Ashleigh Taylor Portrait
Ashleigh began her career in Los Angeles as a wedding photographer and has since moved to Santa Barbara and focuses on portraits of all sorts (headshots, boudoir, family, personal branding). She credits her mentor, Sue Bryce, with helping her hone her skills and mature in her craft.
Evolving Passion
From this beginning, Ashleigh’s passion has been to empower women who feel uncomfortable in front of a camera. She strives to give them confidence, and capture their essence on film. She finds the rhythms of business and personal life changes with seasons and with family nearby, she is able to flux with demands. Her involvement with The W Source has opened up a two-way network, connecting her with women in the demographic she serves, as well as giving her valuable resources to share with her clients.
Celebrating Older Women
As a way to further invite community into her business, Ashleigh is working on an exciting project. Honoring an age-bracket often overlooked, ‘50 Over 50’ celebrates local women by offering them the experience to be celebrated & seen through portraits, as well as an opportunity to share their stories. She hopes to complete this project later this year.
