LifeSTYLE PHOTORAPHER

Hey, IM ASHley Smerber,

But everyone just calls me Smerb!

I believe the most beautiful moments are often the quiet, unplanned ones, and my passion is turning them into memories you can hold onto forever.

My style is warm, natural, and true to life capturing love, laughter, and all the little in-betweens that tell your story. If you’re looking for someone who will see you as you are and preserve that in timeless photographs, I’d be honored to capture your special moments.

My love for photography started at a young age, but really i really started to gain an appreciation during my high school photography class. I still have my Pentax film camera after all these years. Wow, i really aged myself there. Throughout the years I have experimented with all forms of media, design, and editing. I have a bachelors in Visual Communications which has given me the knowledge of tools to bring your imagery to life!

My approach

When I photograph, my goal is to make you feel completely at ease, like you’re spending time with a friend, not posing for a camera. I gently guide when needed, but I also step back to let genuine moments unfold naturally. I focus on capturing real connection, subtle details, and the emotions you’ll want to remember years from now. Every image is created with intention, blending natural light, thoughtful composition, and an eye for storytelling so your photos feel authentic, timeless, and truly yours.
