This experience and these photos held up a mirror so I could see myself as I really am: as a beautiful person who contains multitudes, whose body has carried her through the most joyful and challenging moments of my life, whose body tells that story — my story — and deserves to be loved in all it's forms.

Words from the artist
As a photographer, I think one of the greatest gifts I can give to another woman is showing her how uniquely beautiful and special she is.
I believe it's incredibly important to treat ourselves with a great deal of kindness and respect.
Because at some point in the future —whether it be days, weeks, months or years— we're going to look back at this time in our lives and be so grateful for the person we are today.
Life is filled with beautiful, difficult, exhilarating, turbulent and wondrous moments; through it all, it's an invaluable lesson to learn how to recognize our own strength and to teach ourselves that we are truly enough exactly as we are.
It's my hope that these photos will capture who you are in this moment-in-time, no matter where that may be, and that you'll be able to look back on these photos with so much love for yourself.
If my work and approach resonates with you, it would be a pleasure to get to know you and discuss the possibilities of working together.

“I'd rate my boudoir experience 10000/10 - truly the most amazing and welcoming day. I have never felt more beautiful and you captured everything perfectly. I cannot stop looking at these pictures and will cherish them for the rest of my life.
I felt so safe, never felt nervous. You were calm and patient. You were great at directing me and the pictures turned out amazing.
These photos mean the world to me. It is so special to have captured a time when I worked really hard on my body before the wedding and to be able to have that forever is priceless."
"When I received the photos, I realized that these photos are living proof of the way I was feeling at the time.
I had just had my first baby and I started to see my body in a whole new light.
Women's bodies are amazing and we should celebrate that more! I'm grateful to have these photos to look back on and remind myself of that feeling!
I look at the photos and feel strong and beautiful. Thank you for doing this. It's so important for women to feel these things about themselves!"
“After struggling with body image throughout adolescence and then my body changing so much between three pregnancies, this was a much needed step toward being comfortable and confident in my own skin. The experience and photos made me feel beautiful and sexy.
You can trust Ashley for an incredible experience and to leave you with gorgeous photos that will be treasured forever.”
"I absolutely loved doing a boudoir session with you! I felt comfortable, pampered and beautiful.
I booked the shoot when I was 5 or 6 months postpartum. For me, it was a gift to myself that allowed me to make space for myself during the season of life I was in. I struggled a lot with postpartum depression and anxiety and doing this shoot led me back home to honor and love myself again.
You helped me feel amazing and get my after baby "mojo" back!"
You are helping women own the power that is their body and loving it! Not for anyone else but themselves! What you do is a gift and an act of resistance in the most creative and a beautiful form.
