Moments in life are gifts, given to us piece by piece. It is a privilege that it is ours to choose how to spend these moments. You will never be here again, in this moment. They deserve to be celebrated and documented just as they are, and so do you.
I have loved cameras as long as I can remember. In 2019 I started my business as a way of celebrating the everyday moments. To document them, to capture them as I see them. To document people, just as they are and the connections between them. Capturing these fleeting moments ignites my heart.
I am 40 now and I have had the absolute honour of meeting thousands of people in my life. I have nursed people and cared for individuals of all ages, in so many differing situations. It has taught me how very precious life is.
Three of my own special people feature in many of my photographs. Of all the photographs I have taken during their lives, the ones that document the tiny details are the ones I treasure. Tiny hands, chubby cheeks, they way they smile and how we are when we are together remind me of how those moments with them FELT, the warmth in my heart.
When photographing, I work to create an atmosphere where honesty and natural connections are encouraged. My heart does a happy dance when I can feel these moments though my images. I aim to capture a memory of how the precious times together FELT, in your heart.
To photograph moments which you will treasure for a lifetime.
Thanks for taking your time to get to know me a little better,
Ashley.

"Ashley captured the values of my brand seamlessly. Having beautiful, timeless photographs I can use again and again across all online platforms and physical marketing material adds so much value to the business and allows my audience, both old and new, feel closer to and better understand the work I create. Working with The Wild Ones Photography has added value to my business - an investment and service I can't recommend highly enough."

"@thewildonesphotography is a magician. Anyone observing this picture can see it. The pictures she has taken of our wee rocket are perfect. Ashley was ridiculously patient, incredibly kind and even laughed at my jokes. 2020 has been a shocker admittedly but for a large part of these last few months, we have had the chance to spend time hanging in our garden... I'll never forget having those days and Ashley's pictures will remind me of how freaking great it was"

"I am not a confident person in front of the camera but after regretting not taking a single picture of my bump with my first two children, I knew I wanted to have my final pregnancy documented. From the moment I contacted The Wild Ones Photography, Ashley was so lovely and when it came to taking photos she immediately made me feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos she captured are such a beautiful momento from such a special time and I am so glad I got them done."
