I think there’s something magical about getting to know someone and having that connection, and I breathe that into my photos. I'm all about capturing personalities and special moments, those photos are just more real and memorable. I've photographed many families, seniors and other portraits in the Fox Valley Area and have accumulated a steady 5/5 star review over the years.

I've been a professional photographer for over 10 years and have been in the photography industry for more than 15 years. I've worked on various projects including portraits, a traveling exhibition of my trip to Alaska, and have even started a book. And I've been published numerous times in global magazines.

I'm laid back, enjoy making people laugh, wear crocs everywhere, and love DIY-ing everything. I'm super bubbly and love meeting new people. And I can't wait to meet you! Let's start chatting and planning your photo adventure.

I'm married and a bonus mom. I love love (did I say love?), spending time and creating memories with my family.
We spend a lot of time playing board games, venturing outdoors and going on road trips. We are very intentional with our time together, because each day is a gift and we want to live it as such.

I have traveled to many places all over the world, and I am always planning the next big adventure!
I actually traveled my very first trip alone when I was 21 years old to Alaska. Ever since, I have had a strong desire to visit more places. Since then I have gone back to Alaska, went to Italy, Hawaii, Denmark, Canada, Colorado, the Smoky Mountains, Maine and many places in between.
I am drawn to visiting non-touristy locations (although sometimes you have to do touristy things while on vacay). And honestly the best part of traveling is probably the food.

I am obsessed with coffee! I love spending a few minutes alone each morning drinking my coffee and just relaxing. In the summer, I love having my coffee on the porch and watching the sunrise.

My favorite thing to pair with a cup of java is a cannoli. And it can't just be any cannoli because my trips to Italy have spoiled me rotten. If you haven't had an authentic cannoli yet, you need to! It will change your life forever.

I love, no no... I'm obsessed with sunflowers! I love spending time in my garden and with my flowers. I usually plant 6-10 different types of sunflowers each year. My favorite color is yellow and so it only seems right that I chose the happiest yellow flower I know, the sunflower, as my favorite. But not only that, they remind me of my Grandma Bonnie. She has always loved sunflowers and every time I see them I think of her.

I have a twin, Holly, and we're BEST FRIENDS! Even though we live kinda far apart, we still are super close. She is my rock and has been my best friend from day one. I'm super blessed to have her for a sister. We don't have any of those super cool twin powers, but we do make each other laugh a whole lot.

If you know me at all, you know that I could eat ice cream every day for breakfast. I once had an ice cream contest with my grandpa to see who could eat more ice cream cake. We ended up tying and had terrible belly aches, but it was worth it.

One of my favorite kinds of ice cream is Ben & Jerry's. I took a tour of the factory in Vermont. At the end they gave me two samples of ice cream and after I finished those, I went to the gift shop and bought another scoop. Because I can't get enough.

My Favorite Things

When I first started looking and figuring out what I wanted for my senior pictures, I knew I wanted them to be unique. I found Ashley and saw that she takes a lot of her seniors pictures in Door County. That is where I love to spend my free time and thought it would be the perfect place to express my true self. She was such an easy, outgoing person to work with, and all throughout my session made me feel so comfortable. She did such a good job on making me laugh and feel like myself that it was such a fun experience. I am in love with the pictures, and it makes me want to do it all over again!

I love the senior modeling team! At least once a month I have something to look forward too: hanging out with my girls, shooting a really unique, and doing other things like making cookies! Each and every time I get my photos back I am amazed! Ashley makes me feel so comfortable and just has a way of boosting your confidence... I am so grateful I had the opportunity to join the senior modeling team as I have got to meet new people, receive tons of beautiful/unique pictures, and feel better about who I am! Thank you Ashley for all you do and all the hard work you put into the senior team for us! We ❤️ you!

Ashley is such an amazing photographer who makes you feel for comfortable in front of the camera, she notices when you’re lacking confidence and has the ability to pick you up at any moment. Prior to booking with Ashley I reached out to other photographers and no one besides Ashley seemed like they wanted to build a connection and truly get to know me and capture who I am in pictures. It felt like she wanted to make this more than just taking photos because it’s a tradition which is something that I personally loved. I would recommend Ashley to anyone who asks because she makes anyone and everyone feel included and comfortable.

Ashley was wonderful to work with for my daughter’s senior pictures. We added a mini family session as well. She made getting family pictures fun! We love all the pictures and we look forward to working with her again for our future senior in a few years!

I never realized how important family pictures were to me until I had a family of my own. Better yet is having an amazing photographer, Ashley, to capture those moments! The kiddos had a blast playing games at our recent session which makes pictures so much easier on everyone. Ashley will definitely be our photographer of choice in the future. She is amazing at what she does!

I am on the senior modeling team and throughout these few months i’ve been on this team, I have had SO much joy in my mental health. For one who struggles with mental health, joining this team has helped me improve in it. I have found not just two girls who I can now call some of my bestfriends, but I have found another adult that I can lookup to/trust. After every session I sit all day waiting for the pictures to come back because of how amazing I know they will be. If anyone is looking for someone to book with that they want to just be themselves… Ashley IS THE ONE TO GO TO❤️❤️

I wanted something unique for my senior pictures. Door County is my family’s happy place and I was obsessed with the idea of doing my senior pictures there. We found Ashley online and loved her pictures and vibe. She was awesome with communication and constantly in touch with us during the weeks leading up, so we could make this exactly what I wanted. She loved the idea of Door County and was going to be there at the same time. It was meant to be! During the shoot, she was super helpful with poses and getting me out of my comfort zone to get amazing shots. She even got in the water with me waist deep for some of my pictures! It was overall an incredible experience, and the pictures were everything I could have asked for!

Having Ashley photograph my senior pictures was the best decision ever! She made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire night and picked the cutest location!

We recently did a family session with Ashley and she was so pleasant to work with. I was undecided between a session at our house or one outside and we left the decision up to the weather. Ashley was so flexible and was willing to wait until the day before to make a final decision. She did a great job capturing our son's smiles and totally went with the flow when he was squirmy beyond belief. We love how our session turned out and would recommend her to anyone!
