All that to say, this isn't just a paycheck & clicks of a camera, I look forward to walking by your side as a friend throughout this process, from the moment you review your photography proposal in your fluffy slippers until your family session. So, grab yourself a fresh latte or glass of champagne, and let’s dive into the magical world of what your family photos can be. Together.

I'm Ashley, lead photographer and owner of Smitten Mitten. I'm business owner and mother. After over a decade of photographing families, I’ve found a passion for documenting the things that make these days with your little ones so sweet: genuine laughter, delicate details like hands & toes, and the irreplaceable love of family. I believe family sessions are about organized fun & cherishing the imperfect moments of being parents. As a mother I always find myself not in photos enough or moments with our daughter I regret not having captured.

Hello Friends!
Hello Friends!
Visiting new places!
There is something about seeing a new place that refreshes my soul. When I get the chance to see the world, I am truly seeing it for the colors, the views, the sights, the people, the cultures and the food! All of it inspires me in my work. From adding more in my images or understanding my clients better. I was able to travel to Italy + Paris in 2023 and the colors, food and culture have all added so much color and life to my sessions. Same with Colorado! I got the chance to visit Colorado Springs and Crested Butte in 2024! This photo is from my morning hike at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The little moments.
As parents, whether they be of human kiddos or fur babies, the moments in sessions that make me so inspired are little. Almost passing for everyone else. Whether it's a newborns finger wrapped around dads. Your little one acting like a total goof with jokes or silly faces. More than that though it is the moments as a family that come so quickly every single day... the glimmers we miss in the chaos of the day to day.
My family.
My daughter is truly the heart of my world. She brings so much joy, life, and laughter into my days, and she somehow always knows how to make me smile—even on the hard ones. She’s also my favorite little adventure buddy. She’s the reason my business became what it is today; when she was little, I wanted to capture absolutely everything because I didn’t want to miss a single moment.
And of course, our goofy Golden Doodle, Billy, is very much part of the family. He keeps our home full of laughter and chaos in the best way. Photographing him is one of my simple, everyday joys.
Atleast once a month I am catching a flight to some where to capture something beautiful! Let's match travel plans or go together!
