I'm a small-town, North Carolina, photographer and full-time spaghetti enthusiast!  If I'm not behind my camera or computer, you'll be able to find me at the barn with my horses or in the garden - I'm pretty sure that I'm a wannabe plant lady at heart!

The blog is here to not only showcase our recent work, but also to be a resource for clients and other photographers. You'll find session and photography tips, style guides, and so much more! If there's something specific you're interested in, shoot me a message - I'd love to hear all about it!

I'm Ashley
