You can breathe easy here. When I hold my camera, I'm more than just a photographer. I'm a witness to your story, an attentive audience of one. Like a moviegoer who finds themselves holding their breath during tense scenes or smiling unconsciously at moments of joy, I immerse myself in your narrative. Your triumphs become my victories. Your tender moments soften my heart. Your tears blur my vision as well.

It's safe to be seen. Safe to be loved. Safe to be exactly who you are. Through my camera, I'm not just capturing your moments. I'm honoring them with my full presence, my genuine emotion, and my deepest respect for your unique story.

Your stories deserve to be told beautifully and preserved forever.

Welcome

If you could hug someone at this moment who comes to mind?

I especially loved the storytelling aspect of her photos. Ashley’s friendly and professional approach put me at ease right away. My friends, family, and I are absolutely in love with the pictures.

Ashley's creativity amazed us! The personalized props she made for our dog's photoshoot were so thoughtful. The final images are truly one-of-a-kind!

Ashley's patience is truly remarkable. Our toddler was having a tough day, but she never rushed us. She calmly waited for the perfect moments. Her kind demeanor made all the difference!

Growing up in Shanghai, I learned that love often whispers through gentle actions and quiet moments. When life brought me to America for high school, two wonderful host families showed me how love can also dance loudly in warm hugs and spoken words. Now, I create photographs and handcrafted memories from my little corner of Seattle, where I live with my husband and our always-joyful golden retriever. This journey between two worlds has given me a unique lens. I see love in all its languages, from subtle glances to passionate embraces.

Looking for a photographer who understands the quiet moments?
I'm here for you.

In a world of endless scrolling and fleeting digital moments, ask yourself: which memories would you still want to capture if no one else could see them? Which moments are so precious that you need to be in them, not just behind the camera? 

I'm here for these deeply personal moments, the ones that matter most when all the screens go dark. Together, we'll create tangible treasures: prints that warm your walls, albums that tell your story, and heirlooms that your grandchildren will one day hold in their hands. Because the most meaningful moments aren't meant for the internet - they're meant for the heart, for the home, for forever.

Memories worth keeping
Not Just Scrolled
