Honest, artful, and full of feeling — these aren’t just photos. They’re your family’s story, told the way you’ll want to remember it.
Durham Region and Toronto Family,
Maternity, and Newborn Photographer
Images that feel like an heirloom — something to hold onto now, and pass down later.
Hi, I’m Ashley — photographer, mother, and storyteller.
Snack crumbs, baby giggles, messy rooms, big feelings — I’m here for all of it.
I believe the best photos happen when no one’s trying too hard. Just a little sunlight, a bit of movement, and people who love each other.
If you’re into that kind of thing — let’s make something good together.
What your session
will feel like
A session with me is slow, intentional, and rooted in ease—more like a quiet afternoon together than a photo shoot. I’ll guide you just enough, then step back to let your family’s rhythm lead.
I’m drawn to the relationship more than the pose: the way your baby reaches for your hand, the laughter you didn’t plan for, the softness of simply being together.
Whether your little ones are calm or full of energy, we’ll follow their lead—because that’s where the magic lives.
These are the moments that become heirlooms. Honest, a little wild, and full of feeling.

“We were absolutely delighted with our experience of getting family photos done by Ashley. Not only did she capture our family perfectly, she put all of us at ease. There was no forced feelings, poses or pressure, it was just pure fun and enjoyment while she captured us in our home with our daughters.
I’m so thankful to have these cherished memories of our girls at these young ages captured for us to look back on in years to come!! The pictures totally capture us in our element.
Ashley was a dream to work with and we are so thankful for these timeless photos that will fill up walls and photo albums for years to come ❤️.”
