The woman behind the camera:

Ashleigh N. Locke

Well hello there, and WELCOME! I am a full-time photographer located out of good ole’ Kansas City, MO! It took me 10+ years of different jobs, several classes and courses, and some serious self reflecting before I found my home as a photographer. I absolutely LOVE what I do, getting to meet new people, helping loved ones share their stories, and being able to freeze moments in time. I'm super awkward, which is a plus for you because chances are I will make you laugh with some of the goofiness that spews out of my mouth!

Aside from photography, I’m a huge coffee drinkin, psychology enthusiast, tattoo addict, cosmetology and music lover. Bring me coffee, show me new music.. and I’m a happy camper! I will probably always mention that we meet up for coffee before/during a shoot!

I have an absolutely incredibly amazing and supportive husband, Jimmy, which whom I’ve been married to for a year. You can actually some times spot him WITH ME during you photo session! (He occasionally likes to tag along). If it weren’t for him pushing me every single day, and encouragement to do this.. I don’t know that I’d even be doing this! Along with the hubs, I have two amazingly care-free bonus babies, Hunter and Paislee. (You will ALWAYS see them being models for me, and they are absolutely already burned out on photos!) My family is my everything, and they are the reason I do what I do.

I would LOVE to meet about you, learn your story, and connect!

“We had our family pictures taken by Ashleigh with Captured & Locked Photography. They turned out better than i could have ever imagined. I wasn’t sure what exactly i was looking for, but Ashleigh was a true professional. She knew great places to have the photos taken, she worked fantastic with my husband and 6 year old daughter (who can be extremely difficult). She worked with us and coached us through out the entire process. The photos have turned out so amazing, we are very excited. I guarantee you Ashlei”
