Our Story

Life moves by at an exceptional pace. When we are consumed by that speed, we fail to freeze the moments that matter most. Our mission at Ashton Rose Media is to help you stop, freeze time, and preserve your stories so you can share them forever.

The name of our business is deeply personal to us—it is a combination of our two daughters’ middle names. Long before we opened our doors to the public, the "Ashton Rose" journey began with them. Geoff spent years behind the lens at every event, milestone, and quiet moment, capturing not just our daughters’ lives, but those of their friends and community. This business grew out of a lifelong love for documenting the people who mean the most to us.

The Team Behind the Lens

We are Geoff and Janiece Leigh—a husband-and-wife team who believe that the best memories aren't always captured in a studio, but in the places that hold meaning for you.

Geoff - The Technical Expert & Composer: Geoff brings the technical backbone to our duo. With a deep expertise in photo composition, he knows exactly how to add depth and life to a scene. Beyond the creative frame, Geoff manages the complex "behind-the-scenes" technology—from advanced camera systems and lighting to secure image storage and professional editing. He ensures that every technical detail is seamless so the final product is flawless.

Janiece - The Energy & Detail Expert: Janiece is the heartbeat of every session. She knows that being in front of a camera can feel vulnerable, so she drives the conversation to create an atmosphere where you can be entirely yourself. She is the expert on the finer details—the hair, the posing, and the "vibe"—ensuring you look your best while the session flows naturally.

A True Partnership

Our process is collaborative from start to finish. We scout locations together, often bouncing ideas off one another to find the perfect backdrop for your story. Because we work as a synchronized team, we have the freedom to be more creative and adventurous.

We don’t just want to take your picture; we want to give you a moment of stillness in a fast-moving world. Whether it’s a family milestone or a personal portrait, we treat your story with the same care we’ve given our own family for years.
