"A photograph is a return ticket to a memory otherwise gone."

I am a photographer, a mother and wife.
Hi everyone, I'm Ashley. A lifestyle photographer specializing in family and couples portrait photography. I have been married for 12 years and we have two beautiful boys 7 and 10. We live in the beautiful PNW in Spokane Valley, WA. My love for photography began at a young age but I started really diving into it in 2020. As a stay at home mom of two boys I needed a creative outlet; a hobby. It quickly grew from hobby to passion. I started taking classes and jumped right in to family sessions.
Just as each family is unique, so is every session, capturing the essence and reality of your family's connection and love is my goal. My approach to photography is easy and relaxed, we don't take ourselves too seriously here! Instead of using common posing and the ever popular "SAY CHEESE", I use a series of prompts and games that are fun, easy and very adaptable (especially for our little ones that have little to no attention span).
My love for photography will show through your photos. It's my pleasure and my honor to capture your families most precious moments.
Why hire a family photographer?
this time with your kids is so important
Why hire a family photographer when you can take photos and videos with your phone? Sure, the beautiful mundane snaps from everyday life are great and so wonderful to look back on. But one very important piece is missing, YOU. You are not in the picture, having fun with your lovely family. A professional photographer can capture your family’s legacy as a whole. It’s photos that you’ll want to print and hang all around your house.
these are the days we'll look back on
The laughter, the chaos, the love.
Each session booked is unique to the family booking it. Maybe you have special requests and are very specific to what you are looking for or maybe you have never done professional photos before and you have no idea what to ask or what to wear. I make myself available to you in both cases.
You're not just booking a photography session; you are working with a photographer with a passion for art and a drive to produce the best photos for your family.
Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every moment.
It feels like only yesterday you found out that you’re expecting your baby. Nine months flew by, and you welcomed your newborn into the world. A few sleepless nights, and they’re already crawling, then walking, then running.
You wish you could freeze time, so they stay little and curious about everything, for a bit longer. But time doesn’t stop, and all you can do is save each memory through a photo, and revisit it weeks, months and years from now.
