Hello there to you ! I'm Ashley, I'm a photographer in love with her work, relishing the present moment & the coming adventures ahead. I'm enchanted by travel and the journeys it brings, near and far.. by the meaning & story every moment, bend of light, and person I encounter has the chance to give, and I the privilege to communicate when I have my camera in hand.

I live in San Francisco, & grew up in the creatively-infused enclaves of Northern California, & Hawai'i. From an early age I had a deep love for and grew up thriving off of nature, art, and - ohh yes! - being taught that age-old adage that 'only your imagination is the limit...' But from a preternaturally young age I was also instinctively entranced with the seeing of the world around me.. and in turn interpreting & sharing both the empathic & intellective value of my experiences.

I work in Portrait, Travel, Editorial, Lifestyle & Music photography, as well as being educated and continually engaging in Documentary and Fine Art works.

My pieces have spanned exhibition & publication from the walls of the UK's illustrious National Portrait Gallery, to National Geographic, to working with brands like Free People. I have lived in the US, England, & Italy. I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz with a degree in Environmental Studies, and an emphasis in Documentary Photography.

I am a proud member & Fellow of The Arctic Circle & it's 2015 Summer Expedition - Living & working aboard a Barquentine Tall Ship, a select group of international artists & scientists explore, create & innovate in the Arctic Circle & Svalbard, sailing just 10 degrees latitude south of the North Pole.
My project research included a Visiting Readership at Oxford University
