Photography Services:

  • Wild Ashes Photography

    My goal as a photographer is to capture what makes you authentically you. My job is to tell your story as an individual, couple or family by choosing a meaningful place or activity and capturing candids or the little moments. It doesn't feel like a photo shoot. We here to have fun and get messy while taking beautiful photos. ..... I also do engagements, weddings, births, boudoir, and just about anything you can think of. I've been in business since 2014 and shooting weddings since 2017.

    I shoot more on the moodier side. Pricing is custom quotes and I work within budgets.

Bodywork:

  • Fort Wayne Rolfing

    Rolfing Structural Integration is a holistic approach to bodywork that focuses on improving overall well-being through manipulation of the body's connective tissues. By addressing imbalances in the fascia, or the body's web-like network of connective tissue, Rolfing aims to enhance posture, flexibility, and overall structural alignment. The practice involves a series of sessions that gradually reorganize and balance the body, fostering greater ease of movement and improved body awareness.

    Experience Rolfing with a free Intro session. This allows you to explore the benefits and decide if you would like to schedule a full session at your convenience.
