Turning real Nashville pets, difficult ones included, into artwork you’ll treasure

Nervous, stubborn, or fourteen years old and done listening. All are welcome.

A relaxed, no-pressure photography experience.


Picture this: your dog sniffing every inch of my camera bag while I sit on your living room floor, in no hurry at all. Or your cat watching me suspiciously from under the couch until the treats come out. That’s how sessions start, and it’s exactly how they should. I work at your pet’s pace, whether that’s posing like a little professional or taking breaks every five minutes. Either way, we end up with the photo that looks like them. The head tilt, the regal sit, the tongue sticking out. And then it goes on your wall, where it belongs, instead of living in your phone with the other four thousand.

Behind the Lens

I’m Ashley. I’ve loved photography since high school, but my interest in pet photography started in 2019 with one photo of my cat Mochi lying on my bed in a patch of sunlight. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

Now I photograph Nashville pets full of personality, posed or not posed, calm or chaos, and I love every version. My camera bag always has toys in it and I keep treats handy. My three cats think this makes me very popular. They’re right.

Love Notes

the Experience



I’m not just pointing a camera at your pet. I’m sitting on your floor, treats in hand, waiting for the moment they forget I’m there and turn back into themselves. The regal sit, the head tilt, the tongue that never quite stays in. That’s the photo I’m after, because that’s the one that’s actually them. And years from now, that’s the one you’ll be so glad you have.


Your pet, exactly as they are. Let’s get them ON YOUR WALL.
