“Luxury sessions & beautiful artwork that speak a language of memories.”
Meet Ashley
Hello! I'm Ashley, a designer of natural light, lifestyle, and studio portraiture. I photograph the most organic moments you'll want to document and cherish forever and help you design how to showcase them. I serve busy moms across the state of Connecticut, preserving their memories while making them feel beautiful and fully valued.
I studied interior architecture at university and have worked in several design firms in Canada, New Zealand, and right here in the USA. My focus is now on designing the walls in your home.
I love all things beautiful, which first sparked my love of design. When I dug a little deeper, I found that my hobby, the elective I took in College, was actually my dream. I found a way to merge my love of design, Studio Mcgee, Pure Salt Interiors, Restoration Hardware, and Serena and Lilly, into the narrow focus of designing your walls with you. Of you. For you.
When I'm not taking photographs, you'll find me on some kind of adventure with my three little boys and handsome husband. I'm a military wife, so I fully understand and value being able to display and hold tangible memories.
It's the only way to freeze time.
"We have only this moment, sparking like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake" -Marie B. Ray
