Wayward + Wander Photography

A little preview of images for these two.
Sometimes a session is simply capturing a love story as it unfolds. With a little help prompting, I simply observe and capture the in-between moments.

I can’t wait to photograph your wedding later this summer! 🫶🏼

Round one of mini graduates.
Look, I can’t even describe how cute these little people are all dressed up for “graduation”. It’s beyond adorable 🥰

For those of you who missed the opportunity, I’m going to host one more day of these at the Mill Pond Elementary school next Friday! Woo!
Message me to book a spot ♥️

Hi, happy Friday!
Just a small reminder to parents of upcoming seniors that my summer and fall spots are nearly fully booked!
I know lots of parents are busy this time of year with the upcoming summer break, but now is the time to book. 🫶🏼

It’s so fun capturing their personalities, so make sure if they do sports, play an instrument, or do art, to let me know in advance so we can coordinate some action shots!

I would love to capture your upcoming senior, so please reach out to get them on my books!
- Ashley ♥️

I realized I’ve never properly introduced myself in the five years I’ve been behind the camera… so I figured now is as good a time as any.

I’m Ashley—the face behind the camera (and, if I’m being honest, usually a little awkward in front of one).

While I’m incredibly proud of the small business I’ve built and the joy photography has brought into my life, my greatest accomplishment will always be my three boys. My husband and I have been together for 13 years, and together we’ve built a life that seems like a dream. We built our home on the very property he grew up on, and there’s something incredibly special about watching our children make memories on the same land where he and his brothers once did.

When I’m not behind the camera, I work part-time in a dental office as a CDA and dental radiographer. On my “off” days—between photography sessions and running my boys from one sport to the next—you’ll usually find me outdoors. My favorite days are made up of slow mornings, hot coffee, open windows, warm sunshine, and the sound of children’s laughter in the distance… but truthfully, my favorite days of all are often the ones with no plans at all.

I’m someone who will almost always say yes to an adventure, and I think that’s part of why I’ve fallen so deeply in love with photography. Every session is different. And my spin on photography is genuinely crafted from my heart. Every challenge is a chance to learn, grow, and become better at what I do.
I’m here for the ride—and I hope you’ll come along with me.

Hello all, happy Saturday 😊

This is my fifth year photographing so many beautiful families, seniors, newborns, weddings and all that in between.
I can’t wait to get started on my lineup this year!

This is a friendly reminder to get on my books, as for the rest of the year I have limited space available. I have 7 weddings, 12 seniors, 10 families and my mini lineup already booked between now and October, I think I’ve counted five open dates 🥲
I won’t be taking on half as much this year, my 7 month old keeps me busy (as well as my 7 and 9 year old).

If you’re thinking about a session for your senior, anticipated newborn, or even family portraits… Now Is the time to reach me 🙂 after I fill up, there is a waiting list with those that want a session if I happen to get a cancellation or rebook.

I very much appreciate you all ♥️
