just a Midwest livin', jesus lovin', momma

Well, my name is Aspin, and I’m a proud momma to my sweet little boy, Hotchner — he’s absolutely my world. I also have an amazing husband, Cameron, who always keeps me laughing. He’s even learning to second shoot with me, so you might meet him during your session!

I began my photography journey in 2013, focusing on sports photography, and I was fortunate enough to win several awards for my work during high school. In my senior year, I ventured into portrait photography as friends started asking for senior photos, and I’ve been on that path ever since. Like any journey, mine has had some ups and downs where photography had to take a back seat, photography has always remained a source of joy and creativity for me.

Hey Hey!

- Aspin

Becoming a mother has shifted my focus and inspired my next step — I dream of building my business around family photography, with a special emphasis on motherhood. Hotchner has truly been my biggest inspiration in this.

Based near Kansas City, I love serving families across the Midwest and capturing the heart of their stories. What I love most about photography is creating light, clean images that feel timeless. But more than that, I believe in giving you something tangible — a physical product that’s more than just a digital file, something you can hold, cherish, and pass down. My favorite part of designing albums is how they can capture the story within the moments — like seeing your little boy’s face light up as he runs into your arms, frozen in time across each page.

For me, there’s something so special about creating photo albums — they’re lasting heirlooms, designed to be passed down for generations, capturing the essence of your family’s journey.
