a little peek into what I’m envisioning for fall minis this year — swapping apples for satsumas 🍊🍂

this is easily my favorite time of year — even with the busy, busy calendar (thanks to you guys!!!) & all the other things filling our days, I’m trying to slow down and soak in every bit of it 🤎

𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 🤎

I’m Ashton — wife, mama of two, photographer, coffee enthusiast, & the person usually behind the camera around here!

something you may not know: photography isn’t my full-time job — I’ve worked in healthcare for the last 13 years and currently work as a practice operations coordinator. Photography is something I’ve built alongside my career, motherhood, & all the ordinary 𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑶𝑺 of life!

maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to photographing the ordinary, too —

the belly laughs
bare feet in the grass
tiny hands reaching for you
the quiet moments at home
the things you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone

I care much more about how a season felt than making everything look perfect!

so, if you’re new here — hi! I’m Ashton 👋🏼

& if you’ve been here a while, thanks for being part of this little creative corner of my life!

I turn 33 today, & I think this next year deserves a little more documenting, too ✨

the kind of summer evening you wish you could keep forever!!

poolside laughs with the Sprinkle family to the moments around their home; the perfect little snapshot of their family in this season of life!

I promise I photograph more than just maternity 🤍

lately, though, my feed has been filled with growing families, mamas, & baby bumps—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! there’s just something so special about this season of life. the anticipation, the excitement, the quiet moments before everything changes… it’s an honor to preserve those memories, & it’s a chapter I’ll never get tired of documenting!

3 years of photographing Ryan & Drew, & somehow each session is even sweeter than the last!

watching couples become families is my favorite part of this job, but the friendships that come from it are just as special. forever grateful for clients who become friends!
