About Me
Ash & Thistle specializes in luxury boudoir photography, fine art fantasy portraits, & newborns in Ohio & Michigan.
I know what it’s like to feel unseen. To crave something deeper, something that reminds you of who you are beneath the layers of daily life. That’s why I do this.
Photography saved me it became the mirror I needed, the proof that beauty, strength, and story exist in every frame. Now, I create that experience for you. Whether through the intimacy of boudoir or the magic of fine art fantasy, my sessions aren’t just about photos. They’re about seeing yourself in a way you never have before.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
You don’t need to change.
You just need to show up.
I’ll take care of the rest.

Best way to bring out some confidence?! Get a shoot with Ash!!! I have struggled with my body for years (even before having kids). This is the biggest I've been (aside from being pregnant) and I did not like myself at all!!! I pushed myself to go to one of Ash free shoot over the summer and it felt amazing cuz every single person was absolutely amazing!!!! Then I won a small session with her and it help me that much more💕💕💕 I cannot wait until things are in place for me to have my own long session with Ash!!! If the short session was a example of what a long session is, OH my gosh!!! She goes above and beyond for you and I felt like I was just hanging with a friend!!!

Ash and I had a great time laughing with her cat while snapping pictures, she's so great at keeping a comfortable atmosphere and making you feel confident about yourself at the same time!
