Behind the lens:
Ashly Essary
Welcome! I am so happy you're here! My name is Ashly and I am a 19 year old portrait photographer based in Oklahoma City, capturing families, couples, solo sessions, and the many seasons of life in between. Whether it’s a quiet moment, a milestone, or a “just because” shoot, I’m here to photograph your story the way you want it told.
My photography journey started in September 2025 when my aunt gave me a camera she wasn’t using. I didn’t know much at first, but I quickly fell in love with it. With lots of practice and learning, my passion grew into what is now
Ashly E. Photography!
Everything I do is for the Lord, and I’m thankful to use this gift to serve others and capture His beautiful creation.
I can't wait to take your photos! :)

My philosophy
I believe photographs are more than just pictures, they are an investment in memories that will last you a lifetime. I believe the best photographs come from genuine moments and authentic connections. That's why I take the time to get to know each of my clients and encourage them to make the session their own. From choosing a meaningful location to incorporating personal interests and ideas, I love helping bring your vision to life. I believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident, in front of my camera. Whether you're naturally outgoing or feel a little nervous about having your picture taken, my goal is to create a relaxed and welcoming environment where you can truly be yourself. I want every session to feel less like a photoshoot and more like a fun experience that allows your personality to shine. As your photographer, I strive to capture more than just how you looked in a moment, I want to capture how it felt. Whether we're celebrating your senior year, documenting a growing family, or preserving a special chapter in your life, my goal is to create timeless images that tell your story and become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
