BASED IN TEXAS

MEET ASHLEY

I am emotionally driven when it comes to all my creative spaces. I want you to be able to see your glowing face when looking at your spouse, or the warmth that radiates off of you when you hear your child's laugh. All the moments that may seem small at the time, but have big meaning later on.

The details that are overlooked on a daily basis are the things I pick up on to help you see the beauty that is YOU.

ABOUT ME // SECTION 01

If you're a down-to-earth, go with the flow, hopeless romantic, lover of warmth, light, love, dancing to music in the desert, not afraid to get your dress dirty or be your natural self kind of person, we're going to get along just fine ;)

CAPTURING YOUR HONEST LOVE STORY

My name is Ashley, but you can call me Mina! I am a first generation Mexican American who has lived and loved in West Texas my entire life. I am sentimental and emotional. I love my people with all I have. I’ve always had a love for preserving and remembering all the little moments in life, from drying flowers to keep from birthdays and holidays to writing down the one liners I’ve heard from people I’ll never see again. Every moment is special to me. The way the light shines through the trees, the way my child giggles; “believe me, nothing is trivial.”

I’m a homebody who occasionally goes out for a few drinks and to enjoy the company of friends. I love meeting new people and all the new experiences that come with it.

I’m a mom of 1 and contemplating baby number 2, that typically changes every hour of the day because being a mom is tough. 😂
