You deserve someone who gets it
This season is passing faster than you think.
You have hundreds—maybe thousands—of photos on your phone, but somehow the years still feel like they’re slipping by. They’re growing, changing, becoming more themselves, and so much of it gets lost in the shuffle. The little things you want to remember—their laugh, their quirks, who they are right now—deserve more than a place on your camera roll.
That's exactly why I do this work. Hi, I'm Ashley. I've spent 8 years helping families like yours stop waiting — and start having something beautiful to show for this chapter.
WHAT I BELIEVE
"A photo that lives in a folder is a photo that doesn't get seen. Your family deserves better than that."
WHY IT MATTERS
I'm not just a photographer. I'm the person who makes sure it actually happens.
Your family portraits shouldn’t end with a gallery of images sitting on your computer. From our first conversation, I help you plan an experience that feels personal and intentional—from choosing what to wear and where we’ll photograph to designing artwork that fits beautifully into your home. After your session, we’ll sit down together to choose your favorite images and decide how you want to enjoy them. The goal is simple: to take you from “we’ve been meaning to do this” to seeing the people you love most beautifully preserved on your walls.
I'm based in Batavia and serve families throughout the Buffalo/Rochester area. Every session includes an ordering appointment because beautiful images deserve to live somewhere better than a hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Why print products?
In our fast-paced, rapidly changing world, children and families need happy reminders of how important they are. It is proven that families who display photos of their children create higher self-esteem in their kids and a better sense of belonging. Additionally, since technology is constantly evolving, without print products we could end up with no record of our children's childhood or our images trapped on some outdated device we can't access (floppy disks, anyone?). We won't let your images be lost, but instead, preserved in products crafted to last for generations.
Question 2: What should I plan to invest?
Portrait sessions begin with a $190 creation fee. This fee covers the photographer's time and talent and does not include any products or images. The amount you choose to spend on products will vary widely based on your preferences. Most families spend $1500-3500 at the ordering session, with some spending upwards of $6500.
Question 3: Are digital files included?
All products are separate from the creation fee. Printable digital files are not for sale, however low-resolution, social media sized digital files are included as a gift with every print purchased.
