ashley scheider is a seattle family and elopement photographer and this is her about me photo

Hi, i’m Ashley

I’ve been photographing all the things for over 10 years and was immediately obsessed. I got my start while pregnant, praciticing every day by teaching my dog how to smile. once my kids were born, it was full bore-don’t put the camera down ever.
i love having fun during my shoots. i have first hand experience of being photographed and loathe it more than elphaba and glinda loathe each other at the beginning of wicked.humor and fun help take the pressure off of you and shift the focus on what is most important-capturing this specific moment in time.
I am most passionate about lifestyle family photography, capturing emotion, fun and joy during my sessions, as well as in the wild. But I believe that for a lot of us, our home is where we can be our most authentic selves. Sweatpants and all. I want to photograph you in a place that is most meaningful to you and your family, and to create an authentic and fun experience you’ll always remember. Let’s create a little bit of artistic chaos together!

We hired Ashley for our elopement on Valentine’s Day I will say as people who are shy, and have a hard time getting comfortable with people we had no issues with Ashley. She takes the time to get to know you as a person, your personality, and even your insecurities. Ashley’s warm, friendly, fun personality will truly open you up! She creates such a fun, inviting session that you’ll feel like you’ve known eachother for years. Ashley’s quality of work is truly above and beyond. She takes great pride in making sure her clients are happy walking away at the end of the day. I am forever thankful we hired Ashley not only because her work is beautiful but because we found our long time photographer and friend from now on. If you are in the search for a high quality photographer who you won’t just be another client to I highly recommend Ashley!

Ashley has done our family photos and I can’t recommend her enough, especially if you love outdoor photos! Her photos capture joy and authenticity. She is wonderful with kids (and my kids aren’t always easy to capture!) and she makes everyone feel comfortable (so many laughs) while still being professional. She’s our favorite photographer for family pics!!

Christina M
Family Photo Client

I’ve told her before, and I’ll keep saying it for everyone to hear, Ashley is a freaking magical nature fairy queen with a camera! We love her whole aesthetic and she has always delivered. Our family has worked with Ashley for maternity photos and family photos and we get compliments on them all the time and will treasure them forever. She managed to help erase some of my photo insecurities (only Ashley could get me to pose for this photo and actually love it) AND is also perfect with “wild” children and “grumpy” husbands. 😉 Can’t say enough good things about this woman!

Abby L
Family and Maternity Photos

Ashley has been our family photographer for the past 6 years and has always captured our moments even better than I could’ve imagined. She makes you feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She is also the best with kids which is amazing when you have a wild toddler!

Ashley made my family portrait dreams come true. I couldn’t love my portraits more than I do. She brought out all the best smiles, laughter, and love.
As a fellow photographer, I understand the process and rate her 5/5 from start to finish.
She has a truly incredible eye.
Just book her. You won’t be disappointed.

Ashley’s skill for photography is unmatched! She makes taking photos fun even for the dads who sometimes reluctantly come with😂 and the photos that come out of the fun adventure we put in a frame every single time!!
We are so thankful for a fun, incredible photographer to capture our family throughout the years! Highly highly recommend!!!

Andi
family photography client

I got married back in 2022 and she was our photographer. She was so laid back, followed our photo list and was so fun to work with. Ashley is amazing at her work. She takes her time editing and keeping us updated.
I will for sure be recommending her ❤️

Amanda I
Wedding Client

Ashley is an outstanding photographer and person. I have the pleasure of working alongside her as she photographs elopements at Treehouse Point. She is an artist and creates unique and fun experiences for every couple in the trees. Hire her! You will be so grateful you did! ❤️

Ashley is a true professional and goes above and beyond for her clients and making them happy. She is a great wedding / event photographer and I might argue she should be a sports photographer after seeing her work at our recent golf event!
