"To have a moment captured by her is a gift and our photos will be something we share with our family for generations to come."

“I have way too many kind things to say about this amazing experience and this amazing human being. Ashley is a joy, and her intentionality in the planning process was second to none. I was so worried about so many things regarding my engagement shoot. Our photos have changed everything.
My fiancé and I have had numerous people stunned by them — my coworkers called them an absolute masterpiece. I couldn't agree more. The selection of photos, the editing, the quality is like nothing you're going to find from any other photographer, not only in New Orleans, but anywhere.
Ashley does her absolute best to capture every moment differently, but what she did for us felt so personal and special. We have these photos everywhere — from our houses, to our feeds, to the wedding website we're currently building. There are a ton of options for great photographers in the NOLA region, but absolutely none of them could come close to what Ashley does for you. To have a moment captured by her is a gift, and our photos will be something we share with our family for generations to come. If you're on the fence, choose Payne and Co. You absolutely will NOT regret it.”

“From the first moment we connected, I knew I had found someone special. Ashley is an absolute dream to work with. She's not just a photographer, she's a true artist.
Going above and beyond to make sure every detail of your session is perfect. She's got an eye for the little details and she can take what might seem like a simple moment and turn it into something truly special.”

“Ashley is an amazing photographer! Ashley found the most perfect spots and got the most beautiful shots of me and my twins for our motherhood shoot. Ashley made us feel so comfortable and we loved working with her. She really captured the love I have for my boys in the photographs and I will cherish those memories forever. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley for our newborn photos, and the experience exceeded every expectation! Her ability to capture the quiet beauty and emotion of those early days is truly exceptional. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone!”
Working with Ashley is a joy! She puts everyone at ease during the photo shoot and works super well with kids. She has a knack for capturing candid moments, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Highly recommend working with her.

Ashley is a fantastic photographer. She helped our family feel very comfortable during our shoot and everything felt very natural and fun. When I got our photos back both my husband and I agreed that they are the best photos we’ve had taken! Nothing felt forced or posed. Also, we didn’t quite have enough time to do the second location we picked all in one day, so Ashley met us on a completely different day to get additional shots, which she didn’t have to do. We appreciated this so much. The quality of the finished photos is top-notch. Highly recommend Ashley and her beautiful work.
