TELLING YOUR STORY
as it naturally unfolds
“There’s no need for you to worry about getting the perfect photo. Perfection is an illusion. If you allow yourself to just be present, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Mother. Creative. Storyteller.
ASHLEY SIMMONS
New Jersey Lifestyle Photographer
Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I’ve always been an observer, someone who notices the little details and does my best to take it all in.
Photography has always been my way of suspending time with the people I love the most. When I look back at photographs, I reminisce and can recollect feelings that have long since past. Hopeless romantic? You could say I’m more of a hopeful nostalgist - if that’s a thing?
When it comes to my approach as a photographer, I believe there is a time and place for posed photographs, but don’t get me wrong, I’d much rather use our time together to build upon real moments; photographing you and your loved ones in your natural element, experiencing life - whether that be enjoying your favorite past time or trying something new together.
My hope is that my photographs highlight the beauty in your life’s everyday moments no matter how seemingly mundane or small. I long to tell love stories in every form and at any stage —Because I believe your story is worth telling and I would be honored to be the one to document it.
I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT creating photographs you can feel
“I recognize that when you book me, you are inviting me to take a glimpse into your personal life while allowing me access to some of your most intimate and raw moments. I hold that responsibility with the utmost respect and honor.
I pride myself on documenting your story with intentionality and authenticity, so that when you look back at your photos, you’ll not only remember the moment captured, but above all you will connect with the honest emotion behind the image.”
