Traverse City Birth Photographer and Doula

I'm Ash, the face (and heart) behind Wild Womb Photography. I’m obsessed with capturing the real, raw moments of birth and parenthood—because, let’s face it, you just made a tiny human, and that’s pretty freaking amazing! My love for photography kicked off with old thrift store cameras, but it was the birth of my own kids that reignited my passion for storytelling through images. Those first moments of meeting them? Pure magic. And the photos I have? They’re time capsules that take me right back.

Now, as a certified birth and postpartum doula, I bring so much more than just a camera. I’m all about helping you feel empowered, proud, and completely supported through your journey. Whether you need someone to capture that life-changing moment or just be there with a calming presence, I’m in your corner every step of the way.

At Wild Womb Photography, it’s all about keeping it real. I offer sessions from birth and maternity to sweet, sleepy newborn shoots—and if you need extra support, I’ve got you covered with doula services too. My goal? To give you photos that reflect the magic of your journey—no forced smiles, just real, beautiful moments that you’ll look back on and think, Damn, I did that!

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me exploring the great outdoors in Traverse City and beyond, hiking, camping, or hanging out with my awesome family. If you’re expecting or already navigating the wild ride of parenthood, I’d be honored to help you capture these incredible moments. Let's make some magic together!
