Since 2010, I have been photographing families all across the United States - coast to coast, on top of mountains and in the valleys, at the beach and in their homes. It's been one of my greatest joys to be part of some of the most incredible moments, and document the lives of my clients-turned-friends. I am so thrilled to be a traveling family photographer, serving families all over Phoenix from Surprise to Chandler, Scottsdale to Buckeye and everywhere else in the valley!
All sessions take place outdoors, approximately 90 minutes before sunset.
WEST VALLEY PHOENIX family PHOTOGRAPHER IN SURPRISE ARIZONA
Because these fleeting moments deserve to be remembered forever.
— Lisa P.
Ashley is knowledgeable, professional, and has a very unique eye to capture the most gorgeous moments! She took our family photos during my three year old’s battle with leukemia so these photographs are very precious to my family and me. I am so thankful that she was my family’s photographer.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our session!
Investment
As a mom of four (three teenagers and an adult), I understand better than most how hard it is to get into photos with your family - and it's even harder to have a photo with kids where it isn't just a selfie. I truly have experienced how fleeting these moments are, and how fast time really does fly.
Also as a mom, I also know our schedules are freaking busy and when hiring a photographer, I want options based on my available time and price point.
And with that in mind, I have three options just for you, Mom.

THE LATEST FAMILY sessions
Do you have backup photographers "Just in case"?
I have a flexible schedule that allow us to reschedule if need be, due to poor weather, illness or some other unforeseeable reason, but yes - I do have backups for sessions that absolutely cannot be rescheduled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you help us with posing?
Fun fact: everyone is awkward and weird when trying to be POSED in front of the camera. There is literally nothing LESS CASUAL than the prom pose, right!? No thank you! Instead, I'll give you lots of directions and prompts to get natural, intimate and fun photos of you guys ... let's keep it real, mmk?
Where are you located?
I am located in Surprise, Arizona but I am available for family photography sessions in all of Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, Sedona and even Flagstaff!
Travel is included for all sessions in the Phoenix region except for mini sessions, which will need to be in the vicinity Surprise, Arizona.
Do you give out unedited/raw photos?
Tell me, would you go out on a fancy date night and ask the chef for a raw slab of prime rib to season and grill to perfection? Nope. I mean, maybe YOU would, but most people wouldn't because the whole point of hiring a professional is to get what THEY have to offer. So simply put: no. My editing and delivery process is part of the experience of working with me.
Are digital files included? Printing rights?
I want you guys to print your images, make albums and give them as gifts. Every session comes with at least some high resolution digital files, and access to all of the images in a private gallery.
How many pictures can we expect?
For a typical session, roughly 50-75 images each hour together. I don't limit or cap the number of photos you'll receive in your viewing gallery, because each session is entirely unique. More details, more people, more time? More photos. Simple as that!
Do you reschedule if weather is bad?
Generally speaking - yes. Cold/super hot kids = grumpy kids and honestly ... grumpy adults, too. If it's raining or super windy, we'll reschedule if it's at all possible. I will always be in constant contact with you to decide if we need to reschedule (and no, before you ask - there's no rescheduling fees for things outside of our control like weather).
Will you photoshop me?
Okay first of all, knock it off. No. You don't NEED photoshopped! I am a firm believer in authenticity and as a professional photographer, knowing how to guide people into flattering poses in any kind of lighting situation. That said, if you wake up and OMG have a huge pimple on your forehead - I got you, Boo. But no, I can't make you look 10 years younger, I won't nip and tuck, and I refuse to make you look like a crazy Snapchat filter. You're beautiful the way you are!
