We are Ashley (left) and Jeremy (right) and WE ARE THE PARSONS.

We are co-conspirators, co-dreamers, co-parents, co-jokesters and storytellers deeply committed to making photographs and films that tell the truth.

We believe the best images capture the wide range of human emotion, experience, movement, and existence. We never shy away from the moments that are the most real, no matter if they are seemingly boring or breathtaking. Whether working individually and as a unit, we love capturing those moments that are unscripted and unrepeatable, the ones you might otherwise forget.  

For 13 years we have been telling stories of love, marriage, family, birth, and all the moments in between with our cameras pressed to our faces. It’s one of our greatest honors to do this for a living, to capture people’s most important moments all over the world, from Alaska to Africa and hundreds of stops in the middle. And as respected guides in the industry, we have taught at photography workshops and conferences from Australia to Ireland to Sweden and back again.  

Here’s the thing: Even though we have loved every destination and each new stamp in our passports, we are just as happy at your grandmother’s house in Missouri as we have been at the edge of the Baltic Sea. For us, it’s not about place. It’s about the people. We are in pursuit of human stories of love and connection. We seek to witness real life, growth, emotion, and resilience. For us, it’s about the way you feel when you see your memories and loved ones through a lens that makes perfect sense. It’s about you.
