Meet Your Photographer

Heyyy— I’m ashLEY!

I’m an all inclusive Wedding + Motherhood Lifestyle Photographer born, raised, and still thriving in Northeast, Ohio (always looking for an excuse to get out of Cleveland and use my passport!)

After graduating; I realized the typical 9-5 life was not for me; doing the same repetitive thing over and over- I knew I needed a creative outlet! I jumped into this industry a little over [10yrs ago] I started out wedding catering, then managing high-end social events… and now I photograph them (I guess it’s safe to say that like to get around hahaha!)

My tribe— I’m a mama to a 4yr old high-energy little monster; Demitri, and he has an infant sister, Sunny. My heart belongs to a chef, Sam. We have three cats (Koji, Miso, and Chia Seed). We enjoy going on sushi dates, glamping on our occasional weekends off, and binging the trendiest show my sister’s Hulu account has offer.

I loveee 90’s rap, thrifting, crime shows, Vans sneakers, and the occasional Little Debbie.

To sum it up… I’m a little weird, a little loud, I laugh at my own jokes, I don’t like to color in the lines, I’m a little bit of a rule breaker- I love to travel, network with other creatives, trying new restaurants, making random conversation, and craft beers!

SOOO DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?
