  • about me

    What makes me, me?  Well.  My life is shared with my husband, Brian, four dogs, one cat and two horses.  Oh and throw a few chickens into the mix.  Whew, what a mouthful.  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  I am a small town girl.  I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful state, Michigan.  I heart all things rustic and furry.  Simple things make me smile.  I love spontaneity and wish I were better at it.  Real moments in life, to me, are special.  Nature is special.  Being able to see the beauty in the small things has allowed me to become a better photographer.  I am inspired daily.  

    My approach on photography tends to be a more casual, documentary style.  I shoot on location and use natural light whenever possible.  I like honey tones and vintage washes.  I love smiles and giggles, serious stares and raw emotion.

    I also love wagging tails, furry paws and slobbery toys.    

    I'm happy.  I am blessed.  I love what I do.

Amy C - Ashley, I am glad you got out and enjoyed the weather and the horsies. These are great shots. :)

Sean - Ashley, I love these. They almost somehow feel a little surreal? Fairytale like.

Alexandra - Awesome shots!

DVMsWife - The weather has been so wonderful around MI hey? Love your pictures and especially that spiky forelock! Hee! How funny. My horse’s manes and tails are a mess from the rain and mud we had. Check out my blog. Funny we both blogged about our horses!

Suki - Great shots. I always find horses a bit scary.

The Retired One - These were great. For a minute there, I couldn’t tell if the horse’s tail was the horse’s tail or human hair. Great photos!
