For over eight years, I’ve specialized in maternity, newborn, and family photography, capturing the tender, fleeting moments that define early parenthood. From the tiniest toes to the warm embrace of a growing family, I believe these memories deserve to be preserved with heart, honesty, and timeless beauty.
My sessions are relaxed, connection-focused, and guided by a “less is more” approach that allows the emotion and story to shine through. I’m also a full-service photographer, helping families turn their images into tangible heirlooms—think custom-framed portraits and beautiful albums that belong on your coffee table, not buried in a hard drive.
In addition to family sessions, I now offer branding, headshots, and product photography. Whether you're a small business owner in need of intentional, elevated visuals or a creative entrepreneur ready to step confidently in front of the camera, I’m here to help you tell your story—beautifully and authentically.
All families and identities are welcome here. I’m a proud ally and strive to create a warm, inclusive space where your story is seen, celebrated, and remembered.
Let’s create something special together.
ortland-based photographer, chai tea enthusiast, toddler mama, and lover of natural light and clean, Scandinavian-inspired design.

A snapshot into my life
Family time is the highlight of my days. Welcoming my son into the world has profoundly changed my life. Everything I do now is for him.
Witnessing his curiosity and eagerness to learn about the world brings me immense joy. Our family days hold a special place in my heart. I cherish taking my little one on morning adventures, whether it's exploring parks, natural areas, farms, or other attractions in the area. And, of course, we always aim to be back home by nap time! 😄

My Favorite Things
As a family, we travel to the coast multiple times a year for some rest and relaxation. It's one of our favorite quick getaways from the city. Although we've explored various spots along the coast, we always feel drawn back to the Newport area.
Our preferred destination is South Beach State Park, just outside of Newport. It's incredibly beautiful there, and it holds a special significance for us – it's where my husband proposed to me during our first visit, making it forever cherished in our hearts.
The Oregon Coast
We adore traveling and have an extensive list of destinations we're eager to explore together as a family. For our honeymoon, we chose Peru, and it was an incredible experience. Visiting Machu Picchu together had always been a dream of ours, and after tying the knot, we finally made it happen.
The following year, we ventured to Poland. Now, we're torn between Spain and Greece for our next adventure. We can't seem to decide which to visit first! Have you been to either? We'd love to hear your thoughts on which one we should prioritize!
Traveling
Ashlie has photographed my family twice now, and we are absolutely in love with all of our photos. We did a studio newborn session with my son, and then recently did a family outdoor session.
Her photographs are so beautiful and timeless. These are memories we are thankful to have. We can’t wait to work with her for family sessions every year.
newborn Session
Ashlie was wonderful and really put our whole family at ease. She was so great with our toddler son and kept him smiling throughout the whole shoot.
We absolutely love the photos too!
maternity Session
Our family has had a few sessions with with Ashlie. We have had nothing but great experiences, and will continue to work with her.
She makes the entire process so easy, our kids absolutely love her, and she never fails to get excellent shots of our family. Her attention to detail is not only reflected in the photos but also in the relationships she creates.
family Session
Ashlie did an amazing job with our winter family photos. She helped wrangle my two energetic girls (ages 4 & 7) and made the whole process fun and enjoyable.
She even had goodie bags for the kids which was a great way to motivate them to cooperate during the session :) I would absolutely book photos with her again!
family Session
A bucket list moment! I am going to cherish these memories for a lifetime. Ashlie was kind, patient, great with my toddler and newborn. She gave good directions on what looks good in a photo, and delivered awesome photos for us. I am very happy with our overall experience with Ashlie. I highly recommend!
Maternity Session
Ashlie is the best! She is amazing at capturing kiddos & I love her clean style. Can’t wait for future sessions with her :)
family Session
I was happy to get a fall photo session with my family. Ashlie is easy to work with and understanding of the complexities of working with toddlers. When I forgot my daughters outfit she had ideas and props to mitigate the problem, We had a great experience!
family Session
From the beginning of each new member's arrival and through all the growing years. Your family memories deserve a place in your home. A place where you can look at them every day and remember the love that lives there. The bond and connections you share. The beauty of your family's love.
