Your Life. Your Moments. Beautifully Told.
Real connection. Honest emotion. Timeless photography.
Whether you’re walking down the aisle, celebrating a milestone event, or capturing the everyday magic of your family, your moments deserve to be preserved with care, artistry, and intention.
I’m Ashley Barker—photographer, creative partner, and quiet observer with an eye for the in-between.
I am all about that mix of candid imagery and editorial-style portraiture. If you love my work but feel "super awkward in front of the camera" you've come to the right place!
With 20 years behind the lens, I specialize in natural, emotionally resonant imagery that feels like you—at your best, your most joyful, and your most at ease.
From wedding days to engagement shoots, family sessions to elegant soirées, I bring the same thoughtful approach:
• Effortless direction when you need it
• Space to be present when you don’t
• Beautiful images you’ll return to for a lifetime
“I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day. Not only did she make us all super comfortable, she captured moments that we couldn't have staged; and those were the most magical memories of all. Looking back (and on the day of) I'm still so impressed with her ability to schedule it all in. She was with us from wake up until the last song and was able to capture the girl's day as well as the boy's day effortlessly. Ashley coordinated the "first look" and knew exactly the vision we were trying to capture. I'm honestly so thrilled with her work that it makes me want to do my wedding all over again every time I look at the pictures."
