The most beautiful photographs are the ones that feel like you. Not staged or forced, but lived — tender, imperfect, and full of life. That’s the heart of the Artistrie Co. experience.
By working with a limited number of clients each year, I’m able to offer the kind of attention where nothing feels rushed and every detail is considered. My presence is calm and intentional, so you can stay immersed in the moment while I preserve it.

Made for You
I’ll step in with direction when it’s helpful, while leaving space for the candid, in-between moments that often become your favorites.

What to Expect
Signature Services
The moments you’ll remember most aren’t staged, they’re felt. A quiet exchange with your father before walking down the aisle. The laughter that spills out during toasts. The energy of everyone you love gathered together.
I keep my approach calm and unobtrusive, offering subtle guidance when needed but mostly letting your story unfold. With a limited number of weddings each year, I’m able to give each couple my full attention, anticipating the details others might miss.
The Experience: You’ll feel free to stay immersed in your day, while I quietly capture the fleeting moments that make it unforgettable.
"It was the care, kindness and love that Ashley poured into the entire experience that made the difference. The time, commitment, and experience she provided calmed our nerves, injected fun and silliness, and gave us BEAUTIFUL photos we will cherish for a lifetime."
Your engagement session is meant to feel more like a romantic date than a photo shoot... a chance to simply enjoy time together while I follow along as your “third wheel.”
I keep things relaxed and natural, offering just enough direction so you never feel stiff or over-posed. The result is a mix of timeless portraits and candid, in-between moments that reflect who you are.
The Experience: Think of it as an afternoon together, with me there to preserve the ease and intimacy you already share.
She’s thoughtful, creative, and able to capture the humanity of the people in her photos."
Boudoir has a certain magic... a blend of vulnerability and strength that feels transformative the moment it happens.
I’ll guide you in ways that feel natural, while leaving space for the unposed, effortless moments that often become the most striking. For some, these portraits are a gift; for many, they’re a reminder of confidence, beauty, and self-love in this season of life.
The Experience: The real gift is how you feel afterwards — celebrated, confident, and wholly yourself.
"This experience and these photos did what I was hoping they would do—they held up a mirror so I could see myself as I really am: as a beautiful person who contains multitudes, whose body tells my story and deserves to be loved in all its forms."
Additional Services
Families
Many of my clients return to me for family photographs — a way to continue telling their story as life unfolds. These sessions are about capturing the spirit of where you are right now: the joy, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments. I keep things relaxed and playful so everyone feels at ease, and the photographs reflect the love and connection that matter most.
Travel & Destinations
Some stories call for a new backdrop. I love photographing weddings and sessions beyond Chicago... from the mountains to the coastlines to enchanting European chateaus... bringing the same thoughtful, candid approach wherever your celebration takes you.
