Sapphic Love on Film with Aubrey & Chloe

Aubrey and I have been connected for many years…we’ve seen each other shift and shed. I was so happy when she invited me to take portraits of an evening in the garden-flower-play-porch hummingbird world with she and Chloe and the Practical Magic soundtrack on repeat.

This is sapphic love with Aubrey and Chloe…

CLIENT REVIEW:

Her warmth and curiosity created a container for the session to flow with ease. She was very communicative about her process, and was patient with the weather, lighting, and shifts of the hour we spent together. I love being seen by Ash.”- Aubrey
