About

So nice to meet you! My name is Ashley McDowell and I'm a natural light photographer in central Ohio. I view each of my clients as friends who I want nothing but the absolute best for. My mission is to create an enjoyable and memorable experience during your session and provide you with beautiful photos of you and your loved ones that you can look back on for years to come and treasure. I believe photos are SO IMPORTANT as none of us are promised tomorrow. Memories live in our minds and hearts - but how special it is to have those moments frozen in time and documented in still color. When you hire me, you are hiring a "hype girl!" I love to build all of my clients up and boost your confidence. I will help you pose in flattering ways and let your true beauty shine through. You're hiring someone who doesn't care when your kiddos are having a meltdown or maybe not being very "cooperative." Kids will be kids, and I promise to just roll with the punches even when things don't always go as planned. When you hire me, I promise to do just about anything to "get the shot" and to get the smiles, no matter how ridiculous I sound or look! I want you to feel relaxed and at ease when working with me. And after your session, I will spend many hours editing even the smallest details to ensure your photos are of the best quality I can provide. A pop-up blemish on your face? I'll smooth it out. Random piece of lint on your shirt? Poof -- gone! Mild teeth whitening? Yep - I can do that! If you're looking for a friendly, affordable, kind-hearted, dedicated and fun photographer - I'm your girl! Please browse my page to view my work, see pricing and to get in touch. Questions?

I am 31 years old and I live in Baltimore, Ohio with my wonderful boyfriend and our two cats: Tucker and Dale, and our doggo named Ollie. Besides photography, I also love painting, cooking, archery, yoga, being outside in nature, and I'm always down for trying new places to eat and explore! One of the best gifts I ever received was my first camera over 10 years ago. I fell in love with taking photos, and I haven't stopped falling since. This is what I'm most passionate about, and I would love the opportunity to help capture your life's magical moments and provide you with images you'll treasure. Thank you for considering Ashley Michelle Photography and I hope to talk to you soon!

"Ashley was amazing with our family pictures! Our 2 year old was not wanting his picture taken at all and I left feeling a little discouraged. When I got our pictures I was amazed! She somehow got such good pictures of our grumpy boy. She was so good with both the kids and made us all at ease. 10/10 recommend. She is such a great person to work with!"
