ABOUT ASHLEIGH TAYLOR

Award Winning PHOTOGRAPHER & SPEAKER

I’m Ashleigh Taylor — a portrait photographer with over 15 years of experience helping people feel radiant, confident, and deeply seen.

I’ve photographed hundreds of clients from all walks of life — artists, healers, coaches, executives, mothers, entrepreneurs, and everyday women — each with their own story and vision. My goal is always the same: to create powerful, meaningful portraits that reflect your essence.

As an accredited Fellow with The Portrait Masters, my work has been internationally recognized with awards from PPA, SWPP, and One Eyeland. Since 2013, I’ve been personally trained by world-renowned photographer Sue Bryce, and in 2022 I became a certified Body Image Bootcamp Facilitator under the mentorship of photographer Teri Hofford.

I am deeply committed to helping humans find self-acceptance through the art of photography — and these outdoor sessions are designed to strip away the need for perfection, reconnect you with nature, and celebrate you exactly as you are.

FEATURED IN
Our Core values

  Empowerment, SOVEREIGNTY, And Joy In Every OUTDOOR PHOTOSHOOT

We believe every person deserves to be photographed with authenticity, respect, and celebration — no matter your age, size, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or background. We proudly stand for LGBTQIA+ rights, women’s rights, and the right to be seen exactly as you are. These sessions are intentionally raw and unfiltered — not about “fixing” you, but about honoring your sovereignty, self-worth, and natural beauty.

Each booking gives back a portion of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood, because we believe in healthcare access, body autonomy, and dismantling systems that seek to limit either. Our commitment is to create a safe, collaborative space where you are supported, celebrated, and truly seen. Arrive with openness, and we’ll meet you with full presence and artistry — let’s create portraits that feel aligned, powerful, and entirely your own.

EVERY OUTDOOR SESSION INCLUDES:

  • OUTDOOR LOCATION

  • GUIDED PHOTOSHOOT

  • POSING & DIRECTION

  • IMAGE SELECTION

  • UNFILTERED EXPERIENCE

  • GIVE BACK

MY OWN EXPERIENCE

I’ve Been Photographed UNFILTERED Too

I know firsthand how powerful it is to be photographed without professional hair, makeup, or heavy retouching. Allowing myself to be seen exactly as I am — surrounded by nature and connected to my truest self — has been both transformational and deeply grounding.

Though I’m known for my studio portraiture, these sessions grew from my own desire to explore that freedom and share it with others. I love giving people the chance to experience the same sense of authenticity, beauty, and self-acceptance that I’ve found in front of the camera.

THE CLIENTS I WORK WITH

Portraits For FREEDOM, Authenticity & Your UNTAMED ESSENCE

I work with two types of people:

Entrepreneurs / Brands – Especially those in wellness, spiritual, holistic, and creative industries who want imagery that reflects a wild spirit, authenticity, connection, and purpose.

Individuals – Anyone ready to reconnect with themselves, mark a life chapter, or celebrate their beauty exactly as it is. This is a shoot about radical self-acceptance — because embracing your true self is a powerful F-U to the patriarchy.

Entrepreneurs / BRANDS

A thoughtful outdoor experience that aligns your imagery with your values — wild, authentic, and rooted in truth. Perfect for wellness, spiritual, holistic, and creative industries seeking connection and purpose in every frame.

Soulful INDIVIDUALS

A transformative outdoor photoshoot that celebrates & showcases your natural beauty. Powerfully claim: “I am beautiful and enough, just as I am.” Be captured wild, unapologetic, and fully yourself.
