Hi, I’m Ashley.
I’m a Southern California native, wife, mother of two, and family and child photographer with more than a decade of experience. I create natural-light portraits that preserve the connection, personality, and little moments that make your family yours.
My family and I now call South Orange County home. I photograph families in Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and the surrounding communities, with select dates in La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Pasadena, Glendale, and the greater Los Angeles area.
Inspired by family and California light
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me camping, exploring outdoors, or spending time with my husband and children. My love of nature and golden California light shapes the warm, timeless photographs I create. As a mother, I know how quickly childhood changes—and how much it means to remember each season.
Room for your children to be themselves
Your family doesn’t need to arrive knowing how to pose. My approach is patient, playful, and relaxed, with gentle guidance and space for shy smiles, busy toddlers, belly laughs, and snuggles. I want your photographs to feel like you.
Personal care from start to finish
You’ll work directly with me from your first inquiry through planning your session and choosing a location. Afterward, I personally hand-edit every final image with care. My goal is to make the experience easy and enjoyable, and give you photographs that bring you back to this moment for years to come.
I’d love to help tell your family’s story.
