Meet Ashley..

Welcome to Rae of Light Photography! Named that way because my middle name is Rae. Please allow me this time to tell you about myself. I grew up in a very small town called Colesburg, Iowa. I moved to Dubuque in 2005 for college. In 2008 I stepped way out of my comfort zone and moved to Hollywood, California. However, I only lasted there for a short time. It just wasn't for me. I do still have some really great friends out there though!

​

I strive to make your experience with me not only wonderful but also unique to you and who you are as a person. I get to know everyone I work with on a personal level. I always put 100% of myself into every photo session that I do! I do not rush the editing process. 

​

I shoot on location. I will one day have my own studio, but I do not right now. I currently live in Dubuque again, but this time I live with my own family!  My husband and I have quite the full house! A know-it-all 13 year old, a laid-back 7 year old, and a 2 year old who one day thinks he's a dinosaur and the next a Ninja Turtle. Oh, and not to mention we also have two cats, a Siamese (Owen) and a black cat (Maizie), and two dogs, a Golden Retriever (Roman) and a beagle (Bayley).

I added photos of our pets in the slideshow above this text if you would like to see their beautiful faces :)
