Let me tell you about my journey, it's worth reading. pinky swear.
I was adopted. I was born during the One-Child Policy in China and was put in an orphanage.
I was extremely ill and the orphanage was afraid they wouldn’t be able to care for me the way I needed medically, so they paired me with a couple who was adopting from the US who were both in the medical field and who could give me the treatment I needed. I am such a believer that what is meant to be will be and everything happens for a reason, and I live by that.
Family is everything to me.
I think the moments that hit my soul hard are those family moments.
The moments where your mom is zipping up your dress looking at you with such love in her eyes or when your partner can't hold back their tears watching you walk to them. Most of all, parent dances get me EVERY time because I pray that my dad will be able to have a father dance with me. My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 16 years ago. I have such an appreciation for all these once-in-a-lifetime moments on the wedding day; those are the moments I live for.
I have a different perspective on these moments:
I photograph weddings because I didn’t come from love.
Weddings are just that. A celebration of love with all of your closest friends and family. I am so honored that I get to capture and be a part of this for those I serve. There are so many parts of the wedding day that excite me, that just remind me why I love what I do every single day. Getting to know my couples, along with their friends and family truly make for the best memories.
My adoption story and upbringing have truly made me into such a family-oriented person, which is why I love weddings so much.
I came from the exact opposite, but I was given the chance to love and be loved. I was brought into such an amazing family that showed what it was like to be loved by others.

Hey, I'm Kinsley!
Hi friends! I'm Kinsley. I'm a wifey, a mama + a photographer and I am so excited to be an associate for Aislinn! I started my photography journey while living out in Arizona, and although it was beautiful out there, my husband got a job which relocated us here to Michigan. We are absolutely loving it though! One thing about me as a photographer, my goal is always to capture the stolen glances, giggles, and extra big grins that people save for their favorite person. I want to document your happiest + best moments ever!
Hi, I'm Shanea!
Hi friends, I'm Shanea! I'm a 25 year old, scorpio and introvert at heart. The best title next to photographer and girlfriend to my boyfriend, Dyland, is being a dog mom to my lil' aussie girl named Nova! She is my soul and ugh I'm just obsessed! I grew up in Toledo, OH but have been to Michigan for years and love it. I absolutely love photographing the love between couples and I am SO excited to be one of Aislinn's associate photographers!
Meet the Associates!
This is the perfect option if you absolutely LOVE my work but either I’m already booked for your date, or you are wanting MY look and style but for a slightly lower rate, Shanea, Kinsley, & Ashley are your girls! They are both so amazing, they both shoot with the same equipment as I do, shoot with the same style AND I edit all of the photos! You will be in contact with me for all of the coordinating + prepping and then either Shanea or Kinsley will show up to photograph your wedding day. The final images are picked and edited personally by me!
Hi, I'm Ashley!
Hey there! I’m Ashley. I’m a wife and momma. I’m a Scorpio, a Target enthusiast, and sort of an extroverted introvert. I love country music and a good margarita. I am super excited to embark on this journey with you as an associate with Aislinn! I first dipped my toes into professional photography when my son was born in 2013. Fun fact: I actually met Aislinn when she was living down in Florida and we shot a ton of weddings together and I got to photograph her & Joel’s engagement! I cannot wait to be one of Aislinn’s associates!
Hi! Okay, Kinsley here and I'm so excited that you're here!
Two people being in love is the best to witness but even more fun to capture.
Getting to adventure around on paths under trees or running barefoot in wide open fields just to watch two people not be able to hold back their smiles from each other is my favorite thing ever. When I’m not photographing my amazing couples you can catch me stealing kisses from my little boy or furbaby (or hubby)! I love being home with my family, soaking up each season - snow, rain or shine! We just moved here from Arizona so having a few more options then just shine has been a new and beautiful experience for us. Photography is the perfect getaway for some good ol’ “me time”. When people tell me I have a way of making them feel comfortable in front of a camera for the first time in their lives it makes me do a little happy-dance because helping couples capture their love story and making it fun absolutely fires me up. I am SO excited to be an associate for Aislinn and cannot wait to get to know some of YOU more!

Hi, I'm Shanea!
FIRST THINGS FIRST, MY NAME IS PRONOUNCED (SHANE-A), I GET THAT ALOT!
My dad's name is Shane and I was named after him, so they added an a at the end! Anyway, I’m 25, an introvert at heart and a dog momma to my Aussie, Nova. When i’m not photographing, i spend all my time adventuring and taking pictures of Nova and my boyfriend Dylan. Michigan has so many beautiful places and we absolutely love taking the afternoon to just go for walks or hikes to see new places! To be completely honest with you guys, I will never be the loudest person in the room, but i believe that’s why I’m a great photographer - I pick up on the little details and notice the small moments that mean the most, the moments others might overlook. I have always had a love for photography; I actually grew up reading books about epic love stories and now i get to photograph them which is the best! I am so excited to be an associate photographer for Aislinn and can't wait to get to know ya more!!

I love country music and a good margarita. I am super excited to embark on this journey with you as an associate with Aislinn! I first dipped my toes into professional photography when my son was born in 2013.I was so eager to capture all of his firsts and hold them captive forever. Pretty much immediately I knew this was my calling. A couple of years after opening my business, I started shooting weddings and fell in love. If I had to give a name to my photographic “style” I would say organic, raw, and real. For the last 6 and a half years we have been enjoying the beach life in the sunshine state, but we are ready to get back to our roots and show our kiddos what real Michigan country living is! I can’t wait to capture more memories and tell more stories like yours!

One of my favorite things to do is travel.
I absolutely love being able to adventure to new parts of the world, experience new cultures, foods and meet some incredible people. I've photographed weddings from Florida to Michigan to the West Coast to Hawaii and do a number of destination weddings each year!
