LOVE NOTES
Ashley & Kristen are a force to be reckoned with! They are creative, patient, punctual & original. They have captured my kids at every stage of life and more importantly captured their personalities. They both grow to be better with each passing year - they have new and exciting ideas that are executed flawlessly. I would recommend ABP to anyone & everyone! You will not be disappointed in their professionalism, quality of pictures and the experience from first booking, to wardrobe ideas to the day of the shoot.
Alix
We attended one of Ashley Brown’s unportrait project sessions. I am blown away by the quality of photos we received. Ashley & Kristen captured my children’s personalities and the facial expressions that I see most often and love. They captured THEM, not a posed picture of them. We would absolutely recommend them!
Melanie
Year after year, Ashley takes the most amazing photos of my children. I travel 2 hours just to have her work with my kids. My daughter has Autism and is difficult to work with and doesn't smile on command, yet somehow Ashley always takes the most beautiful photos!
Karen
Ashley Brown is the consummate professional. She never gets frazzled and you are provided with the most beautiful photographs you could imagine. After working with Ashley for more than six years, I now consider her part of my family. I can't recommend Ashley enough for all of your precious memories.
Jaime
Ashley & Kristen have been photographing our family for the past 3 years. Our home is filled with timeless photos of our children that I will cherish forever. The sessions are the perfect amount of time - not too long but just enough to get the perfect shots! We are so thankful that we found them when our first child was born. We love spending time with Ashley & Kristen and always have fun during the sessions! I highly recommend them!

Ashley & Kristen take the most incredible photos. They are timeless and natural, pictures that will stand the test of time. They have been our photographers for 7 years and I cherish each and every image. I consistently have people ask me where I have such beautiful pictures taken, my answer is always the same! They are flexible,understanding and contentious, consistently provides the highest level of customer service and give back to the local community.
