Maternity, But Make It a Vibe | Kim & Jordan at Kure Beach
When I say we threw the rulebook out for this maternity session, I mean it.
Kim and Jordan didn’t want the typical posed, pastel, soft-focus maternity photos that flood Pinterest.
They wanted something real. Something that felt like them.
We hit Kure Beach with one mission: make art.
My mission is to always make something new, something that is different.
Kim wore this stunning blue dress that moved like water itself — the ocean, the sky, the whole damn day felt like it was built around her.
And instead of chasing golden hour “perfection,” we brought out the flash, leaned into the drama, and captured something electric.
It wasn’t quiet. It wasn’t traditional.
It was alive.
Kim trusted me completely — to push past the ordinary, to create something that actually felt like their energy.
And honestly?
The final gallery might be some of my favorite maternity work ever.
(Also, when Kim texted me “I can’t stop looking at these,” I might’ve actually teared up.)
“Ashely is THE BEST! Plain and simple! My family and I had our very first photo shoot together with her and she captured every single moment so beautifully! ❤️ Not only does her work speak for itself, she has a personality that will light up any room! Ashley made us laugh and ultimately feel super comfortable too! She made the shoot really fun and helped us with different ideas and types of pictures we could do together. SHE KNOWS HER STUFF ALRIGHT!!!
I also love the fact that we had an initial call together to make sure things were going to be the right fit and within 2 minutes of the call I already knew that I wanted to use her. She is a phenomenal photographer! I love her passion for photography! My family is going to cherish these photos forever!!!! Thank you soooo soooo much Ashley!!!”
If you’re craving maternity photos that are different —
that feel like you, not a Pinterest checklist —
I’m your girl.
