Peaceful Beginnings Photography - Edmonds, Washington

I am so grateful to have found Ashley at Peaceful Beginnings. She took newborn photos of our beautiful girl and was blown away. From the start Ashley was responsive and kind. She asked what color palette we wanted and took it from there. She provided all the outfits and props. Her inventory was gorgeous, tasteful, and extensive. I’m certain she has something for just about everything and everyone. She handled our fresh little baby with such gentle care. As a new mom without much experience handling newborns, I was in awe of how she ever so carefully manipulated my daughter into different poses and expertly wrapped and unwrapped her like a present in while she snoozed away.

These photos are some of my most prized possessions and look so beautiful on our walls. My daughter will turn one in a couple of weeks and we’ll be seeing Ashley again for some milestone pictures. We plan on using her for family photos as well for years to come. Thank you Ashley! Your talent and creative vision is a gift.

We've had Ashley take pictures a few times- newborn, holiday, family session and mini milestone. She has been so great to work with each time and has captured such amazing pictures! I'm incredibly impressed with the photos she takes. I highly recommend her for any and all family pictures, newborn pictures. You will be so happy with the quality of images she takes and how easily children will smile AND cooperate with her.

If I can give all the accolades in the world for Ashley I would! Ashley photographed my baby’s smash cake photos and she more than exceeded my expectations. She is so creative, and attentive and she worked so well with my baby who had been in a car for 1 hour and didn’t have a nap (worth the drive). I got photos of a joyful baby who loved interacting with her!

Ashley designed the background and the set for Elara’s photoshoot and its beautifully done! I gave her the kind of vibe I want and sent some Pinterest photos and she created a set that was ABSOLUTELY stunning!

Ashley is super communicative and warm and extremely talented. We are so happy with her work and look forward to continuing to work with her!!

BEST family photographer EVER. Ashley dealt with my crazy 4yo and fussy newborn with grace. We have had a few photographers over the year as well as a newborn shoot with a different photographer, and hands down you can tell the difference. Ashley is organized. Ashley is super well prepared and knows exactly how’s to get the babies calm and relaxed for beautiful photos. I especially loved how clean she was, constantly washing her hands and wiping things down as we went. HIGHLY, highly recommend.

Loved working with Ashley for my little one’s milestone and cake smash pictures. The pictures are gorgeous, she captured everything I was looking for. I didn’t have to worry about the cake or the amazing background. I just shared a theme and she took care of everything. She is a great photographer, very professional, punctual and was kind enough to accommodate a few family shots too. Will definitely work with her again.

If I have to describe my experience getting a newborn shoot for my 14 days old, I would say - "AMAZING". I contacted Ashley through a friend's referral who had got their newborn shoot done by Ashley 1.5 years ago. Was fortunate to call her on Saturday and get an appointment on the very next Monday. From day 1 of contacting her, she was very responsive, communication was clear and transparent in terms of what to expect and not expect from the shoot.

She was gracious to receive us when we arrived and as a mom of new born I was a little nervous and anxious about how she would handle my 14 days old son, but GOD ! She was amazing. Her experience being an awesome photographer combined with a mom of 4 kids all in one pack was reflected as soon as I handed over my son to her.

Given our really bad experience while getting my elder one's new born shoot, I was double conscious this time in making sure not only the environment where baby was being photographed was nice n clean, but the hands handling her were nice n gentle too. Ashley had impressed her in first 30 mins of the session.

We spent 4 hours in the studio getting family n newborn pictures and the whole experience was simply amazing !!

I have 4 close friends in CA who are going to deliver between Oct n March. I wish I could get them to Ashley for getting their little babies photographed.

I will definitely see her again for different milestone n occasional photo shoots. Would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a gentle and warm experience for their new born photography !

You can't get better than her for sure !

Ashley took my maternity pics and newborn pics for my son. Here are a few reasons why we absolutely love her:
She was super sweet. She talked to us, asked us what style/color theme we wanted.
She has A LOT of different of baby outfits, backgrounds, color themes!
She makes the environment very comfortable and safe for the newborn shots. The room is warm and cozy. For some postures, she makes sure parents supervise to ensure the safety of the newborn.

We would totally recommend her to our friends, and I plan to go back to her for our future babies.

We LOVED working with Ashley at Peaceful Beginnings. We did a full newborn photoshoot and a mini maternity shoot in her home studio. She was professional, the space was well setup and clean and she provided all props for the newborn photos. It was like magic watching her work with our newborn to create some really special moments that we can keep forever! I would highly recommend her if you are expecting and looking for newborn photographer on the Eastside!
