Hi! I’m Ashley.

I live in Oshawa with my two little wild ones and my partner Mitch, who also works in photography. Most of our life is a mix of snuggles, pet hair, snack crumbs, and very strong coffee.

MY WHY

These days, my life is deeply rooted in motherhood and the beauty of home life, and it influences everything I create. Like so many mothers, I get caught up in the routines and the never-ending list of things to do, and I sometimes forget to pause and realize that I’m living the life I once dreamed about.

Motherhood is such a tricky season… you’re always waiting for it to get easier, while at the same time knowing these days won’t last forever. That tension is what inspires my work.

In every session I do, the mother is always the star. She deserves to feel seen and beautiful in the world she’s created.

My sessions are intentionally relaxed and unhurried. What matters most to me is creating an environment where everyone especially the mother can simply be themselves.

This work is part art, part memory, and completely personal. I’m so glad you’re here, and if I get the chance to tell your story it will be an honour.

THE CREATIVE PATH THAT BROUGHT ME HERE

I’ve worn many hats over the past decade—photographer, graphic designer, and art director. But storytelling has always been the thread that ties everything together.

I began documenting everyday moments with my camera as a child, while also exploring creativity through Photoshop. That passion led me to study graphic design and art direction, where I learned how to channel my creativity into a career. After graduating, I spent more than 10 years in the industry as a commercial product and lifestyle photographer, planning, shooting and editing professional photo shoots for Spin Master. I worked closely with babies, children, and families throughout my time there—long before I had children of my own. That path eventually led me into art direction, where I could combine all of my creative strengths.

Currently, I’m grateful to be focusing on my own photography, as well as the business I co-own with my partner and fiancé, Mitch The Photo Bus Booth (we love anything nostalgic and Volkswagen!).

Though the thick of motherhood has put some hobbies on the back burner, I still love cooking and baking, thrifting vintage home décor and clothing, crafting, fitness and nutrition and of course, simply spending time with my family and pets at home.

Below is a little glimpse into the last 5 years of our lives.
