Aspen Smitha Photography
A place where dreamers run wild & free
From my earliest memories, I had a passion to create and share stories with the world. My storytelling journey took various forms throughout the years. Through avenues like journalism club and yearbook class, I honed my skills in crafting compelling narratives and capturing moments that mattered.
It was when I got my hands on my mom's camera that my love for photography began to take root. I'd bring it with me on trips to capture the landscape and wildlife, had endless photoshoots with friends, and made my little brother my very own model (older sibling love at its finest).
Christmas of 2020 I was gifted my very own camera and this past Christmas my husband bought me a new one! My gear collection has multiplied and my love for photography has grown beyond just taking pictures. I love scouting for new locations, connecting with my clients, editing images to perfection, and of course- telling your story.
Meet Your
Photographer
My name is Aspen, and I'm a 21-year-old stay-at-home mom, caring for my 2-year-old snack bandit whom just learned how to walk. My husband and I will celebrate our third year together in September. We have two cats, Zeus and Athena, and a French Bulldog named Hazel. When I'm not working on my photography business, we're most likely to be walking as a family around the nearby park or completing tasks on the ever-growing list of to-dos for our renovated house.
The journey of motherhood has been both a profound and emotional one for me. Our eldest son, Beckham, was born prematurely at 24 weeks, and spent 105 days in the TMH NICU. Our second son, Lincoln, arrived even earlier at 21 weeks, and we were heartbreakingly unable to bring him home. These experiences have made me cherish every moment and instilled even more of a desire to capture life's fleeting moments through my camera. Both of my sons are my inspiration. They've taught me to never take life for granted, to seize every moment, and to gather the courage to pursue my dream of starting my own photography business. Through them, I've discovered the incredible power of photography to preserve memories, celebrate life, and tell the stories that matter most.
I hope to have the opportunity to tell your story, whether it's filled with moments of sheer beauty, profound joy, heart wrenching sadness, or a powerful combination of all these emotions. Life is woven with threads of varying shades and textures, and it's in the diverse experiences and emotions that our stories truly come to life. I aim to capture the essence of your journey, preserving the moments that define it, so you can hold onto them for a lifetime. Each photograph becomes a chapter in your unique story, and I can't wait to help you tell it, one image at a time.
