Artfully captured imagery,
for those who appreciate the simple stuff.
Portrait + Wedding Photographer based in Topsail Beach, NC and Loudoun County, VA
We've all got a story to tell.
Man, that's cliche. It's true though, isn't it? The story. I am deeply and truly a romantic. Crayon flecks under fingernails. A quick grin. Wonder and nervousness. A hug and birds flying overhead. Anticipation - a reflective speech - moments that connect and transcend.
I'm all about the
everyday magic.
...highlighting the in-between. Honoring and celebrating what you have. Letting the "shoulds" go. Embracing the here and now.
My goal is to provide you with images that feel
...like you
...like your family
...like the love you share
...like the memories you're making.
It's all a part of your story
and we're going to honor it.
I'm a nature-lover, explorer, mom of three wild little boys + rescue hounds, military spouse, educator, naturalist, history buff, live-music junkie, creator and feeler. Photography has been a creative outlet of mine for ages - a way to highlight beauty in the simple stuff - a way to document life as it unfolds. I can't wait to capture the beauty of yours.

I can't begin to tell you the joy Ashton has brought this mama's heart during this season of our life. We have had many professional pictures taken of our family over the last two decades, and her work has far surpassed that of my wildest dreams. She managed to capture the essence of each individual child's personality in every single photo. The artistic angles and colors are nothing short of stunning. I simply do not have enough words to sing her praises but please know that she is gifted beyond belief.

For Mother’s Day, my daughters gifted me a family photo session with Ashton. We had THE BEST experience with her! We are a big family…three generations including 3 grandchildren under three. Ashton was fantastic - she’s patient, creative and engaging. She put us all at ease immediately and our family photos are INCREDIBLE! With the sun setting on gorgeous NC beaches as a backdrop, she captured our giggles and hugs and family bonds. The photos are so natural and perfect. I will treasure these pictures forever!
"THE PHOTOS ARE SO NATURAL AND PERFECT. I WILL TREASURE THESE PICTURES FOREVER."

I feel like I have known Ashton for a lifetime. My family has done two sessions with her now. Her natural “go with the flow” ways made me absolutely love her style. Her style is more in tune to you, not just the poses. Her work leaves me speechless every time! The way she captures such sweet and special memories, in the most perfect way is like no other.
"Her work leaves me speechless every time."

I was unsure about taking maternity pictures and I’m so happy I did. the photos are ones we are going to treasure forever and we cannot wait to hang them in our house. We are new to the area and did not know her prior to our session but it was as if we’ve been friends with her forever due to how comfortable she made us feel the entire time. She also helped me pick mine and my husbands outfits out! Highly recommend booking with her!
