Ashley started her photography business in 2017. Focusing primarily 

at that time on families, she came across a posting on social media 

for photographers to capture photos at a local animal shelter. She has 

always been extremely passionate about animal rescue and animal 

welfare so she responded to the post and the rest is history.  

    She has been photographing pets now for over 3 years and from her 

work with animal welfare and rescue, as well as from personal experience, 

(having owned 3 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats), she knows first hand the 

impact our animals make on our lives. Her mission for every session is to 

create a time capsule of memories, love and friendship that you will have 

for a lifetime and more. 

    In her spare time, she continues to volunteer weekly at 

The Animal Protection Society of Durham by taking photos of their 

adoptable dogs and also helps run their social media. She is also part of 

their Walk For the Animals and Tails at Twilight Committees in addition to 

being a Shelter Sponsor. 

     In addition to volunteering with APS, she is a member of Heartsspeak 

and also volunteers with other local organizations to help photograph 

adoptable animals. 

        She also enjoys spending time with her daughter and husband 

and their two dogs, Shasta and Ollie (who is an APS alum!).
