Ashlan was great. We felt super comfortable with her. She came with ideas for our engagement photos and then we both collaborated together for other ideas in the moment. Our photos turned out great.

Ashlan was superb! My fiancé and I were so happy to have worked with her to do our engagement shoot. She was so responsive and followed up in the days leading up to our scheduled shoot. She was extremely professional and courteous, but also curated a fun setting for the actual shoot - we felt relaxed and at ease with her direction, as she suggested poses for us for the pictures. It was clear that she was knowledgeable about lighting, shadows, etc. You should definitely hire Alexis for your next planned photo shoot!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ashlan for a photoshoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly cool and easy-going throughout the entire session, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free.
Ashlan suggested some fantastic locations that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. She took a lot of photos, ensuring we had plenty of options to choose from. Her willingness to adjust and accommodate our requests was truly impressive and made us feel valued as clients.
Overall, Ashlan exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend her for any photography needs. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor make her a joy to work with!
