warm, nostalgic photography for your most cherished chapters.
hi, i'm ashllyn!
my creative journey started on a high school yearbook staff and led me to a Creative Media degree, an Art Director role in UA’s Minerva program, and many exciting days behind the lens documenting campus life for the University of Alabama.
in a fast-moving digital world, i love grounding myself in things that take time—whether that’s shooting on vintage film cameras, scrapbooking, or working on an embroidery project. paper star studios is where that passion for the physical, nostalgic, and handmade comes to life to document your favorite milestones.
