Mother. Storyteller. Photos that feel.
Hi, I’m Ashley — a photographer, mother, and storyteller based in Durham Region.
I create honest, emotive images that feel like they already belong in your family’s story — timeless, imperfect, and full of life. My work is rooted in the quiet beauty of everyday connection—the rhythm of childhood, the softness of motherhood, and the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. I’m not here to direct a performance. I’m here to witness what’s already true, and preserve it with care.
Creating has always been at the core of who I am. I’ve worn many creative hats over the past decade — photographer, designer, art director — but storytelling through imagery is the thread that ties it all together. From my early days capturing products, toys, food and interiors, to building a career in lifestyle and brand photography, my journey has always been passion-led.
These days, my life is deeply rooted in motherhood and the beauty of home. That rhythm influences everything I create. I’m drawn to the little things: the way your child rests their head on your chest, the comfort of a home filled with light, the quiet connection between a family simply being together.
Alongside my work as a family and motherhood photographer, I’m also an art director, designer, and co-owner of The Photo Bus Booth, a unique vintage-inspired photo booth business I run with my partner, Mitch. We share a love for old Volkswagens and nostalgic details, which I often incorporate into my sessions when I can.
Outside of photography, I’m happiest in the kitchen cooking or baking something new, thrifting vintage furniture (especially '70s pieces), or watching a good season of Top Chef or Survivor. Music and live shows have always had my heart!
Life is full, creative, and constantly evolving — but I feel endlessly lucky to document the beauty of life as it is.
If you’re drawn to imagery that feels nostalgic, a little raw, and filled with meaning — you’re in the right place.
