Hi! I'm ashley!

I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR


What does that Mean?

In short, I help creative women share the heartbeat & unique personality behind their businesses.

What it looks like is me coming in, chatting about your brand identity, and helping you put together a plan for sharing that on social media and anywhere you have an online presence.

We shoot headshots, both professional & lifestyle, behind-the-scenes of your creative process, and both styled & lifestyle shots of your product or service.

It's YOU + movement, which means it doesn't feel posed and stiff.  Images that align with your brand messaging build trust and help your ideal clients to connect with you!

ready to get started???

Life is short & precious and I believe that rest creates more productivity than hustle does.  I've developed some education + mobile presets to get you loving taking photos with that camera in your pocket (your phone!!)

I love cheering on other women & biz owners

I started my Instagram & blog in 2010 to share my wedding photography business, but these platforms have morphed into a place where I love to share my favorite things like Disney, my garden, my dog, cute outfits and fun finds + pieces of my life.

My favorite things

Chris was stationed on Florida's Emerald Coast in 2010 and when he was medically retired in 2016, we made the decision to stay.
The water is my happy place & my healing place & I love sharing photos of the crystal clear waves.

I'm a mermaid at heart

From the mess of our story was born a calling to help other wounded, ill & injured veterans and their spouses. Now that mission includes young widows too. Come help us make this dream of building a retreat house a reality!

crowned for ashes

I lost my husband, Air Force Captain Christopher Cochrane, in March of 2018. I share a peek at my journey through grief here on my feed & you can read more of our story + how I'm turning my pain into purpose below...

I became a widow at age 31

I love to help really busy women share the heart behind their brand & step out of the social media overwhelm by creating images that communicate their brand messaging & personality.

by day, i'm a photographer
