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. Most sessions feel like a heavy lift on both sides, but this one was refreshingly smooth, professional, and even enjoyable. One thing that really stood out: 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. And then, rather than the usual routine of waiting for digital proofs, spending days clicking through tiny thumbnails, and going back and forth before anything is finalized, we sat down together right after the shoot and chose the best images in real time. It was clear, collaborative, and surprisingly enjoyable. Ashton supported without steering, and I ended up choosing four that I really liked. His typical turnaround is already impressive—usually 24 to 48 hours—but this time, the images were delivered within just a few hours. I couldn't believe it! 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 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!

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.
