About Me

Hi, I'm Ashley—the owner and photographer behind AWP Studios.

Born and raised in Arizona, I’m a mom of two boys, a high school sweetheart turned fiancée, a creative at heart, and someone who believes the most meaningful moments deserve to be preserved. What started as a passion for photography has grown into a business dedicated to telling authentic stories and capturing life’s most important milestones.

I am a licensed and insured photographer, providing clients with peace of mind knowing their memories are being captured professionally and responsibly.

Whether I’m photographing a wedding, senior session, family milestone, or special event, my goal is to create images that feel genuine, timeless, and uniquely you. I love blending candid moments with artistic storytelling to create photographs that bring you right back to how the moment felt.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family, enjoying a good cup of coffee, or dreaming up new creative ideas for AWP Studios—including Love, On Record, my video guestbook experience that helps clients preserve not just memories, but the voices and personalities behind them.

I believe every celebration has a story worth telling, and I’d be honored to help tell yours.

Professional Equipment & Backup Systems

To ensure your memories are captured with exceptional quality and reliability, I photograph with professional Nikon equipment, including a Nikon Z 7II mirrorless camera paired with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for stunning detail and versatility. I also carry a Nikon D750 with a collection of prime lenses, including a 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm, allowing me to create everything from sweeping storytelling images to intimate portraits.

For receptions, creative portraits, and dynamic lighting situations, I incorporate off-camera flash techniques to add depth, dimension, and an artistic, cinematic feel to your gallery. Having multiple camera bodies, lenses, and lighting equipment ensures I’m prepared for every moment and every lighting condition throughout your event.
