howdy, y'all! I'm ashlyn!

a Wedding & Lifestyle photographer based out of Virginia

It's so nice to meet you! Here’s a little about me!!  I am a ninth-generation farmer located in southern Augusta County, VA who loves her cows, cattle dogs, & cameras! I'm also a graduate of Virginia Tech, GO HOKIES! I'm from a small, rural town but love traveling near and far for weddings & sessions as often as I can! My passion for photography began as a kid on my family’s cattle + crop farm where I would take photos of all the animals, equipment, and my family doing what they love. One thing led to another and I also began to take photos for friends and it has flourished from there. 

I Have Built The acp Name Off Of My Unwavering Values And Creativity

It is my mission to ensure you are happy with your photos and have fun in the process! So, whether you're graduating high school or college, getting married, or welcoming a new addition to your family -- I want to be there to capture it for you. Each page of your story is what makes YOU and I would be honored to illustrate every chapter!

She genuinely wants the best for her clients and goes above and beyond to add special moments to your session to create memorable, impactful images that you can cherish forever. From the moment we met, we knew that we wanted her for our wedding. Ashlyn has a way of capturing organic and beautiful images, and her attention to detail is phenomenal.  Beyond all her talent and charisma, she is so warm, so reassuring, and so kind. I look forward to working with her in the future, and I know that should you choose to work with Ashlyn, you will never be let down.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Ashlyn! From the very first conversation to the final gallery delivery, she was such a joy to work with. On our wedding day, she had this perfect mix of professionalism and warmth — she kept everything running smoothly while still making us laugh and helping us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. When we received our photos, we were honestly speechless. Every image tells a story and captures the emotion of the day so beautifully — the excitement, the tears, the laughter, and all the small in-between moments that mean the most. She somehow managed to capture everything without us even realizing she was there half the time! Her attention to detail and eye for lighting and composition are incredible, but what really stands out is how much heart she puts into her work. These photos are something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we’re endlessly grateful that she was the one to document our day. I would recommend Ashlyn to absolutely anyone — she’s truly the best!

My daughter recently had her senior pictures taken by Ashlyn, and I couldn't be happier! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing. She made my daughter feel so comfortable and confident during the shoot, and her creativity really shone through in every shot. The photos are stunning! The attention to detail, the lighting, and the unique locations that she recommended all contributed to a set of pictures that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend Ashlyn for anyone looking to capture beautiful, high-quality photos. 

If I could give Ashlyn 100 stars, I would without a doubt. We recently had family photos taken with her and we cannot recommend her enough! Ashlyn embraced the chaos of getting a one year old, four year old, and puppy to pose for photos with grace and professionalism! She made our shoot comfortable, easy, fun, and efficient- all while being flexible and patient with the kids. She was so easy to talk to, understood what we wanted, and delivered amazing results. The turn around time from when she took the photos to when we received them was SO fast. We absolutely LOVE our photos, she captured the sweetest moments. The style of the photos is beautiful/natural and the quality is excellent. These photos are especially meaningful as our four year old awaits a heart transplant. We will have these precious memories to look back on forever. Ashlyn, thank you for your generosity, kindness, and skill. We couldn't love our photos more.

If I could give Ashlyn 100 stars, I would without a doubt.

I had been searching for a photographer in VA for a couples session but could not find one I liked. I came across Ashlyn’s page and instantly knew I wanted her to capture my photos. Right from the start her communication was outstanding and really worked with the vision that I was creating in my head. We had never done a couples session nor really had photos ever taken but Ashlyn made sure to tell us both what to do and made us feel super comfortable. Photos were AMAZING and the turnaround time was so quick. I will be using Ashlyn as my photographer moving forward!

Ashlyn was nothing but amazing to work with

Ashlyn took our engagement photos and is photographing our wedding in October 2025! Ashlyn outdid any and all of my expectations for my engagement photos and I cannot wait for our big day to see those photos which I just know will be amazing!! These pictures were everything and more I could’ve ever imagined & dreamed of!! Ashlyn is a phenomenal photographer and person, and I can’t recommend her enough for all photography needs!

Ashlyn has been my photographer for a few years now. I can’t say enough good things about her. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was captured beautifully. Not only did she bring an incredible talent and eye for detail, but she brought a calm, supportive presence that made such a difference throughout the entire process. She always checked on me and made sure I was doing okay. Always asking if I needed a break or needed anything. By the end, Ashlyn wasn’t just our photographer—she truly became a friend. (I always joked telling her she felt more like a bridesmaid). She cared about every little detail, celebrated right alongside us, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are breathtaking, but even more than that, the experience of working with her was something I’ll always be grateful for. She is our photographer for life. I can’t wait to work with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will give you more than just pictures—someone who will pour their heart into your day—look no further. Ashlyn is the real deal.

She is our photographer for life.

Ashlyn is literally amazing! She took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures!! We absolutely love all of them. Ashlyn is so fun to work with and truly genuine. She is very organized and professional. Our elopement was so much fun and a big part of that was thanks to Ashlyn. She is always positive and has the best ideas. Photos are edited and returned in a timely manner and wedding photos have a 24 hour sneak peak.

I was so happy when I heard that Ashlyn had availability for our wedding date. From the first time I found her on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to shoot our wedding because her style was exactly what we were looking for.
From our initial contact, she made us feel so at ease. She is extremely organized and had great communication with us throughout the whole process.
Fast forward to wedding day, she came so prepared. It was our first time meeting in person and it felt like an old friend. She made every moment personal. Our photos are amazing and she captured all of our big moments throughout the day. Would choose Ashlyn over and over again.

Would choose Ashlyn over and over again.
