ALCHEMIZING MOMENTS INTO VISUAL POETRY
Serene newborn photography
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. An immense feeling of joy, wonder, and adoration overwhelms you as you take in their tiny features and incredible softness.
My approach is simple. To preserve the beauty of this beginning and the connection between you, so you can always return to the indescribable feeling of experiencing them for the first time, exactly as they were, for years to come.
You, your baby, and the unguarded beauty of being together.

THE PROCESS
presence Creates the most beautiful moments
Every artistic detail of your session is considered beforehand so that during a photoshoot we can follow baby’s lead. I'm attuned to your baby's rhythm, leading you through different poses based on their mood.
I direct you gently so the moment itself stays pure, and connected.

FAQ

This is truly personal. I believe every stage of baby is adorable, but for the “newborn” look I recommend anytime before 2 months. The first two weeks is when they’ll be most small and dozy. The 3 month mark we have a plumper baby, and another monumental time to do a baby shoot! Newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month all have different skillsets and physical attributes. All are perfect times to photograph your baby.
I have limited availability on weekends so it’s best to reach out in advance to see when I’m available for the season. -
We embrace your baby however they are. Hungry? We feed. Sleepy? We cuddle. Awake and happy, sleepy, fussy or crying, I’m attuned to your baby and can help mediate what works best for them. If you have a baby with a more sensitive temperament or you don’t like the idea of being put on the spot for 20 minutes I recommend booking the 1hr over a mini session as the 1hr gives rest and feed time.

Toronto & Montreal Newborn Photographer
Hi, I’m Ashley.
The privilege of capturing motherhood is one I do not take lightly. I am devoted to honouring your journey, to truly reflecting the power and beauty I witness. I've photographed over a thousand mothers, and I feel it every time.
I always wanted to photograph mothers differently. There were so many images out there that just didn’t reflect the way I saw women. I wanted to sense their unique essence, to capture their power and beauty in a way that felt symbolic, timeless, artistic, editorial, and real. It wasn’t until after I became a mother that I truly understood just how meaningful and sacred capturing these images would be.
I know what it's like to want to feel guided, seen, and genuinely at ease in front of a camera. That's what I build every session around. Sometimes the work calls for a fully realized production, other times, I strip it back entirely. No matter the artistic direction, I value poetic and publication-worthy results.
It is truly a gift to create and connect with other mothers. If you’re a mother reading this, it’s my sincere intention to hold space for you and your baby, and, through my lens, reflect the beauty the world sees in you.
