Coastal Moments. Heartfelt Memories. Beautifully Captured.

Capturing the quiet magic of life between Mobile Bay and the Eastern Shore. I’m Ashley, the face behind the lens, and I believe every session is a story waiting to be told — whether that’s a couple sharing a laugh, a family embracing change, or a milestone you want to remember forever.

Rooted in beautiful Fairhope, Alabama, my approach is relaxed, genuine and tailored to you. I love natural light, meaningful connections and creating photographs that feel like you, not just a photo shoot.
Let’s explore your story together — I’ll bring the vision, you bring the smiles and personality.

Serving Fairhope & the surrounding Gulf-Coast communities.

Ashley Cantwell

Hi, I’m Ashley Cantwell, the photographer behind Between the Bays Photography. I’m a wife, a mom, and part of a beautifully blended family of seven — four energetic boys and one sweet baby girl. We moved to Fairhope, Alabama in November 2023, and instantly fell in love with the small-town charm, the community, and the water that surrounds us.

My photography journey began back in 2018 in Peachtree City, Georgia, where I discovered how much I love turning fleeting moments into lifelong memories. My goal is to capture real connection — the joy, the laughter, and the love that make your family uniquely yours.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me out on the boat with my family, fishing, enjoying a nice dinner, or snuggling our puppy (usually with chocolate close by!). I’m a Christian, and my faith is at the heart of everything I do — from worshiping Jesus in the car with my kids to finding beauty in the everyday moments He’s given us.

I can’t wait to meet you and help you preserve your family’s story — one photo at a time
