Heirloom storytelling for the mothers who feel it all.

DURHAM REGION FAMILY & MOTHERHOOD PHOTOGRAPHER

Your family captured in a way that feels honest and artful, like the rhythm of your real life. These aren’t just photographs, they’re pieces of your story — the ones you’ll want to hold onto long after the moment has passed.

I’m drawn to the in-between moments, the light, movement, and quiet gestures that say everything without trying. My work is about preserving what’s real.

Let’s create something that feels honest, artful, and made to last.

Hi, I’m Ashley — Artist, Mother, and Storyteller.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT PERFECTION

It’s about capturing your family honestly—which means my focus is on presence: letting you settle into the moment while I notice the details that really matter.

When you let go of the pressure to look perfect, the space opens for genuine connection. That’s when I can do what I do best—framing with intention, noticing the details, and telling your story with care. The result isn’t just portraits, but heirlooms that feel like you and your family.

Together, we’ll make thoughtful choices about how to shape the light and atmosphere so it feels natural to you. With a background in art direction, I bring a careful eye to every detail — elevating the everyday without losing its honesty, so your moments feel artful and true to your family.

Every session should feel like your story,
not anyone else’s.
