t say how blessed I am to have friends like Aubrey & Dakota and enjoy every time I get to capture sweet cherished memories for them! I hope you’ll enjoy seeing more images from their OBX session below, including some fun shots I got with my gopro while I got in the water with them! Anything for the perfect shot!
Xoxo,
Ashley
