Photography That Feels Like You
Hey, I’m Ashley—though some people know me as NYKS behind the lens.
I’m a photographer with a love for real moments, natural light, and visual storytelling that feels. Whether I’m working with big brands, small businesses, or beautiful everyday families, my approach is the same: warm, collaborative, and human-first.
I don’t just take pictures—I hold space for people to show up as themselves, and then I capture that magic.
Who I Work With
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of working across the spectrum—from global brands and creative teams to families, individuals, and young professionals. Each session is crafted to meet the unique vibe, intention, and story of who’s in front of the lens.
Brand & Campaign Work – Editorial shoots, commercial photography, content creation, and visual storytelling for campaigns that want to feel alive and real.
Portrait & Lifestyle Sessions – One-on-one shoots for creatives, changemakers, and anyone craving a confident, relaxed image of themselves.
Family & Generational Photography – Honest, heart-centered imagery that captures the laughter, love, and real-life rhythm of your family.
Empowerment Shoots – For youth, women, and anyone stepping into a new chapter—often paired with life coaching for a layered, affirming experience.
My Style
Natural light. Clean edits. Honest expression.
Think golden-hour glow, wind-in-your-hair realness, candid joy, and editorial polish when needed. I’ll guide you just enough so you feel comfortable and confident, but never over-posed or over-staged. I want you to feel like you in your photos—just with a little extra glow.
How It Works
Sessions are easy and tailored to you. We chat beforehand to get aligned, then we meet on location (or virtually for creative direction), and let it unfold organically. Most shoots are around 1–2 hours, and you’ll receive a beautifully edited online gallery of high-resolution images to keep, share, or print.
Custom pricing is available for brand shoots and large-scale projects, while individual sessions typically start at $350.
Past Clients & Collaborations
From solo creatives to household brands, I’ve had the privilege of photographing:
Large scale companies and events
Nonprofits & youth-led orgs
Fashion and wellness brands
Established CEOS and executives
Families marking milestones
Artists, authors, celebrities, and movement-makers
And honestly? Some of my favorite images have come from everyday people just showing up to document a moment in time.
