More about Ashley J....
What do you love about your job?
Whether its capturing photos of a brand new family or a sweet exchange between siblings I always feel privileged to document, preserve and create memories for those individuals. Knowing the memories I create will be cherished for lifetimes is what I love most.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have photographed newborns, families, children, teens, couples, individuals. I truly love that each session I do is a different experience because every family or person is different. When working with children I do not just give directions, I take the time to find out interests and create a fun and environment. To get natural expressions you need to create real experiences. I often involve simple games or give them a challenge or task. They often relax a bit when they have something else to focus on. Most importantly I always make the sessions fun, even for adults portraits!

A fun fact about this photographer
I love volunteering my time to taking photos of shelter animals. It helps them look their best and get homes on the animal adoption websites!
