Testimonials

Working with Ashton was such a breeze and I don’t say that lightly. As a stage actor and teacher with over 30 years of experience, I’ve had countless headshots taken. this one was refreshingly smooth, professional, and even enjoyable. I’ve never worked with a photographer who had his space set up so efficiently and artistically. He offered so many creative possibilities in such a short amount of time. We sat down together right after the shoot and chose the best images in real time. It was clear, collaborative, and surprisingly enjoyable. Ashton brings authenticity, ease, and artistry to a process that can often feel anything but—and his professionalism ties it all together beautifully. Highly recommend.

Wow Ashton was great and clearly a professional. The shoot was done efficiently and the photos came out amazing. I highly recommend Esteem Headshots, A+ experience!

Ashton's work style is a wonderful balance of approachability and professionalism, allowing for both creative freedom and polished results. Ashton prioritizes client comfort and understands the potential awkwardness of being photographed. His welcoming demeanor immediately puts you at ease. He is also highly respectful of time, managing sessions efficiently and patiently, ensuring a stress-free experience. Without any hesitation, I give Ashton my highest recommendation. Five stars all around!

"Ashton was wonderful to work with. I came to his studio with a few looks in mind and ended up with a few more looks thanks to his guidance and expert opinion. It is clear that he is very skilled with loads of experience and enjoys what he does by putting my at ease. I enjoyed the collaborative process and appreciated his professionalism."

I had the pleasure working with Ashton for a "lifestyle/fitness" shoot. He is one of THEE best photographers I have EVER worked with. From the coconut water, coffee, the great music, and the lighting I couldn't have asked for nothing better. I am SUPER excited to see my photos.

Ashton is very knowledgeable and helpful on actor headshots. I had my first set of commercial shots ever done and he was able to help bring out the joy and smiles I needed to look marketable in the acting world, where others have failed. He is super friendly and I recommend anyone looking for photographs to get them taken from him!

Ashton knows exactly how to keep a photo shoot fun and exciting. He keeps the pace of the shoot moving because he knows what he is doing. His studio has all the equipment to make an amazing photo of anyone! Everything was so organized. If you are just starting in the industry or just want to be photographed BOOK HIM!!! His photos SPEAK VOLUMES!!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ashton in his photography studio. He was professional, experienced in his technical skills, and knows how to direct a photography session. His personable approach easily brings out the best in my so that a multitude of shots with various poses, facial expressions and background are created in my session.

We went to Ashton for family photographs and a professional portrait. . His eye for lighting and color was spot-on and took little time to set up. Ashton had my entire family laughing the whole time, capturing both staged and candid moments at their best. The portrait he took will be my bio picture probably for the rest of my life, and we can’t wait to share the family pictures with everyone.

Ashton is a real professional. The photos came out great! I had a great experience working and with him. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs headshots for work or personal use.
