A story-driven mix of lifestyle and documentary photography that’s authentic and timeless.

 

My photography helps humans document every life season for a lasting legacy so their memories don’t go extinct. (Like the dinosaurs!)

 

Oh, hey there friend!

I’m Ashley, a documentary + lifestyle photographer
and writer based in houston, texas.

I want to transcend generations. I don’t want to be a famous celebrity walking the red carpet in a beautiful dress or sitting next to Jimmy Fallon. I’m forever curious and a total question asker, so I’d probably end up interviewing him anyway.

My desire to transcend generations is through the photographs, words, art, and good that I leave behind as part of my own legacy here in our beautiful world. A legacy that I want to be intentional in creating and documenting.

I believe everyone’s legacy deserves to be documented and preserved for the future generations
- yours included.

I’m a COFFEE LOVER, a DINOSAUR FAN + NCIS OBSESSED.

These are three things I’m hoping to pass along to my future kids - along with my faith and my never ending hankering for Mexican food.

When I’m not writing or have my camera in hand, I love spending time with my people and making sure they know that they are so loved and that they matter.

I’m on a never-ending hunt for a really good cup of coffee and the best chips + salsa/guacamole/queso combination I can find. Have a favorite recipe, coffee shop or restaurant? I need to know!

Photos transcend generations so why not have some beautiful ones to pass on?

It’s easy to remember the big events in our lives, but the mundane days in between sometimes seem to be a messy, beautiful blur. That blur of moments is what makes up our lives - the good, the bad, and the in-between. I believe that every season of your life is a season worth documenting and remembering.

  • Document those cherished milestone moments.

  • Have photographs of the moments you didn’t know you needed.

  • See genuine interactions between you and your loved ones when you flip through photographs, reminiscing on stories and adventures long after they’ve taken place.
