hi, i’m ashley!
a little about me…
I am originally from the Dayton area, however, Toledo is now my forever home! I have been married to my husband for 15 years and we have 2 beautiful girls and 2 pups, Ollie & Griffey. I enjoy long strolls down the aisles of Target and my guilty pleasure is my love for trashy reality TV. When I’m not busy with work & my girls, I love reading, traveling near & far, and seeing live music/concerts.
my photography journey...
I picked up a camera shortly after my first daughter was born in 2009 and quickly realized this was more than just a hobby. I spent almost 2 years learning everything I could about photography until I had the opportunity to shoot my first newborn session and it. just. CLICKED. (no pun intended, haha!) It was immediately apparent to me that newborns, babies and all things motherhood are my passion. I began specializing in newborn photography in 2011 and haven’t looked back since!
Over the last 11 years, I have invested countless hours into perfecting my skills, have completed newborn workshops from some of the most respected educators in the industry, and learned how to achieve those poses in the safest way possible. I can proudly say that I am trained by the best of the best. Choosing the right photographer can be very overwhelming! You can take comfort in knowing that I have the experience & training necessary to safely handle your most precious gift.
I am absolutely in love with my job and can’t imagine a life that doesn’t involve newborn snuggles & baby giggles!
My work has been featured in an article by People and I have been named The Best Newborn Photographer in Toledo Ohio since 2017
