Ashley’s photographs truly capture the magic of childhood. I love the brilliant colors, the playful style, and her ability to catch those moments that pass so quickly. My children have enjoyed their sessions because Ashley allows them to lead the way while she “simply” documents their curiosity and their own unique sense of fun.

While children don’t seem to need much instruction, I found, as a mom who had not had my own photograph taken without my children since my wedding almost 15 years ago, I did! Ashley was great. She would show me how to stand or sit and I have to say, I had a ball. And I love my own pictures! – Now how many times do you really get to say that?!

Ashley took pictures of our daughter on the beach just before her 1st birthday and I can say we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She truly captured the beauty of our daughter and the happiness of our family. We know we’ll treasure our images for years to come.

Ashley’s DVD presentation of your photos will bring you to tears and her delivery of your order, so beautifully wrapped in paper and bows, will make you feel like it’s Christmas!

Ashley reached out to us when we had our second son and wanted to take some photos of him. She spent numerous hours at our house trying to get the “perfect shot.” She ended up getting many perfect shots, and we actually had a second session a few months later. Both sessions were great, and Ashley made us feel very comfortable. She is a unique and passionate photographer and has a true gift for her work. We can’t wait for the opportunity to use her again!

As an Esthetician and spa owner for seventeen years, I have made a career of helping women discover their beauty within and helping them to project that beauty in their everyday lives. This gift is rare and one that Ashley possesses. My sessions with her were incredible. She helped me to discover the child within that is sometimes too fearful to come out and play, and the woman that is sometimes too insecure to be sensual and confident. I love the finished product and have the portraits in my home. Whenever I pass them I am reminded to make sure that the woman that showed herself in those pictures doesn’t forget how powerful she really is. From my first meeting with Ashley to the delivery of the finished product, it was a truly unforgettable experience.

I love working with Ashley – both in front of the camera as a subject, as well as behind the scenes as a makeup artist. I love her work so much that I find it hard to want to put any other photographer’s work in my portfolio!

Ashley makes you feel so comfortable and at ease during a shoot. She captures the essence of the people she’s photographing. And the way she works with color is amazing! She has a way of seeing the beauty in people that is truly a gift. I love that she helps empower women through the art of self expression. I believe seeing ourselves through the eyes of someone else helps us understand ourselves better. Give yourself or someone you love the gift of being seen through Ashley’s eyes!

It was a pleasure to have Ashley Ward photograph my family. She captured the exact image I had my heart set on and envisioned above my fireplace, along with each one of my children’s individual personalities. Ashley made this a fun adventure for our family as we hiked around the lake, played in the leaves, and fed the geese. Thank you, Ashley, for taking such great care and time to make this experience so enjoyable for our family and for capturing wonderful photographs we will treasure forever.

I am Heath Petty’s mom and I want to tell you that the photograpy you made of my grandson absolutely took my breath. The photos are all so incredible! I can’t wait for the opportunity to purchase some of them. Each time I share the website proofs to anyone – the response is always the same … “she should enter these in a photo contest”!! WOW … I can’t express how proud I am of this baby boy and you have captured so much of his love and personality. Thank you so much for working with
my children and expressing your unbelievable talent with them!

Thanks again … I look forward to receiving my package!!
