Photography Educator I’m Ashley, and I am a 26 year old photographer currently serving the Charlotte, NC area. My photography journey started off with modeling for several years, so I have a unique skillset both behind and in front of the camera. My modeling experience allows me to help my clients let go and get comfortable posing during our sessions. I aim to capture images that translate a feeling of nostalgia each time a client looks back at their gallery. I specialize in senior portraits, influencer, and brand photography; however, if you need a picture for any reason, I can take it! I also have a senior influencer team where we partake in styled model shoots throughout the year.

THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE | THE BIG REVEAL 🍪🎄

A little Christmas magic with Nicole, Logan & Little Smith!

I’m SO excited to finally reveal our brand-new Gingerbread House Minis at The Little House! This is our very first year offering this setup, and it’s already become one of our most popular mini sessions of the season!

We started dreaming up this little gingerbread house back in JULY, and watching it come to life has been so special.

I have to give the biggest thank you to Melinda, the incredible owner of The Little House, for helping bring this vision to life! Her creativity, hard work, and attention to detail have made this little house more magical than I ever imagined. I’m so grateful to have her as a creative partner!

And of course, a huge thank you to Nicole, Logan, and Little Smith for being the absolute cutest models and helping me show off this sweet little setup! Little Smith was working WELL past his bedtime, so I think we owe him some overtime pay in Christmas cookies. 🍪

OUR MOST POPULAR MINIS ARE BOOKING FAST!

There’s something so nostalgic and whimsical about a life-size gingerbread house. It’s the sweetest setting for families, couples, and little ones to make Christmas memories!

How precious is the Bliss family?! It was so sweet to have them be the first family I photographed in my new studio. They really welcomed me to Charlotte when I first moved here, and having Paige’s continued support as I open The Gallery Rooms means so much to me. So grateful for this family and the chance to capture another season of their lives!

These are my Winter Sonata Christmas minis in the Conservatory, with a piano, snow-covered trees, beautiful exposed brick, tall arched windows, and indoor snowfall. Seeing families bring this space to life has been the sweetest part of it all.

FOR FAMILIES
Winter Sonata minis are photographed by me through ashnicolephotos - To view available dates, pricing, and session details, visit the booking link in that account’s bio!

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
The Conservatory is also available to rent for your own sessions! Book one hour for $95, multiple hours within the same day for $75 per hour, or an eight-hour day for $500. View availability and book through the Rooms page at the link in The Gallery Rooms | Mooresville Photo Studio ‘s bio.

Renters are responsible for setting up, cleaning up, and returning the room to its original condition, all within their booked time. Please plan your session time accordingly!

A little look at Fireside Gathering, one of the Christmas settings at my new studio, The Gallery Rooms, in downtown Mooresville. I wanted this room to feel warm and nostalgic, like gathering in a familiar home for the holidays.

Christmas minis are currently $100 off across all themes except Gingerbread. The sale ends soon, and the updated prices are already on the booking links. No code needed. Link in Bio.

And for my fellow photographers, this space is available to rent for your own clients’ sessions, too. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create here.

If you’re coming into a family session hoping your kids will stand still, smile on command, and cooperate the whole time…

I’m just going to gently reset that expectation right now.

That’s not where the good photos come from anyway.

If you want your session to feel easy (and your photos to actually feel like your family), here’s what helps:

Match your kids’ energy instead of trying to control it.
If they’re playful, we lean into that. If they’re shy, we slow things down. Forcing it almost always backfires.

Let go of the idea that everything needs to go perfectly.
Some of my favorite images come from the “in between” moments—when things are a little messy, a little chaotic, and very real.

Encourage movement.
Walk, swing them, tickle them, explore. Standing still and saying “smile” is the fastest way to make everyone uncomfortable.

Give yourself buffer time.
Getting there early makes a huge difference. You’ll feel calmer, your kids will feel it, and we won’t be rushing into anything.

And please don’t stress about behavior.
I don’t expect your kids to be perfect. I just need them to be themselves.

At the end of the day, you’re not going to love these photos because everyone was perfectly posed.

You’re going to love them because they feel like your life right now, that’s the part worth remembering. ❤️

Some engagement sessions feel less like “taking photos” and more like getting to disappear into a little adventure together for a few hours.

Kaitlyn and Joel were exactly that kind of session. The kind where nobody is overly worried about posing perfectly, where we can chase good light, climb fences, follow horses into fields, try weird creative ideas on a whim, and somehow end up making magic because everyone is simply present in the moment.

Those are always my favorite kinds of sessions.

I think the best photos happen when people are willing to play a little. To move around. To trust the process. To lean into the unexpected moments instead of trying to control every second of them. Sometimes that means windblown hair, dusty boots, laughing through chaos… and sometimes it means me standing way too close to large animals risking getting trampled for the shot. Worth it every time honestly.

There was something about this evening that felt straight out of an old film, wild, laid back in the best way. The kind of love that feels effortless to photograph because it already carries so much warmth on its own.

Kaitlyn and Joel, thank you for fully embracing the experience and trusting me creatively. I already know your wedding day is going to be such a good one, and I genuinely cannot wait to document it all.

P.S. go check your email for the full gallery you two 😍

Most people think good engagement photos come from being “photogenic.”

They don’t.

They come from how you approach the session.

If you want photos that actually feel like you, here’s what I always tell my couples:

Pick a place that makes sense for your relationship.
If you’d never hike in real life, don’t pick a mountain just because it looks cool. Go somewhere that feels like you.

Have something to do.
Walking, grabbing coffee, exploring, bringing your dog, anything that gives your hands and your energy somewhere to go. Standing still is when things start to feel awkward.

Wear something you don’t have to think about.
If you’re constantly adjusting it, pulling at it, or worried about it… it’s going to show.

Give it a minute to warm up.
The first part always feels a little stiff, and that’s completely normal. The best moments happen once you forget the camera’s there.

And honestly—just focus on each other.
You don’t need to “do” anything. You just need to be present together.

Because when you look back on these, you’re not going to care if everything looked perfect.

You’re going to care that it felt like you.

Ask any of the my couples, they’ll attest to this!
