Hey! I'm Ashley 👋
I'm a Salem senior photographer, and I've been photographing high school seniors since 2008.
And here's something I want you to know right away: you do not need to know how to pose. You don't need to know where to put your hands, what to do with your face, how to stand, or which angle is "your good side."
That's my job. 😉
I photograph regular people—not models. Some of my seniors LOVE the camera, take a million selfies, and are ready for their moment. Others tell me they hate having their picture taken, feel awkward in photos, or swear they look better in real life.
I've got you either way.
I'll tell you what to do, help you move and pose naturally, fix the little things you'd never think about, and make sure you never feel like you're just standing there wondering, "Ummm…what do I do now?"
I'm really good with people, and a huge part of what I love about this job is figuring out how to bring out your best—your real smile, your personality, your confidence—and photograph you in a way that feels like you on a really, really good day.
Because no one automatically knows how to be in front of a camera.
That's why you hire me. 🤍
