Experience
"I highly recommend Ashton for your photography needs! I've been relying on her for creative shoots for over 6 years and she always delivers professional, well planned, and well executed service. She puts in effort to really understand your vision ahead of time, work with you to develop ideas, and comes prepared for the shoot. If you're like me and are sometimes not the most natural/comfortable in front of a camera, she gives great direction and suggestions for how to look best and is always so friendly! Additionally, I LOVE her editing style and she always has such a quick turnaround for getting the final finished photos back to you. Definitely book her for your next photoshoot!"

"I have worked with Ashton multiple times over the past 4 YEARS and she is the real deal. Even from her beginnings of creating her professional business she has always captured the most stunning photos and I've always felt she has captured me as myself and as an individual. This is a very important thing I look for as an actress, dancer and performer. She lets you show YOU while guiding you in order to capture the best moments. I have booked TV/Film, modeling and dance jobs from these photos. Most importantly she is kind, talented at what she does and makes you feel comfortable and encouraged. You will always be happy after leaving a shoot with her! (And of course you will also walk away with the best photos)."

"Ashton captured my branding photoshoot and in short, it was the best decision I made for my business re-brand. She blew me away with her entire creative process; from the initial inquiry response to photo delivery. The amount of time and effort that Ashton put into brainstorming a photoshoot concept and then curating that concept into a tangible set up was almost as mind blowing as her level of creativity. Not to mention, during the actual photoshoot, Ashton was so fun to be around. She was so kind, welcoming, and you could tell she was truly inspired by her work, and that's what's going to get you the photos you could only dream of. I am beyond happy with my branding photos; they capture me and my brand's personality to a tea and it has been SO exciting using them for my website. If you're considering hiring Ashton, whether it's for fun portraits or business portraiture, DO IT."

"HIGHLY Recommend. She makes sure you are going in well prepared and once you are at the shoot she has done her research on your photoshoot goals. She also has a great turnaround time! But most importantly, Ashton makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera!"
