‼️Guess Who’s Back??‼️
(How many of my elder millennials just started singing Eminem’s song?? You’re welcome 😉)

I’ve taken time off to focus on my personal life and full-time job… and honestly, I’m better for it.

But — I 👏 AM 👏 BACK 👏
Quite frankly, I miss creating memories for y’all.
I miss the relationships and the chats. I miss being proud of what we capture together.

So, buckle up for some info overload!

✅ Yes, I will be booking “Fall Rush” sessions. These will include:
🏝️ Beach, ⛲️ Downtown, and 🌳 a TBD green space setting.

❌ No, I will not be offering indoor Christmas themed sessions.

✅ Yes, we WILL have the opportunity to include *simple* Christmas props in our sessions listed above.

✅ Yes, I will be offering full sessions including (but not limited to…) Families, Children, Seniors, Branding/Headshots, Newborns, Milestones.

❌ No, I will not be offering studio sessions for newborns, 1st bday/smash, or otherwise.

✅ Yes, I will still be offering Lifestyle newborn sessions with an “add-on” of studio-style, posed portraits of newborns.

✅ Yes, I can provide outdoor milestone & smash sessions.

✅ Yes, I will provide a landing page style website with scheduling features

❌ No, the website will not be as fully involved as my previous site. I’m simplifying for time & sanity purposes.

✅ Yes, I will work on being more responsive to your messages.

❌ No, I will not respond to messages on every platform… I’ll be streamlining communication so it’s easier for me to manage without feeling overwhelmed and constantly missing/forgetting messages.

✅ Yes, I will offer weekday & weekend options for several session types when possible.

❌ No, I will not be able to offer as many openings and flexibility on bookings… full-time employment with two very involved teenagers will absolutely impact what I’m realistically able to schedule.

And MOST Importantly:

✅ YES, I am beyond excited and ready to be my patient, bossy, awkward-self with y’all again!!!

🩷 Heart-to-heart moment🩷
The amount of understanding, kindness, and support I received from so many of you while I took the last 1.5 years (mostly) off has been more impactful than you’ll ever realize. I am forever grateful!!

‼️So, if you’ve made it to the end of this novel‼️

🍎 Back-to-School info will be available Monday, August 3rd.

🎉 All other booking opportunities will be available by 8/15… hopefully earlier, but definitely by the 15th.

⬇️ COMMENT BELOW ⬇️ to be notified when the info is made available!

Can’t wait,
Ashley 🩷

‼️Important Announcement‼️

Happy Monday to everyone! I hope y’all are enjoying the sunshine…

As many of you know, I’ve moved into a full time position and am currently pursuing photography on a *VERY* part-time basis.

Important info to share:

- My website and schedule sites are no longer available. Booking with me can be done ONLY through email or phone.

- Availability is limited and reserved for mostly Saturday/Sundays, one weekend per month. Please consider that if needing a session!

- Currently, I do not plan to offer in-studio sessions. This is subject to change but indoor sessions are not offered at this time.

- I will still offer my usual Back 2 School and Fall-Rush sessions… other offers will be announced when they’re available.

Thank you guys for adapting and growing with me! Y’all are amazing. 🩷

Ashley

If you're worried about your newborn's untamable hair... DON'T.

Let it fly, loud & proud, exactly as it wishes. This phase will pass and you'll look back at these memories with starry eyes.

Love the moment you're in. Baby bird hair and all. ❤️
