I love working with Sadie (her art will knock your socks off), Nick and their girls are exactly my kind of friend-clients. Permissive, up for anything, open and creative allowing us to get into a very out-of-time vibe that’s a lot of talk, talk, photo, snap, chat, walk, notice, create.

We made our way up to Utah’s Snowbasin on opening day when the mountains were transformed to one of Sadie’s imagined snowy scenes and the location and togetherness made for a laid-back family portrait session adventure on film (film notes below)

Thanks for the kind review, Sadie…. (keep reading)

“Ashley has a very open and playful way about photographing. She has an ease about her that makes the person being photographed feel calm- she lends a bit of her confidence if you lack some. She's very collaborative about vision and ideas. She's excited about her projects and can pivot on a dime if some other idea pops up. She's willing to take the time, explore till the vibe you're trying to achieve is accomplished. It feels like her top goal is to give you this timeless gift of these photographs, little snapshots in time that are genuine and deeper in content than the standard portraits. She wants to infuse the images with as much realness and spirit as she can, and she does.” - Sadie
