Meet Ashley
Hello! I'm Ashley, an interior 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 studied interior architecture in university and have worked in several design firms in Canada, New Zealand and right here in the USA. My focus is now designing the walls in your home.
When I'm not taking pictures, 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.
The Experience
Service from the first phone call, to printing and framing your artwork.
My goal is to create a seamless session from the first phone call to your portraits on the wall. As a mom of three young children, I know your time is so valuable, but it's also passing so quickly. I aim to document the your season of motherhood, but take away all the stress that can come from planning a portrait session. Hair and makeup, wardrobe and even in the design of your gallery walls with my interior design eye, are all aspects of my session experience that I gladly offer each and every client.
I serve clients across the state of Connecticut for studio, on-location and in-home sessions.
