Hey there, I'm Ashton.

I'm a photographer based in both Topsail Beach, North Carolina and Loudoun County, Virginia. 
I specialize in earthy, artful, and natural feeling photographs of families and maternity, couples, and small weddings + elopements.
I'm an old soul who enjoys a healthy mix of war history and Bravo tv...
getting messy but also dressing up...
mountains, beach, and the desert 
I love to explore and travel. 

iT'S THE COOLEST THING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS AND BRING OTHERS HAPPINESS AT THE SAME TIME

Photography has been a creative outlet of mine since I was a kid. I picked up a little point and shoot when I was in middle school, but film photography is where I really fell in love. 

I loved how it made me see things with intention - light and angles. Hours in the darkroom. Trial and error. 

It's the coolest thing to be able to do this every day and bring others happiness at the same time. 

Even when I'm not doing a session, I'm always snapping something.

Topsail Beach and Northern Virginia are two lovely places to photograph!

I'm always excited about a travel inquiry and would be more than happy to create a custom travel package. When I'm already planning on being in another location for an extended period, I'll usually open a couple session times at no additional travel fee. Stay tuned for future dates and locations.

Ashton did a phenomenal job of capturing my family in beautiful authentic photos. She captures the delicate life style moments that you can celebrate for a life time. I spent months searching for a photographer and when I found Ashton’s page I was instantly in love with her photography style and instantly booked. She made us feel so comfortable and was amazing to work with. I am still stunned with how gorgeous my family photos came out. She is truly an artist and she helped capture a huge milestone for my family and couldn’t recommend her enough for the amazing work she did for us.
