Inspired by love, I capture those special moments that celebrate families, couples, newborns, & kids, so you can Cherish them forever.

 

Hi I’m Ashley. I’ve been photographing authentic, natural moments since I was fourteen. Two decades later, and there’s still nothing I would rather be doing then to capture your in-between moments of quietness and connection, bursts of laughter and gentle glances.  

Together, we will create images that make you feel beautiful and tell YOUR story. . I am here to help you remember the gift that is now. Let’s tell your love story!

“I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day. Not only did she make us all super comfortable, she captured moments that we couldn’t have staged; and those were the most magical memories of all. Looking back (and on the day of) I’m still so impressed with her ability to schedule it all in. She was with us from wake up until the last song and was able to capture the girl’s day as well as the boy’s day effortlessly. Ashley coordinated the “first look” and knew exactly the vision we were trying to capture. I’m honestly so thrilled with her work that it makes me want to do my wedding all over again every time I look at the pictures.”

Ashley...we are on repeat looking at the magic you captured from our wedding day. I was a bit nervous to get my photos taken - I wasn’t really sure what I wanted. I just knew I wanted something natural - something that was us, something timeless, and you knocked it outta the park. You put everyone, including me at ease and captured the candid moments, the smiles, and man the sunset! Thank you for joining us in Mexico, our pictures are full of so much joy and love....and dancing, they capture the day perfectly!

From our hearts, we thank you. - Kristy Ruffell

Nothing gets me more excited than story telling through unobtrusive documentary, creatively photographing how it is.  It is such magic to give one moment in time the opportunity to live on forever.

People, and their natural beauty, is my passion, my love.
