discover We are Ashlee Crowden Photography, a boutique studio dedicated to giving an incredible experience as you embark on the most exciting journey of your life! Memories live on for generations. That is why we feel it is so important to find a photographer who can deliver you a stunning portfolio of moments and emotion captured in time which reflect your individual personalities and how those manifest in your relationship. Like any living being, each relationship is unique, and we aim to tailor our products and services to bring out the essence of your love for each other. When you look at my work, I want you to sense the love, the passion, the laughs, and every movement in between. I try to refrain from anything too posed. I often tell couples to forget that I’m even there, and tell each other a joke, whisper in their ear. These are the shots that set me apart from other photographers. These true moments that are captured for you to have for the rest of your life. I encourage my couples to really look at my work, and understand that each and every client is not treated like another number, but a friend. I truly INVEST in every single one of you, and want you to know just how special you became when you enter the Ashlee Crowden Photography family. So take a look, as these photos will be the ones you will want to invest in. These days the world is complicated, but our promise is a simple one. Ashlee Crowden Photography is founded on the core principle that we provide incredible photographs with informed style, products with integrity built to last a lifetime or more, and an experience as fun and exciting as it is stress-free.
hi My name is Ashlee Crowden, but from the moment you meet me, you’ll just call me Ashlee and address me as your friend, not your photographer. I am a wife, designer, friend, daughter, sister, and Christian; but most of all, I am a photographer. I’m very relaxed and as we go through our consultation, you’ll learn how easy it is to work with me. From the moment we make our initial phone call or in person meeting, you will feel my warm personality bursting through every word I say and every movement I make. Your photo session planning will be unique, simple, and creative, and you won’t feel like you’re left out of the process or that steps are skipped. How I run my sessions: Be who you are. You’re the whole reason I am standing behind the camera! For that hour or two that you book me, you are my world. My whole reason for holding up the camera is to catch you smile, your cute dimples or the little kiss he gives you on your neck; those are the moments I want to capture. You have a “way” you are . . . What makes you, you. And this is so important to me. Your consult helps me learn you. Your session helps me capture you. Your images will burst with the very essence that makes up your entire personality style. I want to feel like your friend by the time we are done. The level of comfort clients feel with me is one that keeps them coming back to me. As you watch my video, read through my blog and see my portfolio images, you will understand what I mean. Each photo you look at makes you feel as though you are looking through a window into that person. The editing style is simple, clean, barely noticeable. I love being able to show clients their photos, even right in the middle of their shoot, to let them see just how naturally beautiful they are. This is what makes the photo, not those fancy editing and processing techniques, but truly being able to capture the beauty that is in each person. Throughout my amazing photography journey my husband Ben has been there to support me one hundred percent, and then some. Carrying my bag and reflector, going to the thrift stores with me to look for props, and making me smile no matter what; this man knows how to make a girl feel like she really wants to chase her dreams. Ben is always there to help make clients smile during shoots when they are feeling awkward and don’t know what to do. This little shout out is for Ben and all of the support he gives to me when I need it, and even when I don’t. I want to let him know that for as much as he loves me unconditionally, I love him even more! When I’m not in front of the camera, I spend my time decorating every available space in my house with chevron print and purchasing new Tom shoes (which you will see me wearing to every shoot I do!). Ben knows he can find me deep in the aisles of a thrift store or flea market looking for a new DIY project if I am missing. I love rubber ducks in a bubble bath and slushies on a warm day. If I were rich I would eat sushi every night, but sometimes a good ole taco has to do instead.

faq How long until I receive my images? You can expect to see your images 1-2 weeks after your session, from there we will have a fun reveal session in your house to see what size photos will fit on your walls best. How many images will we receive? You will preview anywhere from 35-50 fully edited color images. You will also receive a black and white version of every photo you purchase (digitally). Do we have the rights to the images? Yes, all clients receive full rights to their images that they have purchased once payment has been paid in full. Do you offer albums? Yes, I do. Custom albums are available to any client and can be purchased anytime after your session. You will receive a proof of your album before it goes to print to ensure perfection. You may select the images or have me do it for you. Albums have anywhere from 20-60 images depending on the size and number of pages. Can I get the raw flles? No you cannot. The reason you hired me was for my not only my professional photos, but my professional opinion. You will receive the best images possible from your session and there’s really no reason to give out the RAW files, as I was you to be represented the best way possible. What camera do you shoot with? I use two canon cameras, the Canon Mark II and the Canon 6D. Do you travel? Yes! I love to travel. I’m available to fly anywhere in or out of the country. All travel expenses are billed separately from your wedding collection.
When and how do I book you? Once you know you officially want to book with us you must have the $150 session fee, from there we will schedule your session. Do you offer payment plans? Yes, Once you have selected your collection, your total can be spread out to a monthly or bi-monthly payment, whatever fits your needs more up to 6 months. All payments must be made in full before reviving any products or digital files. What form of payment do you accept? Currently we accept cash or check only. Why should I hire you? There are so many photographers to choose from, and I understand there are so many things to consider when hiring a photographer. Anyone can buy the same gear I have. I separate myself by posing you while still making you feel natural. I will probably ask you to tickle your spouse, or tell them a tacky joke, or do a slow motion kiss, but its these actions that will get natural smiles, natural laughs, and your true reaction to your loved one. Your photos won’t look stiff, they will be fun, playful and reflective of who you are as a couple. I am extremely organized, and will walk through all the shots that are important to you and your family. What is your style? Natural, romantic, rich, playful Should I get my hair and make up done? This is not a requirement by any means, but I do encourage the ladies to get their hair and make up done. These photos are a once- in a life time and you want to look your best! Just ensure you allow plenty of time the day of to get these two things done. What time do you schedule your sessions? I try and schedule my sessions an hour and a half before sunset. Plan on meeting me around 3-3:30 in the winter, and around 5 in the summer! What do I wear? I encourage clients to wear coordinating colors, nothing to matchy-matchy. Avoid things like logos, brand names, or writing on shirts at all, as it is a distraction to your photos. Can we bring our pets? Yes! you can. I would encourage you to bring a ‘helper’ though to take care of your animal for the shots they wont be in, that way you can focus on your session and not worry about him/her running off.
