Hello! I’m Ashley
I am a wedding photographer located in Milroy, Pennsylvania. I’m a mom of three, and though it get a little crazy we always have a blast.
As long as I can remember, I’ve loved photography, even and a little girl. There’s something about capturing moments that will last for generations that gets my heart pumping.
When I think about the fact that my images are not just taken for my clients, but they’re taken for their children and grandchildren, that makes me want to cry.
My goal is for my clients to look back at their photos and remember exactly what they felt in that moment. I’ve always said “Emotion overrides perfection.” I would always rather have a photo filled with passion and emotion then a technically perfect one with none. When you get both, that’s when the magic happens!
A bit about me:
I love to have fun. Fun is the motive for all that I do.
If you ask me to do your engagement session at the fair, I will (literally) do a happy dance. Or, if you are down to hike a mountain for sunrise, I will be there.
I will likely be dancing at your wedding, with my camera of course, because I just can’t help myself.
Also, can we be friends? I definitely want to hear all the details of your love story!
I’m a mama of three, (as mentioned before) and absolutely love it. Raising kids is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’ve grown so much. They have taught me a wealth of knowledge. I’m so thankful for them.
I love Jesus, he is everything to me. He’s constantly with me, he’s my friend, my counselor, my comforter. I cannot wait to meet him face to face. I’m here to serve him in everything that I do, including my business.
A Bit about them.
Selah is the oldest. She’s my gentle one, my sweet spirit, my feeler. She taught me to never stop praying, to never stop believing.
Analiese, or Ana, our middle one, she is fiesty and hilarious, always finding something to climb and jump off of. Her head of curls is her statement piece to go with her personality. She taught me to love with all I’ve got.
Elijah John, our third born, is my firstborn son. He’s snuggly, smiley, strong, and smart. His one and only word is ball, and he says ball over and over again. He taught me to live slowly.
My husband, Merv loves fishing, and me. He works as a manager at a campground here is Milroy, and it is the best fit for our little family. Merv is my best friend. He is everything I never knew I needed.
A Bit about us…
So I mentioned earlier that I love hearing love stories, I didn’t mention that I also love telling them, so hear is a quick version of ours…
We met playing coed softball. We were on the same team, I still remember him showing up late to practice on his motorcycle. Shwantz is what we called him back them.
We became very close friends, especially when we started going to the same church and the same prayer meeting.
He asked me out, and I said no. He was friend zoned. oops.
About six months later, I traveled to Europe, and during my trip it dawned on my that I missed him, more than I missed any of my other friends.
A week after I got home, I asked him out.
Our first date we went to vote for our new president in 2016.
We got engaged February 2017, and were married May 2018.
We honeymooned in Israel, and it was the most wonderful time.
Now, were five years in, go three kids, and I’m here to tell you it gets better with time, if you put the work in.
I would love to meet you and chat with you, make sure you follow me on Instagram @ashphotosandlife or email me ashthefitmommy@gmail.com
