Hi, I’m Ashley! I am a photographer based out of Lake Zurich, IL.
I am a mom to 3 young kids. I enjoy long walks around the lake, listening to music, and sipping on Starbucks. You may see me around town at Target or Costco, or running around to one of my kids sports. I love capturing family moments while creating a fun, stress free environment, so you get both beautiful memories and photos to last a lifetime. I am always up for an adventure during our time together!
I love using natural light to enhance the beauty that is you and your family without major retouching. I also make the process as stress free as possible. I understand that your husband probably doesn’t want to be here and your kiddos need to run around or dance between poses, so we will run and dance and take any quick re-adjustments as needed. I create a fun, safe environment for you to relax and enjoy. My goal is to capture your family as they are on the day of your session, imperfections included. When we allow the imperfections and everyone to be who they are, that is when we create those “perfect” images.
I focus on family sessions, senior portraits and professional headshots. I do not offer wedding photography. And at this time, I am no longer doing newborn shoots. If you are interested in another type of session that is not listed here, please reach out and we can discuss.
