Ashley Youren Photography

Senior year is chaos: deadlines, decisions, and pretending you know what you’re doing after graduation. 🎓

Your photos don’t have to be chaotic too.

Owen // Class of 2026 🎓

Eli // Class of 2026 🎓

He brought his girl, his dog, his truck — and incorporated his sport — which made this session everything I hope for in a senior shoot.

A little bit of chaos, a lot of love, and moments you'll laugh about later. 🤎

Gwen // Class of 2026 🎓

This session was fueled by goodie bag bribes and fart button giggles. This fam brought me to a creepy sculpture garden to capture their memories. 😅

Every year, I make it a priority to grow—whether that’s attending a workshop, collaborating, or simply observing other photographers in action. Photography can be a beautifully creative yet isolating business. You’re often wearing all the hats—artist, decision-maker, business owner—and there aren’t always others around to bounce ideas off of.
That’s why I’m so grateful for the photographers who are open, generous, and willing to mentor or collaborate. It’s incredibly refreshing to connect, share, and reignite that creative spark.

These images are also a perfect example of what magic can happen when everything comes together: the right outfits, great light, and a family ready to just have fun. THIS is what makes a session shine. 🧡

Lena ate. Served. Slayed. Whatever the kids are saying these days — she did that.

She brought all the earthy goddess vibes and made my job way too easy.

10/10 would photograph again.

Bribes were made. 🍭 Magic was captured. ✨

These four showed up and delivered. Lena? An actual goddess — she’s getting her own post tomorrow.

The cutest little fam—rain and all! ☔
This session might’ve come with a few raindrops, but it turned out so sweet. I love seeing families year after year and watching these little humans grow.

Last summer, I was capturing this little guy taking his first steps… and now? Full-on personality, running the show. 😊
