Fields, sunlight, and the simple beauty of going home.
During my recent trip back home, I had the chance to meet up with Ashley for an impromptu golden hour shoot among the open fields and farmland in the area. The air was warm, the light was soft, and the world seemed to slow down just long enough for us to create something timeless.
Ashley brought the perfect mix of natural charm and ease to the session. Surrounded by tall grass, dirt paths, and the gentle glow of the sinking sun, she blended seamlessly with the country backdrop. We chased the last rays of daylight, letting them spill across her hair and frame her in soft, warm tones.
The resulting images feel like a love letter to small-town evenings. They’re simple, unhurried, and quietly beautiful. For me, they’re not just portraits of Ashley, but snapshots of home itself.
