I’m Ashley Bonning, my husband, Bradley, and I have had the joy of working side by side as photographers for the past 7 years. We have had the opportunity to photograph and meet so many amazing people all over the country! Bradley is a true wearer of many hats. He runs his own marketing agency, is an incredible husband and father, the best “getter of things,” and, of course, a photographer here at Southern Oak & Co. He likes to stay busy, to say the least!

 

Our two boys, Henry (8) and Hudson (4), are the heart and soul of our family and often, our most spontaneous (and occasionally bribed) photography subjects. They fill our lives with endless wonder, curiosity, and, yes, dirt why are boys always so dirty? We also have our sweet, gentle fur baby, Charley, who loves the camera almost as much as we do.

 

When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll find me supporting new moms and their precious babies in postpartum care—another passion that’s led me to begin photographing this special stage of life as well. I truly believe there’s no greater honor than capturing beautiful memories for beautiful people, and we can’t wait to create magic together!
