My name is Ashley Young, I am the owner, lead photographer and visionary of ANYoung Photography.  My passion started when I was young, my mom was a photographer and I would watch as she capture the beautiful images of families, children, and couples.  I have always been focused on God’s work and love being in nature and capturing it through still imagery.  In 2011, my world as I knew it changed forever when my grandmother, my best friend, lost her battle with cancer.  For weeks I sat crying and remembering my time with her.  As I worked through my grief I found the biggest relief and peace came from looking back on photos of me with her through the years.  It was at this point that I realized how important the photos my mom took over the years were and it is then that I decided I wanted to follow in her footsteps.  As your lead photographer, I believe each person has a unique story to tell and I love to capture your story chapter by chapter by creatively showcasing your life’s story in the most beautiful way possible. My goal as your photographer is to capture moments that you will cherish a lifetime at a price point you can afford.  All of my clients get every photo taken (minus awkward face reactions or closed eyes) in both color and black and white with full copyright release, this is truly what sets me apart from my competition.  Through the last several years I have had the pleasure of working with families that have become lifelong friends.  I can not wait to meet you and start developing your unique storybook!

“Appreciating the true value of a photo doesn’t sink in until one day it is all you have left from that time in your life.  There is always a reason to take a moment, slow life down and even freeze that moment in time.”
