We hired Ashlee for a life style family shoot with our very shy, almost 3, year old daughter. Ashlee was wonderful! She was quick to respond to all communications and very pleasant upon our meeting. Ashlee took the time to get to know what type of photos we were looking for during a phone consultation and really offered up great ideas. At the shoot Ashlee was professional and quick! Which is important when you have shy little ones (and a husband who's not a fan of taking photos). Ashlee made our daughter laugh and captured her in some beautiful moments. The images were edited gorgeously with perfect lighting. We revived all of the images in great time. I would highly recommend Ashlee to anyone. I can not wait to work with Ashlee again. And I promise she's not paying me to say that! Thanks again Ashlee :)

From our first experience with Ashlee at Dark Forest Productions we knew we were in great hands. We had been looking for a wedding photographer for about a month at this point and just hadn't felt quite right with anyone that we had met. Then Ashlee called. Her background along with the pictures we had seen and of course her personality made us feel extremely confident going with her. And I'm so happy that we did! Ashlee did our engagement shoot about a month before our wedding (The timing was on us because my husband and I could not seem to get our selves together.) We had really wanted to use some of our photos at the wedding as decor and Ashlee made that happen! We love the photos that she took! The space that she met us at to get the photos taken was perfect, and Ashlee had all of these great ideas and places to put us. It was an awesome experience! Our wedding was the exact same. Ashlee got all of the shots that we wanted and many that I hadn't even thought of but will be so happy and grateful to have! We don't have the wedding photos back yet, but this is how confident that I am that we are going to love them! Working with Ashlee and Dark Forest Productions was a dream. My wedding was a high stress event and it was so wonderful that I never had to worry about the photos. I knew they were being taken care of and were going to turn out beautifully. Thank you so much to Ashlee and her team! We highly recommend them!

Ashlee was excellent to work with and made our family shoot a lot of fun and special for everyone....not an easy task! We had to reschedule based on the rain and she was flexible and met us at the San Antonio zoo to allow for an enjoyable fun photo shoot with a 3 and 5 year old and 6 adults :) I would recommend her for a family session any day!

Ashlee was very enthusiastic, thorough, and very easy to be comfortable around for the private photo session before our wedding reception. During the reception she was quiet, out of the way, but dedicated to getting the best shots. I'm so very happy that we hired her! I haven't seen the pictures yet but, based on her previous work, I know they'll turn out like a dream come true.

Ashlee was a very fun, kind, professional photographer. My husband and I hired her to take our wedding photos. She gave great direction, was very attentive to our needs, and made sure our experience was memorable and stress-free. She also was super flexible and took time to accommodate us without complaint. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    First and foremost, I always want the client to feel comfortable working with me. I do this by offering as much time I can to the client before we even get on set or to a shoot. Once contacted, I will answer any and all questions a client may have. I am available for an on person meeting to grab some coffee, a phone interview or even a meeting via Skype. If the client feels I am a good fit for their project, then we move along in the process. At that point, I will draft up a contract based on the clients needs. We will then review the contract and make any required revisions. From then on the collaboration process begins. Rather it's sharing a board on pinterest with what inspires you, or asking if you should wear the black boot or the red heels, I will work along side you every step of the way.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I went to NYFA in New York where I studied Cinematography and storytelling. I have eight years of film and photography experience from my time in New York. I have worked on a vast variety of different projects ranging from weddings to newborn shoots to red carpet media coverage to feature film work. All of these different facets of the creative spectrum have given me a unique skillset allowing me to easily adapt to any given situation.
