California roots
A heart for storytelling
A camera always within reach
My photography style is light, true-to-color, and emotionally grounded — designed to reflect your story as it really felt, not just how it looked.
But the heart behind my work? That started long before my business did.
I was thirteen the first time I picked up a camera, just a borrowed one on a hike with friends, and I couldn’t believe what it felt like to freeze a moment in time. To see light, emotion, and connection come alive in a still frame.
That moment changed everything for me.
I went on to study nonprofit management in college, always carrying a heart for service, advocacy, and community. And when the world shifted during the pandemic, I followed that heart into something new — using photography as a way to support, celebrate, and truly see people in some of their most meaningful seasons.
Since then, I’ve traveled across California photographing weddings, families, and love stories of all kinds — from backyard “I dos” to mountaintop elopements to sandy barefoot family sessions on the coast.
I'm Ashley
Fresno wedding & family PHOTOGRAPHER
I feel most at home in natural light and open spaces. The kind of places where people can breathe and be themselves.
Some of my favorite locations to photograph include Yosemite, the Redwoods, and the Central California coast. But nothing means more to me than documenting connection right here in the community that raised me.
I was born and raised in the Central Valley, where I live with my husband, our son, and our two sweet pups.
Whether I’m capturing your wedding day or your growing family, my goal is the same: to help you slow down and hold on to what matters.
I’ll be there — gently guiding, quietly observing, and capturing it all with care.
Because this season won’t last forever. But your photos will.

The most important factor when choosing a photographer is to find someone who you can connect with and feel comfortable around. Ashley was the perfect fit for us!

She really let us be ourselves and captured beautiful and joyful moments of us as a couple!
The first book I wrote was called "The Little Whale", which was a parody of my favorite movie at the time - The Little Mermaid. I was 8, and had found a new passion for telling stories! I've since learned to tell stories through my photos, but still enjoy a good fantasy novel before bed.

Connecting with others drew me into nonprofit management - the ability to find those points of connection with virtual strangers and develop relationships from them brings me so much joy.

I learned form an early age that exploration can lead to more knowledge and understanding, making the world a better place as you adventure. I love traveling for photography, as I develop more passion for my home of California.
