"Sometimes, it can be the most ordinary moments that creates an extraordinary piece of art." - RICK RUBIN
WHAT EVEN IS LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY?
"Lifestyle" photography, to put it simply, is my approach and style of shooting. It means that main goal above all things is to document your most authentic moments as naturally as possible. It's visual storytelling at its best! Through each unique session, it's about feeling more than anything. It's understanding how to document your story in the most authentic way, and leaving you speechless with the work that shines through at the end. And for you, it's about trust....in yourself and in me. Trusting yourself enough to let go and just "be" for a while, and trusting me to create absolute magic out of you and your special moment.
For portrait sessions or wedding days, it looks like working together to design and document your story in unique environments that hold a special meaning to you! And in the commercial and branding world, the same lifestyle elements help to humanize brands and products by showcasing "the why" of any brand in real-life scenarios. The focus is on capturing moments that will captivate your target audience, creating a long-lasting connection and making your product or service more relatable. From elopements to commercial photography, incorporating these elements adds a personal touch and a sense of realism to whatever kind of session you're looking to book.
SAY HELLO TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER:
ASHLEY ROBERTSON
From the earliest age, I've always been a deeply passionate storyteller. After moving from Nashville to Los Angeles 10 years ago, I fell in love with the art of freezing time and special moments. Between the variety of people and styles and the unique landscapes scattered throughout this oceanside metropolis - I've felt nothing but grateful to soak up every taste of inspiration I find. This camera, these images...they're an extension of my heart and my soul being moved by small moments in time. By capturing these special moments for you, you're creating the most special moments for me. And for that, I thank you.
Fun Facts:
I'm an identical twin (And younger by 30 seconds! haha)
I'm a singer/songwriter deep in the throws of finally getting my first EP out into the world. I can't wait to share it with you!
Riding horses through open an pasture in Montana is maybe the closest thing I'll ever get to heaven on earth
