A Relaxed, Guided Experience for Expecting Parents

My approach is focused on comfort, support, and capturing authentic moments. Sessions are tailored to your needs — from gentle posing to styling assistance — so you can relax and enjoy the experience while we create stunning, emotional portraits that will last a lifetime.


What to Expect at Your Maternity Session

Sessions typically last 1–2 hours, allowing time for outfit changes, comfort breaks, and natural movement. The focus is on capturing the essence of your pregnancy with soft, natural lighting and thoughtful composition that feels luxurious but relaxed.


Ashley is incredible! During our maternity shoot she made me feel so confidently beautiful, I left feeling on top of the world. To trump that feeling, the photos that she sent truly took my (and my husband’s) breath away! Choosing outfits can add so much stress to a maternity shoot- her wardrobe is the perfect touch. Thank you, Ashley, for images that we will cherish for a lifetime. You will not regret booking with her!!!!
