Hi, I'm Ashley.

I believe photographs become more valuable with time. After losing my daughter, Carter, at three years old, the photographs I have of her became some of my most treasured possessions. They're pieces of a life I can still hold onto - her smile, her personality, and the love that filled our days.

Carter Alivia Photography was created in her honor and from a desire to give others what photographs have given me: a way to preserve the people, seasons, and little moments we never want to forget.

My approach is heartfelt and natural, focused less on perfection and more on connection - creating timeless images that feel like you and become more meaningful with every passing year.

“Ashley was amazing! Our pictures are everything I wanted and more. She was professional, fun, and with a super fast turn around time. I couldn't recommend her more and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

For the Love That Remains

A laughing little girl runs with arms wide open toward a woman on a sandy beach with driftwood in the background.

Carter is more than the name behind my photography - she is the heart behind it. Her life taught me just how precious our ordinary moments become, and her love continues to shape the way I see, remember, and photograph the people in front of me.

Through Carter Alivia Photography, her legacy lives on in more than photographs - it lives in the love we choose to preserve and the ways we give back in her name.
