I'm the person behind the camera
I'll guide you through the entire process
An adventure photographer by day, an event planner, location scout AND mother all by night. You’d think I’m joking right? I am not. My name is Ashley & I live in Portland, Oregon with my fiancé, 3 daughters, and a whole farm of animals. When I’m not behind the camera, planning, editing, or working on the farm - you’ll find me hiking, kayaking, or camping with my family. I LOVE the outdoors!
If you're wanting an intimate session & want to do it your way - I'm here to guide you through the whole process!

FAQ
Are travel expenses included?
If you're getting married local to Portland, OR not travel expenses will occur. All other locations within the USA and abroad are discussed and confirmed individually. For top destinations photography costs may be waived.
What if we don't want to legally get married on our elopement day?
That is absolutely okay and many couples choose to do the legal work on another day. We can create a ceremony set-up specifically for your photos. It's your day and you can plan it however you want. Legally it may also be easier if your officiant doesn't have to travel or do a bunch of hiking.

I started photography professionally in the spring of 2019, but have always been handy with a camera and artistically inclined.
