Hi, I’m Ash!

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me and my photography. I LOVE pictures, deep connections, + mama earth. I’m nostalgic and love a good story. 

The camera is my tool of choice. I believe Black Lives Matter, love is love, no human being is illegal, and that we need to destroy the patriarchy and save the planet.

My hair has grayed dramatically since 45 was in office and many years in the world of disability parenting but amidst all the crazy out in the world, I am deeply grateful to be in the business of documenting love and connection. I witness so many moments of tender and loving care through this job and it gives me hope for a better tomorrow.

Photography had long been a hobby for me, and I’ve always treasured old family
photographs and the rich stories they carry with them, but it wasn’t until I became
a mother that I became obsessed with the need to preserve and remember each
phase and detail of my family life. Motherhood feels like this amazing,
never-ending process of watching my daughter grow, evolve and come into her
own, but I also mourn how quickly time disappears and wish I could savor those
moments with my baby (now 10!) just a little longer. But herein lies my passion for
photography. I can literally freeze moments in time!

Camera alongside, my life is mostly spent with my two favorite humans: my
partner and daughter. Mountains are our sacred place and thus my daughter’s
namesake. I am happiest in wild and beautiful places and you'll see that I lot in my art. I love to hike, camp, travel, and explore new places with my family and of course my camera too. Capturing people, the wonders of this marvelous planet, and how we all fit into this awe-inspiring world makes my heart sing.

Clients often say that their experience working with me is a fun, easy and
memorable family adventure, often in one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s epic
locations. I am a keen observer of life and can find the subtle beauty and emotive
connections – all while your family hangs outs and enjoys time together. I love
sharing this passion by documenting sacred memories and working with
wanderlusting, soulful, earth-loving, adventurous, intimate, fun and connected
couples and families.

Each stage of family life is so fleeting. I know I never feel like I have enough time, and the years seem to pass far too quickly, but there is a comfort in knowing my photography will continue to serve as a time machine transporting
me back to what I long to preserve and remember. I look forward to creating
treasured heirlooms and forever memories with you and your family!
