A few of my favorite things

I live in the good old heart of Virginia with my daughter Reagan, and our Yorkie Terrier, Daisy. I love being by the water whenever possible, and I'm the first to volunteer if there's water-skiing or wake-boarding involved. I'm passionate about spreading positivity and making an impact. When I'm not wearing my mom hat, there's a good chance I'm busy talking astrology with friends, aligning my chakras, giving back to local charities, eating taco bell or jamming out to country music during an intense editing session.

a deeper dive into who i am

In 2013, I was an aesthetician who had a knack for using my Canon Rebel T3 to take personal photos of my life and friends. That year, I took my first ever second-shooting gig for a wedding, marking the start of my hobby blooming into a small photography business.

Eight years later, my passion for documenting life's most precious moments and inspiring others to pursue their dreams has been my driving force as a seasoned business owner. I am a firm believer in pouring love into the people who support my goals and dreams, so don't be surprised when you receive a random text of encouragement, a 'thank you' package in the mail, or a personalized holiday card from my family to yours. Once we've worked together, we're in this thing for life, baby!

How photography became an integral part of my life

I love to get to know my clients personally and stay connected long past our session. I can't wait to chat it up, and hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about me and my story as you keep reading!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer located in Richmond, VA who found her passion for photography through the desire to savor life's greatest and most cherished memories for others. Even as a young girl I would often be found with a camera in hand and I am grateful that I am able to live out my passion for photography as a career.

Hi, I'm Ashley!

Meet your photographer

Reagan was Born on March 30, 2018: after a long 17 hours in labor, I finally got to meet this beautiful little girl. Reagan is the biggest blessing to me and pushes me every day to not only be a great mom but to follow my dreams! Photography brings so much peace to my life and I love every moment and memory I capture. I cherish each moment of life so much more intensely now and hold the value of every memory so much higher. I truly believe this makes me a better photographer just as much as she makes me a better person! Reagan is the center of my entire world!

All in all, becoming a mother is, hands-down, the best thing to ever happen to me. I have found so much more purpose and motivation for all that I do in my personal life and in business. Reagan is my "why"!

No only am I photographer, but I truly love the business side of paper work, accounting, spread sheets, owning a studio and the numbers and behind the senes office work that come with running a business.

My family and friends are my number one priority in my life! I truly have one of the best families - they are my rock and I don’t know where I would be without their support over the years.

I love being able to help and teach others what I have learned over the years. I plan to start offering more one on one sessions and volunteering at schools to teach children photography.
