HEY, I'M ASH.

photographer. storyteller. single mom. firm believer in the best photos happen when you stop trying so hard.

THIS STARTED WITH PEOPLE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN INTERESTED IN PERFECT.

The photographs people come back to years later aren't the ones where everything was flawless. They're the ones that remind them exactly how it felt to be there. 

That's what Hearth & Hollow was built around. 

Connection over perfection.
Presence over performance.

WHY H&H?

Because somewhere along the way being photographed became a need to perform. 

People think they need to. lose weight first. Feel confident first. Learn how to pose first. Become a different version of themselves first.

I don't believe any of that. You deserve to exist in photographs NOW.

A few things you should know...

I will cry during your wedding vows.
I will absolutely fix your hair if it's bothering me.
I have yet to meet a toddler who couldn't be bribed.
I overprepare because I care.
I never expect you o know what you're doing infront of the camera.
Most days I'm raw dogging it just like you in motherhood, womanhood, and working.

The best title i'll ever have is "Mom".

She's been through almost every version of this business. Late night editing after bedtime routines t the scary leaps of faith that came with building something from the ground up. She reminds me daily why hard work matters and why giving up will never be an options. 

More than anything I hope she grows up knowing that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to by watching me. That dreams are worth chasing, setbacks aren't stop signs and that being brace doesn't mean you're not scared, it means you do it anyways. 


think we'd get along?!

Your story matters too...

Whether you're planning a wedding, raising babies, building a business, rediscovering yourself or simply want to remember the season you're in right now, I believe it's worth documenting.

tell me what season you're in.

The truth is, most of the people who inquire with me think they have to have everything figured out first.

You don't.

Jut tell me where you are right now and we'll figure the rest out together.
