Honest, artful, and full of feeling —
your family’s story, the way you’ll
want to remember it.

The image features congregants in a church, with some raising their hands and others holding musical instruments, engaged in worship.

This work is about more than how this season looks. It’s about how it feels to be in it. The small, in-between moments that often pass before we realize how much they matter.
When you invest in photography, you’re choosing to hold onto a season that won’t stay. These images are created with care and intention, so they still feel true years from now.
Investment begins at $700 + HST.
Each session includes a guided, art directed experience and a thoughtfully curated gallery of images. My focus is on presence, connection, and letting moments unfold naturally.
Every image is edited by hand to create a cohesive, heirloom-quality collection. These photographs are made to live with you, not just be looked at once and forgotten.

NEWBORN SESSIONS

The earliest chapter of your family’s story, photographed with an artful, documentary-meets-editorial approach. These sessions take place in the comfort of your home and unfold slowly — led by your baby’s rhythm, supported with gentle direction, and shaped by the natural light in your space.

I focus on honest connection over posed moments: the way your baby settles into you, tiny gestures you’ll want to remember, and the quiet atmosphere of those first weeks. Every photograph is made with intention, creating a collection that feels elevated, timeless, and deeply personal — heirlooms your family will grow into for generations.

FAMILY SESSIONS

Family sessions with me are less about stillness and more about presence. We slow things down, settle in, and let your family move naturally together. These aren’t traditional portraits. Sessions are relaxed, child-led, and focused on connection, with gentle guidance so nothing feels forced.

I pay attention to the moments you’ll want to remember later. The playful chaos, the quiet in-between pauses, the way your children move toward you without thinking. These are the details that end up mattering most years from now. A glimpse into their childhood, and your place at the centre of it.

MATERNITY SESSIONS

A quiet, thoughtful way to honour this chapter — not just the shape of your belly, but the way you settle into these final weeks. These sessions move at an easy pace, guided by connection and simple moments rather than poses. Whether it’s just you, you and your partner, or your family together, the focus is on capturing how this season truly feels. The result is a set of images that are honest, artful, and meant to be held onto for years to come.

MOTHERHOOD SESSIONS

A quiet, intentional way to hold onto this season — the closeness, the little hands reaching for you, the moments that happen without planning. These sessions are shorter and more intimate than a full family session, centred on the connection you share in the everyday. Whether you’re curled up at home or moving through your routine together, the focus is on honest, artful storytelling that feels elevated, natural, and true to where you are right now.

THE MOTHER COLLECTIVE

The Mother Collective includes both a full maternity session and newborn session, created with the same relaxed, connection-led approach at the heart of all my work. We begin by documenting the quiet anticipation of your final weeks—the softness, the presence, the way everything is about to change.

Once your baby arrives, I return to your home to photograph those first tender days exactly as they unfold. The light in your space, the small details, the early rhythms you’re learning together—these are the moments that shape the beginning of your family’s story.

You’ll receive two curated galleries of hand-edited images, each guided with gentle creative direction and designed to feel effortless. Together, they become one cohesive narrative — an heirloom chapter of your motherhood journey, preserved with care and intention.

Ashley is incredibly talented, creative, kind, and welcoming. It was truly a pleasure working with her. I really love her photography style. Just feels very warm and cozy. During our shoot, she offered thoughtful guidance while also encouraging us to be authentic and relaxed. She did a wonderful job capturing us being ourselves. I can’t recommend her enough and am already looking forward to our next photoshoot!

I’m so thrilled I finally found a photographer who captures our family so authentically. I usually hate having my photo taken, but Ashley made us feel comfortable the moment she walked in, so much so that I honestly forgot the camera was even there. Even with all the chaos and our 3-year-old not in the best mood, she never rushed us or told us how to stand or smile. She simply followed along and captured the most beautiful, real moments together. I absolutely love Ashley’s style, and the final gallery was pure magic. I can’t wait to work with her again. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and so easy to work with. Truly a gem.

Ashley is amazing! I had a motherhood session done with her & she was so kind & patient with my daughter through the whole session. Her editing style is SO beautiful & she truly captured the special connection between my daughter & I so effortlessly. She is amazing at her craft. Highly recommend Ashley for any photos you are looking to have done.
Claudia
Ashley is a master of her craft! Not only did she make me feel comfortable behind the camera, her passion and creativity made the entire photoshoot a dream. As someone with zero modelling experience, I can say that Ashley captured candid and beautiful moments with ease. I didn’t know I could look so beautiful!
Rebecca
Loved working with Ashley! She has a great style of photography - documentary/candid photos. Communication was excellent leading up to the photoshoot. She provided Pinterest boards for photo style and outfit inspiration, which was very helpful. She worked very well with my kids, keeping them engaged and cooperative (which is no small feat!). We are very happy with the photos we’ve received - they will be lifelong treasures!!
Sabrina
My husband, daughter and I did a photoshoot with Ashley a few weeks ago. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience - Ashley made us feel immediately at ease and was super encouraging. The shoot was set up beautifully with the perfect props. We received our photos promptly after the shoot and were so impressed with the quality and overall vibes. As people who don’t feel particularly photogenic, the pictures turned out better than we could have ever expected!
Becky
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.

Ashley's work is nothing short of spectacular. From coordinating the shoot, shoot day and of course the gorgeous gallery, the whole process exceeded our families expectations. I am so grateful for the recommendation I received to book with Ashley and can definitely see her being out go to photographer in the future. Thank you so so much!
Gurlynn
Ashley is truly amazing. She made the entire experience feel calm, natural, and so comfortable, which means everything when you’re taking photos with your little one. She was so patient and gentle, and I never felt rushed or stressed. The photos she captured of me and my baby are absolutely beautiful and so emotional. They feel real and full of love, not posed or forced. She has such a gift for capturing connection and the little moments that matter most. I’m so grateful we chose Ashley and I would recommend her to any parent looking for timeless, meaningful photos they’ll treasure forever.
