What Families Are Saying:

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ashley Rose Media for our family photo session! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and full of great suggestions for locations and outfits that perfectly suited our style. During the outdoor shoot, she made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She knew exactly how to capture genuine smiles and candid moments without it feeling forced. The photos turned out even better than we imagined: beautiful natural lighting, stunning compositions, and images that truly capture our family’s personality and joy. We now have timeless portraits we’ll treasure forever.

Ashley is so beyond talented and sweet! The best part of choosing her as your photographer is that you genuinely have fun! If you have littles she is the perfect choice for family photos as she knows exactly what to say/do to get those smiles :)

Ashley is absolutely wonderful! She helped direct everyone so the sessions went quick and smoothly. If you like light, airy, crisp color photography Ashley is your look. She has the poses down, 15 mins is all you need and you get the next family photo for your home and those memories locked forever. I would recommend 10/10 everytime!!

We had a great experience taking maternity photos with Ashley! My husband and I are not photogenic people but are so happy with our photos. Ashley helped immensely with positioning and posing. We also included our dog and Ashley’s husband was the biggest help. The session was comfortable and fun and we love Ashley’s bright and airy style!

Ashley is INCREDIBLE. I have 3 boys that are 3 and under and I had pretty much accepted that we wouldn’t get a “whole family looking at the camera and smiling picture” but she got it! She was QUICK and efficient during our mini session and just kept snapping. From the moment I booked with Ashley she was helpful, emailing style guides and a what to expect document with SUPER helpful tips. Cant wait to book her again next year!

Ashley is absolutely amazing!!! We have had family photos done multiple times over the years and very few times was it as enjoyable as it was with Ashley. She was great with our kiddos (4 of them ranging in age from 2 to 15 years old), she interacted with them, and made them feel so comfortable. Lots of laughter and giggles! This makes a HUGE impact when trying to get them to pose / smile for photos. They all had alot of fun and left the session asking when we can do it again. A first for our kiddos! You can tell she takes pride in her role of capturing these moments. Her work is personal and exactly what we were looking for. We cannot recommend Ashley enough - you will NOT be disappointed! We will be calling her for all our photo needs in the future.
