Golden hour family session at Courtice Beach

Durham Region Luxury Family and Newborn Photography

ONTARIO FAMILY,  MATERNITY, AND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Heirloom storytelling for every season — maternity, newborn, motherhood and beyond. Captured in a relaxed, film-inspired way that feels honest, emotive, and uniquely yours.

I believe the most meaningful images come from real moments, the kind you’ll want to remember years from now.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT PERFECTION

It’s about capturing your family honestly—which means my focus is on presence: letting you settle into the moment while I notice the details that really matter.

When you let go of the pressure to look perfect, the space opens for genuine connection. That’s when I can do what I do best—framing with intention, noticing the details, and telling your story with care. The result isn’t just portraits, but heirlooms that feel like you and your family.

Together, we’ll make thoughtful choices about location, wardrobe, and styling. These decisions set the tone of your session, and with intentional art direction, they elevate the imagery while keeping it grounded in what’s most important—your family’s real connection. Just as important is that these choices feel true to you—reflecting your family’s personality and rhythm, rather than following a template.

Every session should feel like your story, not anyone else’s.

I believe the most meaningful photos happen when no one’s trying too hard, just light, movement, and the people you love. That’s when your real story shines through, creating images you’ll want to hold onto for years to come.

Let’s create something timeless, together.

KIND WORDS

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley for our family photos, and I truly cannot say enough good things. From the moment we arrived at the shoot, she made us feel completely at ease, which is no small feat with our toddler.

Ashley has a real gift for capturing beautiful, natural moments. The entire session felt relaxed and fun, and every image is full of warmth, emotion, and stunning light. We now have the most precious memories preserved forever.

On top of the incredible results, Ashley was professional, organized, and prompt with communication and delivery. It’s rare to find someone so talented and also so lovely to work with.

If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about their work and their clients, look no further. This was such a special experience from start to finish.
