“I believe in you. I believe in your body, your power, and your intuition. I believe that birth is a sacred and transformative experience that should leave women feeling strong and empowered. As one of the most important days of your life, it deserves to be remembered with vivid detail. It is my deepest honor to document these stories—of tenderness between partners, of strength you didn’t know you possessed, of love. The stories of women being born into mothers.”

Birth photography is so much more than pictures of your birth, it’s the story of your experience to be relived and shared for years to come.” -Fox Family

“We desired our birth film to capture the raw moments of labor and birth, but also discreet enough we felt comfortable sharing with our family and friends. Ashley honored our wishes and captured the sweetest collection that made up our birth film. It shows not just my labor, but an outside view of all the love and support I received throughout. I cherish how I got to see how my husband support me, catch our son and hold him for the first time.” – The Sylling Family
