About Hint of Whimsy
What started as a simple love for storytelling has grown into a cozy little haven where families can slow down, breathe, and soak in the sweetness of their newest chapter. Our approach is gentle and heartfelt:
connection over perfection
softness over stiff posing & rushed checklists
images that feel like warm memories rather than staged moments
The Heart Behind the Whimsy
Ashley Duchsherer, photographer
Ashley is the official memory-keeper and baby-whisperer! As the lead photographer at Hint of Whimsy Photography, you’ll often find her behind the camera, tangled in yarn and lace, or chasing after her pup Sophi and her boys, Holden & Theo. When she’s not capturing magic for families, Ashley and her husband find joy in laughter, faith, and quiet moments together. Her favorite place? Snuggled up at home with all her boys, enjoying warm afternoons outdoors or peaceful mornings filled with paintbrushes and imagination.
Aaron Hughes, marketing & social media
It’s safe to say that Aaron has a knack for turning nothings into somethings! She orchestrates the chaos of emails, scheduling & social media for Hint of Whimsy Photography. If it needs doin’, she’s likely already got it on the to-do list! A full-time wife, mom to one mischievous ten-year-old, and Student Activities Coordinator at Minot State University, she’s happiest being busy! Aaron is known to pick up a camera here and there, but you’ll usually find her fixing stray hairs, playing peekaboo with your littles or hand picking the perfect prop for your session!
These days pass in the blink of an eye; we’re here to remind tired parents that these moments—though blurry—are pure wonder. So drop us a line, ask us a question or simply say hello!
We’d be delighted to meet you!
