We knew Liv and Spencer's session was going to be something special the moment they showed up—her in a denim dress and cowboy boots, him in jeans, a crisp white shirt, and a black cowboy hat (which Liv definitely borrowed for a few photos).

Liv and Spencer have known each other since they were ten years old, but didn’t start dating until college, after Liv moved to Florida and Spencer flew down to ask her to be his girlfriend. (We’re not crying, you are.)


They've been together for almost three years now and love spending time outside together, whether it’s fishing, biking, playing volleyball, or just relaxing on a patio. When asked to describe their vibe in three words? Silly, fun, and sweet and that couldn’t have been more true during their session.

Leading up to the shoot, Liv said they were excited but started to feel a little nervous right before. But any nerves disappeared once Ashley started shooting. She made the whole session feel relaxed and fun, and even managed to make them laugh by joking that Spencer better get a ring on Liv’s finger soon. From spinning in the sunset to the way Spencer looked at Liv every time she laughed, the whole evening felt like a scene straight out of a country love story.

A Note from Liv + Spencer

“Absolutely loved our experience! Ashley created such a comfortable environment and was so personable. Her sense of humor made it easy for us to be ourselves, and we felt like we were just hanging out rather than posing for photos. The nature setting was perfect, and we’re so excited to see the pictures!”


Liv and Spencer, you two brought so much joy and warmth to this session. Thank you for letting us capture a little piece of your story; we’re obsessed with your gallery and can’t wait to share more soon!
