About Us
Oh, hi! I see you've come to learn about me... Let me brag about myself for a hot minute. I think I'm pretty funny. When not working, my days are spent with my children, and when I am working at my computer I am almost always listening to podcasts or audio books, and editing away.
I absolutely LOVE creating art, I graduated from my Photography program in 2009 and I spent the first 10 years of my Photography endeavour building up my portfolio before deciding to take the dive into making this my full time job in 2018.
Creating beautifully posed and candid portraits is my biggest passion, and I take great pride in making sure those portraits get hung up on your walls, and not just sit in iCloud storage.
In another life I would have become a Psychologist, I am fascinated with people, and why they are the way they are. I am a neurodivergent; and I love the relationships I have built throughout my career by being my authentic self. In a world full of people who live life in black and white, I see it in full colour, and I savour every moment.
After marrying I changed my legal last name (it's no longer Ashley Brooks), and I kept my business name as Ashley Brooks because that's the name on my Photography Diploma, and I feel like I identified as Ashley Brooks for 27 years, so that identity shouldn't just be erased. I believe a lot of women get caught up in being a mom and wife (guilty!), which is why my love for Photography and digital editing is the perfect escape for my creative soul.
I do this because I truly love to create.
I love to make people feel happy.
I like to be a boss. (This is a good thing for you, trust me.)
And I like to hide in my office, away from the chaos of my children every single chance that I get!
- Please don't tell my husband, he thinks I do this for the money ;)

Kyleigh assists with on-location sessions, and occasionally with admin tasks. Kyleigh is in her final year of high school and is the absolute best at knowing what needs to be done, without even being asked. We will certainly miss her around here when she leaves for University in September.
