hi, i'm ashllyn!

and i like to do many things. i am passionate about being passionate about them all.

my journey with photography started on my high school yearbook staff, where i fell in love with the fast-paced world of visual storytelling. i followed that passion to a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Media, transforming a lifelong hobby into a dedicated career.

today, i split my creative energy between a few incredible roles. i work as a photographer for the Department of Strategic Communications at the University of Alabama, documenting the vibrant life of the campus. i also serve as an Art Director in the Minerva portfolio program at UA, where i dive deep into conceptual design and visual strategy.

in a digital world that moves so fast, i love to ground myself in things that take time. i’m an avid collector of vintage film cameras, and shooting film is one of my favorite ways to slow down and focus on the raw, authentic details of a moment. that passion for the physical and handmade carries over into my downtime, where you’ll usually find me scrapbooking or working on an embroidery project.

this website is a gallery of the moments, milestones, and stories i’ve been trusted to capture. but if you’d like to see the broader scope of my design work, art direction, and personal creative experiments, i’d love for you to check out my personal portfolio, linked below.

it's been so nice to meet you! thank you for reading!
