DOCUMENTING THE MOMENTS YOU'll MISS ONE DAY
FAMILIES. MATERNITY. COUPLES. LIFESTYLE.
My approach to photography is simple: I want to preserve your family and loved ones exactly as you are in this season - not perfectly posed, but connected, loved, and completely yourselves. Because someday, these little moments won't feel so little anymore.
FAMILIES
Family photos don't have to mean everyone standing still and smiling at the camera. Come ready to love on your people, play with your babies, laugh together, and let your kids be kids.
MATERNITY &
MOTHERHOOD
The seasons of Motherhood change so quickly. The growing belly, the way your babies fit in your arms, the little hands reaching for yours - these are the pieces of your story worth remembering. Whether you're waiting to meet your newest little love or documenting motherhood exactly how it looks today, you sweet Mama, deserves to be in the photos too.
COUPLES
Your love doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be worth documenting. The quiet glances, the inside jokes, the way you reach for each other without even thinking. Those are the moments I look for. From celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply the life you've built together, we'll create timeless photographs that feel less like posing for a camera and more like the two of you being exactly who you are together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during my session?
My sessions are relaxed, playful, and centered around connection rather than perfection. You don't need perfectly behaved kids or a partner who loves being in front of the camera. I'll guide you when needed and give you space to just be together.
What should we wear?
You don't have to figure it out alone! I'm happy to help with styling and outfit choices so everything photographs beautifully without feeling overly coordinated. I typically recommend soft, complimentary colors, comfortable textures, and pieces that feel like you. Most importantly, choose something you feel good in, because when you're comfortable, it shows.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks following your session. I carefully hand-edit your images in my signature style and deliver them through a private online gallery where you can easily download, share, and order your favorites.
What happens if my kids don't cooperate?
Then we let them be kids. Seriously. There is no expectation that your little ones will sit still, smile on command, or be perfectly cooperative. Some of my favorite images happen in the chaos - the snuggles after a meltdown, the belly laughs, the running, exploring, and tiny hands reaching for Mom. I'll follow their lead and gently guide your family along the way. You don't need perfect behavior to have beautiful photographs.
How much does a session cost?
My portrait collections begin at $675 and wedding collections begin at $4,000. All collections include a private online gallery with lifetime access.

Hi, I'm Ashley Metler
I'm a photographer, mama of four, and military wife. I'm a lover of good coffee (love me some Starbs), genuine connection, and all the beautifully ordinary moments that make up a life. Motherhood has taught me just how quickly the little seasons pass, and it's a huge part of why I love documenting them. I'm drawn to the belly laughs, candid moments, tiny hands, quiet snuggles, and everything in-between. My approach is relaxed, heartfelt, and with you and your loved ones at the center of it all. Because someday, these little moments will be the ones you miss the most.
