Do you photograph C-sections?

Yes! Cesarean births are so powerful and it's an honor to tell those stories. Be aware that some doctors or hospitals have policies against photography in the OR, but many clients have successfully self-advocated for Ashley's presence to be granted.

What if there's a change in my birth plans?

Birth doesn't always go according to plan, and that's okay. Ashley will stay with you and continue documenting your birth story through any transfer or change of circumstances, as long as that's what you want.

Do you accept Medicaid for doula services?

Yes! Ashley accepts Medicaid for doula services and offers flexible payment plans because she believes all families deserve access to doula support and birth story documentation.

How do you balance doula support with photography?

Support and storytelling flow together naturally. Ashley is constantly tuning in — offering hands, words, and grounding presence when needed, and picking up her camera in the quiet moments where strength and connection shine through. She never disappears into the camera or away from your side.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes. Ashley's practice is a safe space for all types of births and all birthing families. She is LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and a Transgender Safe Space provider.

What is included in the Birth Story Documentation package?

The Birth Story Documentation package ($1,500) includes 24/7 on-call availability from 37 weeks until baby arrives, photo and video coverage from active labor through 2 hours postpartum, 100+ high-resolution hand-edited digital photos, and a 3–6 minute birth film set to music.

Birth Photographer & Doula
serving Colorado Springs

Q: What areas do you serve as a birth photographer and doula?

Ashley happily serves Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo, and everywhere in between across Colorado.

Your birth story is worth remembering.

Regardless of how it unfolds, it will transform you. These hours will weave themselves into the fabric of who you are as a parent, a partner, a human.

Birth is not only a physical event; it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. It’s worth being able to relive. And I will tell your story with the tenderness and truth it deserves.

Hi! I'm Ashley.

Birth photographer, videographer, and doula based in Colorado Springs.

I believe deeply in honoring the strength and intuition already inside you. My work is rooted in presence – being there with steady hands, a grounded heart, and a camera that knows when to disappear and when to hold a moment forever.

"What a sweet, sweet human with a beautiful talent for capturing moments I never imagined I would want to relive. I'm so grateful for Ashley coming into my life and the gifts she has given me to hold close forever. She was very present, but her presence in my space didn't interrupt anything. If you're on the fence about hiring a birth photographer, please give Ashley a shot. You won't regret it!"

- Whitney

"Ashley was truly incredible to have in my labor/delivery room. She was so encouraging, helpful, fun, but also gave us photos and a birth video that blew our expectations completely out of the water. A core memory for us, but also one we are able to remember even better from details (thanks to her) we maybe didn’t realize in the moment of everything going on. It was an honor to have Ashley with us at our son’s birth!"

The proudest big brother 🥹

Witnessing so many family-centered births has me thinking often about the impact we’re making in the long term. How allowing children to grow up hearing birth stories, or to be present in some way, is quietly reframing birth as something powerful and normal, not something scary or hidden away. The way we talk about birth today becomes the expectation our kids carry into their own experiences someday, and that’s a shift that will echo for generations. ...
