Meet Your Photographer
hiya! I’m ashLEY!
Born, raised, and still thriving in Cleveland, Ohio (but always looking for any excuse to use my passport!)
After graduating; I realized the 9-5 desk life was not for me. Doing the same thing over and over- I knew I needed a creative outlet. I jumped into this industry a little over [8yrs ago] reached out to a friend who was wedding photographer; eventually leading me to starting my own business- till this day we remain besties and still make an appearance associate shooting and second shooting at each others weddings!
My tribe— I’m a mama to a 3yr old high-energy little monster; Demitri. The love of my life, Sam is a chef; we have two cats, enjoy going on sushi dates, camping on our rare weekends off, and binging the trendiest show my sister’s hulu account has offer.
We consider ourselves to be outdoorsy home-bodies… if that makes any sense?!
To sum it up… I’m a little weird, a little loud, I laugh at my own jokes, loveee to travel, networking with other creatives, trying new restaurants, making random conversation, and craft beers!
SOOO DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?
Don’t wait to book services!
I am limiting the weddings + elopements I’m taking on for the 2024-2025 season as I plan to focus on my creative approach; and give clients my absolute ALL this season by not burning myself out (cause babe, I’m human too!)
