Family & Wedding Photography that Captures Real Life, As It Is

I’ve been drawn to photography for as long as I can remember. Not because of perfect poses or styled moments, but because of the real ones. The laughter between prompts, the quiet squeezes, the way people naturally lean into each other when they feel comfortable.

I specialize in outdoor family and couples' sessions, as well as documenting weddings and events with a natural, storytelling approach. My editing style is minimal and true to life, focused on preserving the feeling of the moment rather than altering it. I believe the most meaningful images are honest, emotional, and rooted in real connection.

Sessions with me are relaxed and lightly guided. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about being “camera ready.” We’ll move, laugh, connect, and let moments unfold naturally, because the best images usually happen in between the planned ones.

You show up as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

"I strongly recommend Twinkle Purple Star Photography. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Ashley does a wonderful job with my crazy boys and husband. Which half of them are not a fan of getting pictures taken. She is able to capture our family so naturally. It’s not an easy task with six people."
