Hey, I'm Ashley
I'M LEARNING TO RISE FROM THE ASHES!
In 2023, my world was forever changed when I lost my best friend and the father of my children. In that moment of unimaginable grief, I made the heart-wrenching decision to put down my camera and close the doors of my photography business, Geneva Mae Photography, which I had lovingly nurtured for twelve years. At that time, I never imagined I would find the strength or passion to create again.
But through the unwavering love and support of my family, friends, and the power of prayer, I began to rediscover the beauty in life. Slowly, that spark I thought was lost was rekindled, and with it, my creative spirit began to rise once more. This journey of healing and growth gave birth to Rafferty & Grace; a name that honors both the past and the future, grounded in love, grace, and the promise of new beginnings.
Photography has always been a gift to me, a way to capture moments that transcend time. It's not just about taking pictures, it's about preserving your story, your love, and the moments that matter most. Every photograph is a chance to hold onto something fleeting, to remember what truly matters, and to share that legacy with future generations. Let me help you capture these precious memories so you and your family can look back and cherish the love that has shaped your journey.

"Ashley is amazing to work with. She is so down to earth and silly, guaranteed to make you laugh. Ashley does whatever it takes to get the best shots and I couldn't be happier that we decided to have her as our photographer. Our engagement shots came out AMAZING and I cannot wait to see what a great job she will do with our wedding photos."

Kaylee & gracie // Sportrait
"Rafferty & Grace was fantastic in our sportraits session! From start to finish, Ashley brought out the natural smiles and personalities of my twins. She somehow even captured their relationship through their softball photos. She made our session so fun and personal- she was even sure to know how to tell our identical twins apart, which made them feel seen and known. Excellent quality, incredible yet natural edits, Ashley created images that truly captured this fleeting moment in our lives. We will treasure these photos forever! "
