I'm so glad you're here.
Hi, I'm Ashlee
a glimpse into my life
It feels like yesterday they wouldn’t let me put them down… and now they’re taller than me and probably making fun of me in this very photo. 😉
Life with boys is loud, hilarious, and full of personality — and I wouldn’t trade a single second of it.
Jagger & Jack are my world - and although they're not crawling in my lap any more, they're still Mama's boys through and through, and I'm so thankful they're mine.
I'm a boy mom
Before photography became my full-time job, I spent two decades as an elementary special education teacher.
That means I’ve worked with every personality, every energy level, and every “big feeling” you can imagine. If your child needs time to warm up, I get it. If they’re wildly energetic, I’m ready for it!
If they’re shy, silly, stubborn, or somewhere in between — I promise, I’ve seen it all. There’s a reason sessions feel relaxed with me. I’m not fazed easily… and I genuinely love kids.
I taught for 20 years!
I’ve been married to Jonathan for over two decades — long enough to know that love deepens in the ordinary moments.
We’ve raised our boys together, celebrated milestones, and weathered seasons that stretched us beyond what we could've imagined.
That kind of shared history changes how you see photographs. They’re not just pretty images. They’re reminders of who you’ve walked through life with.

My faith has been the anchor of my life — especially in seasons of deep loss. After losing London, I learned that when nothing in this world could steady my heart, Jesus could.
Because of that, I don’t see photography as just a job. I see it as a gift — one I’ve been entrusted with. Scripture teaches us to use the gifts God gives us to serve others, and that’s how I approach every session. With compassion. With patience. With care.
Brokenness and joy can exist in the same story. I’ve lived that. And it’s shaped the way I show up for the families I photograph.
I'm a Christian
London is the reason I photograph with intention.
Losing her taught me that a single image can carry a lifetime of meaning and that photographs aren't just decorations - they're reminders of love that never leaves.
If you'd like to understand more of the heart behind my work, I share more of London's story below.

You can relax
I'll guide you every step of the way.
You don’t need perfectly behaved kids.
You don’t need a spotless house.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
And seniors — you don’t have to know what to do with your hands either. 😉
You just need to show up.
The most beautiful moments aren’t scripted — they’re the in-between laughs, the wind-blown hair, the confident smile you didn’t realize you had, the way your family leans into each other without thinking. That’s the good stuff. That’s what lasts.
Life is messy and wonderful all at the same time. I’m not here to chase perfection. I’m here to capture connection — and confidence. The hugs. The giggles. The proud, almost-grown-up moments. The way this season feels right now.
So take a deep breath.
We’ll play. We’ll move. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the magic is unfolding on its own. You might even forget you’re being photographed.
Years from now, you won’t care if everything was flawless. You’ll care that you can see who you were — and who you loved — in this season.
That’s what we’re creating together.
what you can expect
Kind words
