About
My goal is to capture my client's most important moments in their lives through a series of images that they can look back on time and time again. Whether they're senior portraits, engagement photos, or family photos, each shoot is unique to the client I'm shooting for; I want them to feel they can truly open up in front of the camera and be their most authentic self.

Ashton makes it so easy to relax, feel comfortable and is just awesome to be around and work with. She did my boudoir shots and came up with tons of poses, didn’t make it feel uncomfortable and was super sweet and professional. Great pick of a studio as well, I absolutely loved the experience and would recommend to other women considering doing a boudoir shots. Thanks, Ashton, you are awesome!

Bravo! Phenomenal job! We asked for a few couple’s photos that “embodied” our relationship here in Texas and we got spectacular work! Ashton worked with us during the video call, was very communicative and responsive to our goals, and she gave us confidence that what we were looking for wasn’t too unrealistic. We arrived on site and went straight to work without the rush. There was no urgency (we were working with golden hour) but we felt that Ashton had everything under control. In other words Ashton made us feel that time wasn’t working against us even though our session lasted an hour and a half. She was very patient with a “let’s try this” attitude. We’re very happy with the results! Contact her and see for yourself. She’s really good!
Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Ashton was awesome!! She took my engagement pictures with my fiance and she was perfect! She told us exactly what to do and how to stand. She was very familiar with the locations that I chose and knew the good spots for amazing pictures. Ashton was very personable and asked a lot of questions about our wedding process. She did an amazing job editing the pictures and we are so thankful to have our engagement pictures done by her!!

Ashton was wonderful! Doing bridal photos was a last minute decision on my part. So, going into this with a half formed idea, I was looking for some input from my photographer as to where to take photos. Ashton was quick with her responses, gave me a few options as to where and when it came to the day of she was on top of everything. It was honestly a blast working with her and I look forward to finding more projects to include her in.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm flexible with most budgets. But just know that travel, editing, equipment, and shooting time all factors into the price!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually message with them back and forth, making sure I understand the kind of photos they're looking for and that they understand what my style is and if they're comfortable with it. If all goes well, we move forward to shooting!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've taken classes in high school and college concerning photography, as well as been mentored by another photographer and been to one of her styled shoots!
