Hi, I'm Ashlee—the photographer behind Ashlee Paiva Photography.


As a wife, mum of three, and Melbourne-based photographer, I know how quickly life's moments become treasured memories. My passion is creating relaxed, genuine photography experiences that capture real connection - whether that's a family milestone, a special celebration, or the excitement of game day.



My goal is simple: to help you stay present while I preserve the memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Testimonials

"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"
