I'll never ask you do to something I wouldn't do...

Hey there, babes! I'm Ashley, a destination elopement + boudoir photographer based out of Oregon. I am a true PNW native, coffee connoisseur, amateur beer liker, and animal lover. I love to travel but am really a homebody, I love being your hype person but I am also an extroverted introvert. Like my identities, I am many things but I will always guarantee you're getting ME. Let's chat, I would love to capture your story!

... so i'll go first!

REACH OUT!

Imagine this, its 2007, I'm 13-years-old. I had just saved up all my money, did my research and I bought my first camera.
I LOVED that camera, it traveled all over with me, and did I mention it was pink?! I took some great, and awful photos with that camera, but over the years money, life, "reality" all set in and that camera, and taking photos all fell to the wayside. That little piece-of-sh*t voice in my head kept telling me that "I wouldn't be good enough", or there "wasn't enough room for me in the field"- which don't even get me started on the physical plus-size fears that came with that 🙄 but when I had burnt myself out working a 9-5 in higher education, it felt like the right time to finally choose ME.

So now here we are!
