A newborn baby, in Essex CT

Funny story, when I asked this beautiful momma if her baby liked white noise she said "He would probably prefer Grey's Anatomy." And so, we put on Grey's Anatomy.

When my son was a baby, he loved Fraser, in particular the theme song. He was a fussy baby, but for some reason was happy when Fraser or football was on.


These stories sound so silly, but I encourage all parent's to write these sweet memories down somewhere or create a baby journal because there will be so many quirky, unique and funny moments ahead!

A Note from Ashley


Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work! I hope you enjoyed the images from my latest newborn session in Essex, Connecticut.

I have a beautifully simple and bright studio in Westbrook Connecticut, but also travel to my client’s homes or meet families on location to create beautiful artwork from their images. 

If you would like to see more of my work, please browse the Gallery of Work tab and make sure to mention your favorites.

As a mom of three boys, I know that these moments are fleeting. Photography is the only way to capture these moments in time and that’s my ultimate goal with my clients. The portraits of my children are priceless. 

If you would like more information about a session, please fill out the contact form on my website and I will personally email or text you back within two business days. My studio is a short drive for anyone living in Hartford, Middlesex, New London, or New Haven Counties. I also travel throughout the state of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
