Hello! I’m Tina Ashton, the owner and photographer behind Expressions by Ashton.

I began my professional photography career in 2000 and opened Expressions in 2004, and let me tell you — it’s been a journey filled with countless giggles, smiles, and unforgettable moments ever since.

When you work with me, you can expect someone who is passionate, detail-oriented, optimistic, and just a little bit wild. My editing style is clean and timeless, allowing your photos to stand the test of time. While I absolutely love incorporating props (I have a fantastic collection), there’s something about a simple, solid backdrop that will always have a special place in my heart. I enjoy the art of capturing raw, authentic moments, whether it’s calming a newborn, wrangling a toddler, or helping a high school senior feel comfortable enough to truly express themselves.

While I’ve considered specializing in just one age group, I’ve found that the entire life cycle and the connections I build with clients of all ages is what truly fuels my passion for photography.

On a personal note, I’m happily married to Eric, my technical genius, and we’ve been together since 1997. In June 2006, we welcomed our daughter, Karma, followed by our second daughter, Sky, in 2008. With two kids, life quickly became both exciting and chaotic — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! (Though, I’ll admit, sometimes a break would be nice.)

As a mother, I’ve grown to cherish our family’s annual photography session as a way to pause and connect with one another. It’s a time to show our love, even amidst the craziness of everyday life. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to preserve these memories. Here’s a peek at some of my favorite family photos — moments I’ll treasure forever.

Give me a call, and let’s plan a session that celebrates your family and all the wonderful moments that make you who you are.

Warmly,
Tina Ashton
