“It’s like she made time stop!”
“I cannot recommend Payne & Co. enough! Our in-home newborn session exceeded all expectations! You can tell how passionate Ashley is—paying attention to the details! It’s like she made time stop! As a new mama, I wanted to soak up all the newborn moments & that’s exactly what Ashley did. We will treasure them for a lifetime!”
cannot adequately express how pleased I am not only with our photos, but also with the entire process and experience in setting the appointment and doing the photo shoot with Ashley. First and foremost, I so highly recommend! She gave me options for locations, and she had a beautiful, unique location picked out if my 6 year old and I were up for it. We went with the adventure, and my son and I had a legitimately wonderful time. He felt like he was exploring and in his own element having fun, and I felt extremely comfortable like I was just hanging out with my son and a friend. That’s the personable and experienced character Ashley exuded nonstop. She had her work boots on and was climbing all over those rocks on the lakefront
