II’m so glad you’re here. I’m Ashley, a Spokane born creative with strong PNW roots and a love for quiet, soulful spaces — old buildings, cozy cafes, and places that feel lived in. Life has recently led me to Upstate South Carolina, where I’m embracing a new chapter both personally and creatively.

Before anything else, I’m a mother. A fourth time mama, and currently on a very special journey as a first-time surrogate (baby due June 2026). Motherhood, in all its forms has deeply shaped how I see people, connection, and the quiet in-between moments that matter most.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me fully in mom mode — keeping the little humans thriving, organizing life’s chaos, and finding space to drink my coffee before it gets cold. I spent eight years in early childhood education, and I’ve always been fascinated by psychology, especially how our experiences shape who we become. That background naturally carries into my photography, where patience, intuition, and emotional awareness guide the way I work with families and children.

Coffee and music are absolutely love languages in my world, sitting still isn’t really my strong suit. I’m always dreaming up new creative ideas, working on a project or spending time with my family — along with our fur babies, Normand (our doggo), and sister kitties, Margo and Billie.

At the heart of it all, I simply love documenting connection, motherhood and real life.
