Hi, I'm ashley!
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Frankfort, Indiana, serving couples and families throughout Lafayette, Indianapolis, Carmel, Zionsville, and Central Indiana. I've been married to my best friend since 2007, and together we're raising three amazing kids who keep life busy, loud, and full of joy. Being a wife and mom has taught me just how quickly life changes—and why preserving the moments that matter is so important.
My journey behind the camera began over 16 years ago with the birth of my first niece. What started as a way to capture precious family memories quickly grew into a passion for telling people's stories through timeless photography. Since then, I've had the privilege of photographing weddings, engagements, seniors, growing families, maternity sessions, newborns, and countless milestones that deserve to be remembered.
One of the moments I'll never forget was being asked to photograph the wedding of a fellow photographer early in my career. Their trust meant the world to me and reminded me that photography is about so much more than beautiful images—it's about preserving memories that can never be recreated. That same gratitude and responsibility is something I carry into every session today.
My approach is simple: create a relaxed, enjoyable experience where you can be fully present while I capture the genuine moments unfolding around you. I'll offer gentle guidance when you need it, step back when moments happen naturally, and focus on creating timeless images that feel authentic to who you are.
When you book with me, you're not just hiring someone to take pictures. You're choosing someone who will celebrate alongside you, pay attention to the little details, help you feel at ease, and care about your memories just as much as you do.
I believe the best photographs come from genuine connection. That's why I take the time to get to know my clients, understand what's most important to them, and create an experience that's just as memorable as the images themselves. Years from now, I want you to look back at your gallery and remember not only how everything looked, but exactly how it felt.
Whether you're planning your wedding, celebrating your senior year, welcoming a new baby, or simply wanting to remember this season of life, I'd be honored to tell your story.
Testimonials

“Your photographer is probably one of the most important decisions you make about your wedding. Ashley & Grace captured every moment of our wedding day perfectly. They knew exactly what I wanted, without me really having to tell them. They captured all of the important shots but were never in the way. Easy to work with and super fun! They did not make our day stressful neither did they demand anything from us. I highly recommend!”
