The moments you'll miss before you even know they're gone.

The way your child reaches for your hand, the excitement of waiting to meet your baby, the laughter you share with the love of your life…

These are the moments worth photographing to remember them by.

Lifestyle sessions are relaxed and guided to help show genuine connection while preserving the moments you'll want to revisit for years to come.

She is gazing down at her belly, with her hands resting on her stomach. To her left, there is a potted plant with dark green leaves in a wicker basket. The room has white paneled walls, a woven rug on the floor, and an unmade bed with white linens in the foreground.

THE EXPERIENCE

Gentle guidance.

I guide and prompt you throughout the day while leaving room for moments to unfold organically so your photos feel connected, relaxed, and true to you.

Calming presence.

Photo sessions can feel overwhelming if you’re not used to them. I help you feel comfortable and grounded, easing your mind and making your experience as enjoyable as possible.

Honest moments.

I’m drawn to movement, emotion, connection, and the small moments in between. Your favourite images are the ones you never planned for.

MOTHERHOOD

& FAMILY

The gap-toothed smiles, the wild energy, the cuddles that won't last forever, and the moments that make your family uniquely yours. This is the version of your family that you want to remember.

These sessions are not meant to be perfect. They’re meant to feel like the season you’re in.

Every session includes:

  • Client closet for women’s dresses that add flow and whimsy to your session

  • Session planning support

  • 1 hour of photography coverage with 30–40 professionally retouched images

  • Online gallery

  • Access to a styled private studio in Leduc

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER IN EDMONTON

For the seasons that seem to change overnight.

Motherhood is filled with anticipation, joy, challenge, wonder, and a thousand emotions all at once.

While pregnancy doesn't always feel glamorous, it marks the beginning of a chapter that will change your life forever. Taking time to slow down and celebrate this season is a beautiful way to honour both your journey and the life you're growing.

Whether in your home, at my studio in Leduc, or outdoors surrounded by nature, maternity sessions are designed to preserve the connection, anticipation, and beauty of this moment before everything changes.

The days you'll wish you could relive.

The first few weeks with a new baby often pass in a blur of feedings, sleepy snuggles, overwhelming love, and very little sleep. While the days can feel long, this season changes faster than most parents expect.

These sessions are centred around connection rather than perfection, documenting your family exactly as you are. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, nursery details, and the people who already love your baby most.

Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home, allowing you to slow down, settle in, and preserve the moments you'll one day wish you could revisit.

Investment begins at $575 + GST

EDMONTON FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Because this season matters.

Family photos aren't about perfectly behaved children, matching outfits, or getting everyone to smile at the camera.

They're about documenting the connection that makes your family uniquely yours.

The way your children reach for your hand.
The giggles that turn into belly laughs.
The cuddles they won't ask for forever.
The little personalities that are changing every day.

Family sessions are relaxed, playful, and gently guided, creating space for genuine moments while preserving this chapter exactly as it feels right now.

Because one day, these ordinary moments will become the memories you treasure most.

Investment begins at $550 + GST

Extended family sessions start at $700 + GST, depending on the number of individuals and combinations.

Edmonton Alberta Wedding Photographer

I'm Ashleigh — a photographer, hairstylist, mother, adventure-seeker, and hopeless romantic at heart. My clients often tell me they felt comfortable from the very beginning, and that's something I never take for granted.

I believe the most meaningful photographs aren't created by forcing moments. They're found in the laughter that catches you off guard, the quiet hand squeezes, the tears you didn't expect, and the people you love gathered in one place.

My role is to help you feel at ease, stay present, and trust that the moments unfolding around you are enough.

I can't wait to capture your story.

xx,

Ash

Hi, friend!
