The Experience
What does a portrait experience entail?

How should I prepare for my portrait session?
Why should I invest in portrait photography with you?
Going into a portrait experience without a consultation is like hiring a designer to customize your home and knowing nothing about you! Let's get to know one another.

Ashlie is exactly who I needed for a prelaunch branding shoot. Before the shoot, she was thoughtful about what shots to prepare for. She got to know my (lack of) experience in front of camera. She understood the vibe I was going for, and listened when I had concerns. During the shoot, she has very uplifting, fast energy, which is exactly what I needed to keep me elevated and smiling. She gives helpful cues to ensure position, posture, light, etc. are most flattering. Her studio is beautiful and varied enough for different types of shots, and it's resourced with equipment to get what she needs with every shot. She provided an in-studio stylist who was very easy to work with, talented, and truly hit the mark.
Ashlie is remarkable at boosting confidence, staying flexible, and engaging with her client. Equally important to her vibe and talent is that Ashlie cares about her clients' success. She is kind, respectful, and trustworthy. I'm SO glad I found her!

"Ashlie- you did an amazing job! From our initial conversation where you wanted go make sure you captured my “vision,” I knew o was in great hands. Your attention to detail, professionalism, and patience were unbelievable. Despite Mia being less than cooperative and not interested in cake, you captured amazing shots that we will cherish as she gets old. Thank you so much."

"I seriously cannot get over how incredible my daughter's portraits came out! Her Senior Portrait Experience has totally been tailored to her likes, wants, and future interests. I mean, Ashlie has taken her out in the streets, on railroad tracks, in the studio, and just near really cool buildings and backdrops. If you're looking for a tailored senior portfolio experience, definitely check her out!"

"If you want timeless memories and stunning photos taken of you and your family Ashlie knows how to deliver! Her work truly speaks for itself in the beautiful photos she takes and the time and energy she gives to her clients. I was blown away by my maternity photos as well as our newborn family photos.
