Ashley Aria Photography

Hey there! I'm Ashley!

Lifestyle family, maternity, baby, & childhood photoghaphy

I create warm, natural, lifestyle photography for families, children, expecting mothers, and little ones. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and centered around genuine connection — the snuggles, the laughter, the tiny moments that matter most. Whether you’re celebrating a new chapter or documenting your family as it grows, my goal is to create images that feel honest, emotive, and beautifully true to you. These are the photos you’ll want to hold onto for years. My work blends natural light with emotional depth to capture the moments that are not seen with a natural eye!

I photograph families throughout the Atlanta area, including Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Woodstock and surrounding communities. Whether you prefer a quiet a mountain, waterfall, an open field, or an in‑home lifestyle session, I’ll help you choose a location that feels most like home for your family in whatever season you’re in.

 I help with styling, location suggestions, and gentle posing so you feel confident and relaxed. Kids are encouraged to explore and be themselves — the best photos happen when everyone is having fun! My approach is rooted in storytelling, capturing the in‑between moments that often become the most meaningful. Every session is designed to feel comfortable, authentic, and true to your family’s personality. Think of me as…. your paparazzi, following you around and photographing the beauty that is your family, OR your friendly neighborhood spider-man… I mean photographer, saving you from the certain tragedy of not having enough photos…. whichever sounds best to you! -Oh, and there shall always be a hefty bag of snacks for those little munckins 🙂

Photo Artwork

Timeless

As a lifestyle portrait photographer, I believe that photo artwork is truly incredible because it captures the essence of life’s most precious moments and preserves them forever. Photography is not just about the images themselves, but about the stories they tell and the emotions they convey.  It freezes time, creating space for us to relive memories! You want to feel the warmth of the love connection between your family. Artwork is your story, held in your hands.  It is a celebration of life, capturing the fleeting moments and turning it into something timeless and everlasting.  Your story can never be replicated by anyone else, and I never want you to forget that.

Toddlers are stubborn but because she loves kids and takes pride in her work, Ashley is able to deliver the most amazing photographs and she won't quit until she does! Her patience and creativity constantly blow me away!
