Bonjour. Hello. 

My name is Ashley, and I’m from Southern Louisiana but living in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m 100% Cajun if you were curious. Yes, I actually grew up with a bayou in our backyard, and I do have all of my teeth. We exist! I went to Louisiana State University (GEAUX TIGERS!) in the early 2000’s, and I’ve lived in a few other places since then, including Memphis, Tennessee and Los Angeles, California. 

I went to school for Graphic Design, and design is what I love and have as a full time job. However, I have always loved to cook, and now have dove heart first into food photography to document my mostly-Cajun inspired recipes and always trying new recipes.

So where do we start? Just so there is a transparency, I do all of my creative writing for my Instagram posts. I have been asked by Brands to write social posts in congruence with the food. My writing is humor based, but not exclusively.

If we were to work together, it would be established from the beginning what is expected of me, and what I require from you. If that involves writing. I’m here for you.

When it comes to styling, I have a large variety of props, backgrounds and utensils. Styling isn’t hindered by just props, there’s always the ingredients on their own to let the food shine. Feel free to send me an email requesting rates and packages for any future projects.
