ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Ashlee.

​

I’m a mom of three, and that shapes everything I do, both in life and behind the camera. I know how fast the phases go, how the little things change overnight, and how badly you wish you could hold onto them just a little longer. That’s why I care so much about what I capture.

​

I’m drawn to connection, the way your child reaches for you without thinking, the chaos, the softness, the in-between moments that actually tell your story. Those are the images that matter years from now.

​

Growing up on the West Coast has shaped the way I see and photograph everything - the gorgeous golden hour light, the beaches, the trees, the mountains. It’s a huge part of the feeling you’ll see in my work.

​

Almost every session starts the same way, with people telling me they’re awkward, they don’t know what to do, or they’re nervous being in front of a camera. That’s normal. But after photographing hundreds of families, I’ve learned how to quickly put people at ease. I’ll guide you, hype you up and I'm a little bossy - I'll be there hollering commands and making you laugh. Within a few minutes, you’ll settle in, and most people end up saying it was way more fun than they expected.

You don’t need to know what to do. That’s my job.

​

My sessions are relaxed, easy, and built around real moments, not perfect ones. Bring your kids as they are. Bring the chaos. Bring the dog, always. Because this isn’t about perfect, it’s about what’s real and what you'll really want to remember.
