Hi, let me introduce myself!
My name is Ashlee Young-Gibson, and I am a Dayton/Cincinnati-based photographer with a passion for taking and making memories. I started shooting professionally in May of 2023. I love being able to take pictures for families, couples, and special moments like senior photos!
How did I get into photography?
That all started a long time ago. I was 13 years old and it was Christmas morning. I had one more present under the tree and my mom told me this one was EXTREMELY special. It was a refurbished Nikon 5D that belonged to my late father.
That Christmas morning changed my entire life. That day on my camera acted as an attachment to me. I carried it everywhere I went, even to the grocery store with my mom.
I have been lucky enough to practice my skills all over the United States! Alaska, Chicago, Cleveland, New York City, Seattle, and TONS of National Parks.
Who am I today?
I am a very laid-back (but also type A) person. You will find me in sweatpants and a t-shirt 99% of the time, I am in both as I am typing this. I have two cats I have rescued and love dearly; they are my built-in models for when I need to practice my skills. I just got married on March 9th, 2024. My husband, Nathan, is my biggest supporter. Without his love, encouragement, and support this wouldn't be possible. When not taking pictures, I am a Public Relations Coordinator for a non-profit in the Dayton area, AIM for the Handicapped. It is a 4-level movement-based program, it is completely free for any individual that needs us. I love my job and the impact AIM has on the Dayton community.
Would we work well together and have fun?
