Ashley’s love for photography began with a month long trip to Europe, where she was able to look at architecture as art. She then trained under a well-known Street Photographer in New York City, James Maher and world renowned portrait photographer, Dani Diamond of NYC. Soon, after that, Ashley began capturing people from a documentary style point-of-view and moved on to fashion.

Ashley taught in the classroom for 13 years before deciding to make a career transition into full-time photography and loves how she can still interact with people on a daily basis. She is the creator of Destination Session, which is an application based program for all people, ages 14 and up. It consists of a different location each time (so far they’ve been to NYC 4 times, Los Angeles, CA and Paris, France) and 4 styled shoots with hair/makeup/clothing and plenty of adventure!

Landscape Photography with William Rainey

Landscape Photography – preplanning for a future shoot or an inspiration of an idea, as well as going through my equipment. Myself, I always have many different directions to go to make the most of my time, and to make the most of great light and a dramatic scene. Since nature is unpredictable, I will share what I do when things don’t go as planned.
