Meet Your Photographer
hiya! 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 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] I started out wedding catering, then managing high-end events… now I photograph them (I’ve dipped my toes in the water and 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 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.
I love 90’s rap, thrifting, crime shows, Vans sneakers, and Little Debbies.
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?
I am limiting the weddings + elopements I’m taking on for the 2025-2026 season as I plan to focus on my creative approach; and give clients my absolute ALL this upcoming season by not burning myself out (cause babe, I’m human too!)
