Hey Girl Heyyyy!

I’m not your average chick and I bet you aren’t either. I’m a spunky goofball, ADHD AF lady, with the humor of a high-schooler mixed with a little bit of dad jokes. Get me hopped up on Summer Moon coffee (a winter moon latte, plz) and I’ll get you HYPE!

I get more joy out of using my photography & video skills to help entrepreneurs than I got unwrapping presents as a 7-year-old at Christmas.

See why I put the EXTRA in extraordinary.

DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

Ashley's artistry, kindness, and strategic approach exceeded my expectations. She took the time to ask questions, get to know my brand, and genuinely bring it to life.

They Really Captured My Essence, Who I am, and what I do

I had won a session with Ashley and she gave me the option of photography or videos. And I chose video! Before I even got to the session, she was super nice and responsive when I had questions. Really appreciated that for my first video session.When I got there, she already had ideas for shooting and made the session so much fun. We did some standard shots and some fun ones too. She was down for whatever and also threw ideas.I just got the videos today and they were beyond what I was hoping for. They really captured my essence, who I am, and what I do.I cannot wait to post these around. Thank you Ashley! You’re the best!

I Loved All of The Shots We Got and Had a Blast Doing it

I had so much fun at Ashley's Awe Studio Reel day! It was such a great opportunity to collaborate with other business owners and creators. Ashley guided us through taking different videos to use on social media for our business. I loved all of the shots we got and had a blast doing it!

She Helps you Feel Relaxed and Confident

Ashley helped us capture behind the scenes photos and video for our workshop and she was a godsend! She showed up on time and in the energy of service and was so fun to work with. She captures SO MUCH content and got so creative with different angles and shots we will be using for social media, our website, and more! I think the best part of working with Ashley is her calm yet fun energy she brings to the photoshoot. She helps you feel relaxed and confident and so taken care of! Thank you Ashley for helping to capture our special event and grow our brand!

My Website Creator Was Impressed With The Quality

As a new business owner who has never needed to "brand" myself I was grateful to Ashley who seemed to understand what I needed even when I struggled to communicate my vision. I am not an inventive person by nature but Ashley was able to expand my ideas to create a much bigger list of options. Even though my resources for models was limited, Ashley still managed to convey a story and experience with props. I hate having my picture taken so she adapted the shoot to be pictures of me doing things instead of staging me in scenes. Best of all my professional website creator loved the pictures and was impressed with their quality and how they reflected my values as a postpartum doula. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and price. If I never need to re-brand Ashley will be at the top of my list.

Ashley Was on Top of Her Game

I really enjoyed the ease of getting this process going. I am a very busy entrepreneur with no time to spare. Ashley was on top of her game, produced beautiful images and was easy and fun to work with.
