Who I am…

Hi, I’m Ashley—a freelance photographer and visual storyteller with a mission to use my lens for compassion. My work focuses on ethical vegan product photography, animal advocacy, and capturing the powerful stories of animals in rescue and sanctuary.

Since childhood, I’ve felt a deep bond with animals—one that has shaped my life and continues to fuel my purpose. I believe every animal has a soul, and whether they’re healing in a sanctuary, just rescued, or honored through compassionate products, their story deserves to be seen and felt.

I travel often due to my wife’s work, so I don’t have a fixed studio or permanent base. Instead, I offer my services wherever we’re living at the time—working with sanctuaries, rescues, and ethical brands to create honest, mission-aligned imagery. While my primary focus is on advocacy and product work, I also continue to offer pet sessions, creating soulful portraits that capture the love between animals and their people.

Photography, for me, is a form of activism and truth-telling. Through respectful, heartfelt images, I aim to bridge the gap between the animals we adore and those still suffering, reminding us that they all feel, they all love, and they all deserve compassion.

My wife and I live a whole food, vegan lifestyle and have both completely transformed our lives through nature, movement, and mindful living. We find joy in hiking, forest bathing, traveling, growing food, exploring new vegan meals, and sharing slow mornings over coffee. Together, we do our best to live in alignment with our values, to be healthy and happy role models, and to show that change is always possible—with love and intention.

If you’re a sanctuary, rescue, ethical brand—or simply someone who believes in the power of stories—I’d love to collaborate and create something meaningful with you.
