Laurie Ashley Photography

There are three aspects of photography that truly ignite my soul. The first and most crucial factor is light. I am completely enamored with the way the sun illuminates the world, and there is nothing better than when that glow starts to pass through my lens and add that extra unique touch of enchantment to your photographs. This is why golden hour, often known as the final hour before sunset, is when all lifestyle workshops are held since you simply cannot obtain that glow at any other time of day. Second, connection: I am passionate about using connection to capture love and emotion. You can anticipate spending a lot of time interacting with your loved ones throughout my session, and I always pay attention to how your hands and bodies are interwoven to demonstrate the most sincere kind of affection. I can sense when these ridiculous poses give way to true, honest feeling, and that is where the real magic starts to emerge. You might feel a little silly hugging all over your people out in a sun-drenched field, but I can feel that. Last but not least, the landscape: I have always adored nature, especially in large, open areas. In the suburbs where I grew up, everything seemed to be piled on top of one another. Wide open fields, undulating hills, immense oceans, deep forests, and all other kinds of landscapes inspire me. I find peace in nature for whatever reason, and I aim to convey that sense of wonder and expanse in your images.
