"When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear."
Alfred Eisenstaedt
Hi I'm Ashley,
I've had a camera in my hands since I was a kid.
When I turned 16 I was gifted a Minolta 35mm and it went with me EVERYWHERE. I took pictures of anything and anyone that caught my eye, never worried about what others thought of the weird kid with a camera.
When I became a mom I learned the value of a photograph, the ability to freeze a specific moment in time. As my family ages I cherish the memories attached to those photos while continuing to create more. At some point I realized that I could freeze those moments for others and not just myself and thus Light & Shadow Photography was born.
