"I reached out to Ashley while rebranding my business, seeking photos that truly reflected this new chapter. I was a bit nervous, as it had been years since I’d had professional photos taken of myself. From the moment Ashley began directing me, I felt completely at ease—calm, relaxed, and fully present. The entire process, from our initial conversation about the shoot’s concept to receiving the final images, was nothing short of exceptional. Ashley’s clarity, responsiveness, and nurturing approach made everything seamless. When I saw the final images, I was absolutely blown away. They far surpassed my expectations, and as a fellow creative, I was initially apprehensive about seeing myself in this way. Ashley captured me with the perfect balance of softness, empowerment, and beauty. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you for making this such an incredibly positive experience. xx"
