Hey there It’s Ashley & Sarah.

We’re a lot like you! Two ladies that have been struggling our way through life and found each other while exploring the Appalachian foothills of this Tennessee Valley Region in Northeast Alabama. Together, we’ve found delightfully healing places to take photos with jaw-dropping surprises around every corner.  This region has been our home for many years now – but it’s not just any old place; this area offers up some of northeast Alabama’s most diverse landscape with breathtaking views that are out-of-this world gorgeous. No matter what time of year or weather condition you’re experiencing at present moment (which also happens to make exploring these woods rather picturesque) you will find rest, here. If things seem too daunting on your own? No worries because as soon as someone says “outdoor girls” you can be sure we will show you exactly where to go…

Meet Ashley.

 

Ashley is an ambitious, fun loving dreamer who is wild at heart and in love with nature. She has a passion for mother Earth and showcasing that through her photographic art.  She grew up “in the country” nestled between two mountains and spent her childhood traipsing through the woods. 

 

“The Outdoors Are Calling.”

 

By developing a love of outdoors at an early age, she finds herself by getting lost in the woods.  Ashley is a full time photographer and mother.  She spends her free time outdoors hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling and exploring all the places near and far!   Ashley owns a photography business that has lead to 14 plus years of capturing people.  It wasn’t until during the COVID quarantine that she realized she could photograph nature too. 

Come along with us and see what she sees through her lens!
