My Goal as Your Photographer

An emotional connection to your images is my top priority. Years from now I want you to look back at your photos and truly recognize yourself, your loved ones, and the moment you were in.

I want you to remember how genuinely you were laughing, how you cover your mouth with your hand when you cry, and the way your eyes light up when you look at your partner.

My approach to photographing you is casual. I'm easy going which makes us both more comfortable around one another, and really helps you relax.

I’m worried because I’m really awkward in front of the camera.

No, you are not. You can take a beautiful photo! No one, in any of my photos, is a professional model, and a lot of them felt the same way you do. I'm a really easy going person and I will make you feel very comfortable. I let you be yourself, with just the right amount of direction to make sure you look awesome.

Here's what a few clients had to say about the matter:

"...Ashlene is quiet and great at sneaking around and taking those candid shots, but she is also a good director and was able to set up our portraits beautifully.”

"...Ashlene is confident, kind, and creative, and she made me feel so comfortable with her professional but very relaxed personality’."

"...We are a couple who is not comfortable in front of a camera, and we honestly forgot we were being photographed most of the day."

What can we expect to pay for photography?

Newborn sessions start at $495, and Goddess Sessions $525.

Weddings start at $3,650. It's really important for us to meet in person (or via Skype!), get to know one another, and discuss all the details of your wedding. Please get in touch!

What’s your approach to wedding photography?

I consider myself a visual storyteller. Your wedding is your personal story, and I want to document it as honestly as possible. My focus is on capturing the real events of your day as they unfold.

Brides tell me all the time that they didn't even notice me half the day, and that is exactly what I want.

Do you shoot with an assitant for weddings?

No. I am confident in shooting by myself, and as my client Katherine said: "Looking at the photos she captured, you would think she had a team of three."

How long do we have to wait for our photos?

For weddings, I deliver your final processed images within 5-7 weeks of your wedding. Goddess, portrait, and family photos are delivered within 3-4 weeks of the session.
