About
Hiring a photographer is an investment — in your time, your memories, and the way your story is captured.
You can roll the dice with someone who’s just ‘good enough,’ or you can get it right from the jump with me.
Hi my name is Ashley Barker. I have been a professional photographer exclusively for 18 years, and it truly is a labor of love. I have a degree in photography. I've worked with dozens of magazines, your favorite brands and actors, shot over 20 magazine covers, shot out of dozens of helicopters and many magazine features, but above all I treat ever client with as much care and attention as the next.
My style is stunning, modern, candid & editoral. I love the in-between moments, authentic photography. Don't get that confused, my style is very curated and styled. I offer direction when you need and hands offs to capture those in-between moments when you don't.
I always try my best to add as much value to every shoot. You will always walk away feeling like we did the absoulte best we could, with stunning images that represent you or your brand authentically and for families, weddings and couples, timeless art you can enjoy for decades to come.

Working with Ashley for our engagement photos was one of the best decisions we made. She made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and her eye for detail is unreal. Every shot captured the love, laughter, and little moments between us that we’ll treasure forever. Not only are the photos stunning, but the whole experience was fun, relaxed, and truly memorable.
Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Fashion or editorial • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

Ashley Barker is a force behind the lens.Ive had the privilege of working with Ashley in both high-adrenaline adventure sports settings and more stylized urban environmentsand she delivers in every scenario. On our first project together in the backcountry of Japan, I watched her haul some of the heaviest camera gear through deep snow without missing a beat. Her work ethic is unmatched, and her commitment to getting the shot is relentless.Ashley doesnt just show upshe shows up prepared, focused, and all-in. Whether you're working in rugged conditions or need polished visuals in the city, she has the vision, versatility, and tenacity to execute your goals beautifully.Highly recommend her for any project that demands creativity, grit, and world-class results.

Ashley was beyond expectation! My fianc hired her to cover my bridal shower so it was a surprise. She was so professional and had such attention to detail. Capturing all of the important moments and everything in between. She delivered photos promptly 2 to 3 days after the event All with edits. In love with the final product and will be hiring her again for our future events !

I was honored to work with Ashley on several projects with Changing Tides Foundation, a global nonprofit organization. She is fantastic at capturing both fine art photography and action shots. She was super professional with incredibly fast turn-around and produced incredible imagery for us. I highly recommend her services.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In general, my prices are $600 for 2 hours and $200-$300 for each hour afterwards. All my clients get digital online galleries of all there selects delivered in under a week, 48 for events, 2 weeks for weddings.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It all starts with Why
I always like to start with a call. It's a great time to get to know the client and find out what they are looking for and why.
If it's family or couples session, I will consult you on what to wear, and discuss where and when.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to school for photography both after school in high school at my local college in Calgary, Alberta Canada. After high school, I went to a photography school called Western Academy of Photography and was awarded best lifestyle portfolio of the year. The following year I got my first magazine cover of Snowboarder Magazine, and interview in Snowboard Canada while funding myself as a bartender. In 2008, I was like damn, I accomplished all the blue ribbons I could ask for but I make more money bartendering. So I attempted to quit. Two months later, Oakley asked me to shoot some of there athletes in Japan, when i got back I had been asked to do 3 different 10 day magazine features with sports magazines. I quit my bartending job and have never looked back.
