hey there!

MEET ASHLEY

Photography first captured my heart when I realized how great it is at creating intimate connections with people in an incredibly fun setting. Today, I’m a lifestyle photographer who captures genuine moments for humans, businesses, and everything in between. When not hustling to one gig or another, you can usually find me exploring the city with friends, binge-watching my current Netflix obsession, or daydreaming about my next adventure.

I live in Minneapolis with my partner Justin and our crazy critters Maya, Nova, & Ptolemy. While I'm a Minnesotan through and through, Kansas City captured my heart when I attended the University of Central Missouri. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2016 with a B.S. degree in Photography. Since then I've been photographing full time!

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

My style has been called “simple,” “expressive,” “bold,” but most importantly “genuine.” My photographs combine rich light, wonderful color, and creative directing to capture images of you at your natural best. Your photo shoot will always be a fun and relaxed experience, and then I apply technical excellence during editing to create your final pictures.

It is always my intent that the images I create reflect your personality and style. I love shooting in environments that enhance your personal story. I’m always scouting for great locations, and get ridiculously excited when the subject and the background complement each other perfectly.

THE ADVENTURER

I love to travel, especially to anywhere near an ocean. I'm a firm believer that an adventure does not have to be a grand trip around the world though! An adventure can be something as simple as going to the grocery store with your loved one, or getting lost driving around aimlessly with your best friend. The key is turning everyday moments into meaningful experiences. I believe that the magic in life comes from the experiences we have with the ones we love, thus everyday is an adventure. So, let’s get started on capturing your adventure, whether it be little or large!
