Ashley is always such a pleasure to work with - weve used her twice already since moving to Olympia in 2019 and I cannot say enough good things!!! She manages to capture the most stunning pictures of my family - no easy task with twins. We have used her for Christmas photos and also for the twins first birthday - hoping for many more occasions!!! She manages to make every photo she takes so magical and beautiful.

Ashley was amazing with my partner and his two boys. She was able to capture the unique and quirky personalities of each of the boys in photos that we will cherish for a long time. My partner's entire family was impressed by the final images. Oh, and did I mention she worked with us to go out early as the weather apps were alerting if us of an impending storm at our originally scheduled time?!?! We had back-up dates in case of rain, but she was totally on board when we asked if she was willing to meet early to beat the rain! So thankful we found her!

Ashley and Rob are absolutely amazing. Not only are they some of the nicest and coolest human beings, but their work exceeds expectations. All of our photos from our wedding were beautiful and captured our day perfectly but THE VIDEO..... that left me blubbering because it was so beautiful and even my husband started tearing up - which says a lot considering he didn't even cry at the wedding. Their work is top notch and working with them was so incredibly easy! We HIGHLY recommend Ashley and Rob!
