Investment guide
ashley norton photography
I know how many tabs you’ve probably had open, looking at galleries, comparing packages, and wondering what’s actually included. I also know what brought you here isn’t just a question of price. It’s about how this season feels, and wanting to hold onto that feeling, even when your baby’s tiny hands aren’t so tiny anymore.
This page will walk you through what it’s like to work with me, what’s included, and what you can expect to invest in both sessions and printed artwork. But more than that, I hope it helps you feel, deep in your heart, that you’ve found someone who will care for these memories like they matter. Because they do.
You're in the right place
Welcome!
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most tender transitions — beautiful, but also full of change. You want more than posed photos; you want to remember how this season felt. The weight of your baby in your arms, the quiet moments, the love that fills your home.
That’s why we begin with thoughtful planning and gentle guidance. From styling support to simple preparation tips, I’ll help you feel ready so that when the session day comes, you can simply slow down and soak in these fleeting moments.
We start with planning
You can simply breathe and be present. I’ll take care of the rest.
Newborn sessions are calm, slow, and centered on connection. I’ll gently guide you so your photos feel natural — full of tenderness, not posing.
My focus is on capturing the fleeting details you never want to forget. The softness of their skin, the way they rest against you, the quiet joy in your home. You can relax, soak it in, and trust that your family’s love will be beautifully preserved.
Real Moments, Gently Guided
You can simply hold your baby close and be present.
Once your gallery is ready, you’ll get to relive it all. The way they reached for you. The way you looked at them. The little details you didn’t even notice in the moment.
This isn’t just a set of images. It’s a quiet, powerful reminder of how deeply you love and are loved.
Your gallery is ready
Not just photos, it's a feeling you can remember.
You’ll have the opportunity to decide how you’d like to preserve your images — whether that’s enjoying them digitally, creating an heirloom album, or displaying them throughout your home.
I’ll guide you through the options, but the decision is yours. You’ll know what feels right for your home and this season of life.
Choose what matters most
The moments you’ll return to again and again.

Seeing the pictures brought me to tears... The photos truly felt like us and captured all of our love for girl.

By far my favorite photos that we’ve ever taken.
I loved how Ashley captured candid moments and put an emphasis on us being comfortable the whole time.
Client Love
You might be looking at this link together, or maybe one of you found it first and sent it with a quiet, hopeful “what do you think?”
And you might be wondering why this one. Why this session costs more than what you’ve seen elsewhere.
Here’s the truth. You can absolutely find someone cheaper. But this isn’t just about photos. It’s about care.
It’s about slowing down in a season that can feel tender, messy, and full of change. It’s about having someone who takes care of the details—guiding you through what to wear, helping you feel comfortable, and creating calm when everything feels new. It’s about letting go of the pressure to plan or perform and simply being together. To hold your baby close, to rest in this moment, to be seen for who you are right now.
These photos aren’t just keepsakes. They’re a reminder of love in its most honest form. Of how fleeting these days are, and how deeply this little chapter will matter years from now.
And maybe that’s why you’re here. Because this feels like more than a session—it feels like a chance to remember how it all began.
