Ashlyn Taulbee Photography

PORTLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

These days are moving faster than you think. Let's make sure you remember how they felt.

Begin Your Experience

For the mother who knows these seasons won't last.

You're in the thick of it. The chaos, the tenderness, the small hands and loud laughs and quiet moments you wish you could bottle up. You already know how fast it goes.
I'm here to help you slow down and actually feel it.
I'm Ashlyn, and I genuinely believe the most beautiful photographs aren't the perfectly posed ones. They're the ones that feel honest. The ones that feel like you. Whether we're chasing golden hour in a wildflower field or documenting the way your baby sleeps in your arms at home, I want to create images that move you every single time you look at them.

Outdoor golden hour sessions. Intimate in-home documentaries. Film and digital photography for families who want images that last for generations.
A lot of families put off booking because it feels like one more thing on the list. I get it. But here's what I want you to know — a session with me is not something to check off. It's something actually to look forward to.

Your Story, Beautifully told.

I'm a mama, a gardener, and I genuinely believe the most important photographs you'll ever own are the ones of your everyday life. I shoot on film and digital because I want your images to feel as timeless as the moments inside them.

More About Me

I'm Ashlyn, a Portland Family and motherhood photographer

Timeless · Honest · Heartfelt · Heirloom · Real · Beautiful · 

A gallery on your phone is wonderful. A print on your wall or in your hands is a legacy too.

Your children deserve to grow up seeing themselves loved. They deserve to one day hold a photograph of you, really you, in this season of life, and feel the weight of it. I believe in printed photographs not just as decor but as heirlooms. As proof that this life was beautiful and intentional and worth remembering.

Every session includes guidance on turning your images into artwork that actually lives in your home, not just on a screen.

Photos are meant to be held.

What to expect when you work with me:

From the moment you reach out, I'll walk alongside you. We'll talk wardrobe, location, how to actually prepare your kids so the session feels relaxed and real. During our time together I'll offer gentle direction while leaving plenty of space for the in-between moments. The ones that end up being your favorites.
You'll walk away feeling like you just had a really good family day. The images will prove it.
