Doing events! I even photograph celebrities!

ABOUT ME!

Hi, I’m Ashley! I am a Chicagoland-based photographer and founder of Open Door Photography, LLC. My work blends artistic intuition with technical precision to create emotionally resonant, visually
striking images.

I specialize in off-camera flash photography, often to enhance depth and drama. Whether I am timing a train along the Chicago Riverwalk with Emmet Smith from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child or photographing an meet-and-greet event for Artists in Wonderland, I approach every shoot with a clear vision and strong understanding of exposure, composition, and most importantly… CONNECTION!!

Every photoshoot is guided—built on trust, story, and a dash of MAGIC! My goal is not just to take a photo, but to capture the energy of the moment in a technically sound, beautifully crafted image. From events to even celebrities, I am dedicated to capturing your best moments. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
