"We as a family have never had family portraits done, we wanted something fun and relaxed to reflect our family. Ashlee got the brief and ran with it, we all laughed and laughed making the experience more fun and photos even better. Even managed to get some great photos of our fur babies. Cant wait to get them on the walls in our home and have family and friends see the great pics too. Thanks so much for capturing our crazy family Ashlee. xxx"

Testimonials
"We used Ashlee to document my daughter’s Deb Ball, she was amazing.
She was there for hair and makeup, getting in her gown, family pics and off to meet friends for more group pics.
Her photos were beautiful and she was in constant contact in the lead up to make sure everything ran smoothly, on the day her calm demeanour really helped calm some very big nerves. Thanks Ashlee for making my daughter feel so special."
