Welcome! I’m
so glad you’re here.

I’m Ashlee—writer, photographer, and ultimate hype girl for all things motherhood & creativity. When I’m not writing or vacuuming Cheerios out of the carpet, I love making friends on the Internet, eating cereal for dinner, and rearranging bookshelves.

It’s here!

Create Anyway is officially out in the world!

What if you could pursue your God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment of both experiences? What if you stopped viewing creativity as a selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own flourishing as a mother? 

My Work

Coffee + Crumbs

Eighteen months into motherhood, fatigued by catty comment sections, clickbait articles, and blog posts pushing $800 diaper bags, God dropped a dream in my heart for something different: a pure, honest place for mothers to share stories with one another. No divisiveness, no listicles, no advice. No flashing ads; no sponsored content. Just raw, vulnerable stories.

Let me help you remember your life.

I'm a storyteller by nature, and photography allows me to tell your story, a gift I do not take lightly. My favorite sessions are the ones where we open the windows and make a mess and jump on the bed and lick cookie dough off the spoon.

Contact

I try to respond to every single message I receive in my inbox, but I also try to be nice to my family, and sometimes I can’t do both. Thank you for understanding! Business hours vary depending on the day/week/preschool calendar/basketball schedule/general sanity of our house.
