10 Questions with Ashley Stein

1. Introduction: What's your story?

My photography journey began about 12 years ago as a teenager, but it wasn't until I became a mother that I worked up the courage to leave my day job and pursue my photography career full-time. I have always loved the art, but I have found that over the years, it is the connection between people that makes me really love what I do. It's seeing them in their happiest moments but also supporting them in their tough ones that makes it all worth the long days, and the busy seasons.

Outside of my love for people, I'm a wife and a mother to three strong-willed children whom I homeschool. If you knew me personally, you would know that I like to go against society norms. I hope to one day encourage my children to pursue happy, no matter what that looks like.

I have been shooting weddings full-time for nearly 8 years. I have photographed over 120+ couples on their wedding day.

3. How would you describe your photography style?

My photography style is clean, minimal, emotional and true to color with a heavy focus on skin tones.
