Western Sky

I love getting to know the families on the other side of my camera and do everything I can to make our time together an enjoyable experience.

If you are easygoing, kind, and love doing life with your people, you are my kind of people.

I'm Ashley

Hey!

KIDS THAT ARE UNABASHEDLY THEMSELVES AND TINY BABY FEET ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO PHOTOGRAPH.

My photography style is centered around the small moments with the biggest impact, creating a comforting and relaxed atmosphere, and is constantly being inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

that's where I come in.

No matter how crazy life may get, you'll want to be have a way to look back on those little things we tend to take for granted.

I’m right there with ya.

While you’re making mental notes of what kid is going where this week, prepping dinner after a long day, and trying to remember the last time your toddler had a bath (let alone when you had a shower, am I right?), it’s easy to forget to slow down and memorize those little moments.

You’ve heard it said over and over - kids grow up so dang fast.

Some of My Favorite Things

Exploring the beautiful PNW

my happy place!

Being anywhere near a body of water; river, lake, ocean - I don't discriminate!

Weston + Skylar
Okay, they aren't "things" of course; but they're my world (and the root of the business name!)

Quiet mornings with coffee, a good book, and a fire going

Some of My Favorite Things

Anything with a teal blue color (bet you couldn't guess that one...)

Fresh flowers on the counter Wax&Wool candles
Cinnamon rolls + ice cream
Macarons from Girl Loves Cake

Photos! Duh.
Prints, photo books, gallery walls - can't have too many displays!

Catching an M's game

let's work together!

Congrats! You made it through getting to know me.
Thanks for making it this far - writing about myself is hard :)

did we just become best friends?

I’m a big believer in not only choosing a photographer whose images you love (and that you can visualize your own family in), but choosing someone that you can relate to and connect with beyond their photos.

convinced we'd be a good fit?
