Meet Ashley Uhl

Meet Ashley Uhl!  She is an incredibly talented photographer from Lexington, South Carolina!



Hi I am Ashley and the handsome little boy in the photo with me is my sweet little boy Conner. I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister and photographer. I absolutely love chocolate, diet coke, and mexican food! My most guilty pleasure is watching “Days of our Lives” and “The Kardashians” yes what drama! But a girl that does pretty much motherhood and photography 24 hours a day and 7 days a week needs more drama then getting pooed and peed on!



What inspired me to become a newborn photographer?
Well my son was my largest inspiration, I enjoyed capturing him as an infant and from then on I decided I would do the same for other families here in South Carolina.



Studio or Natural Light
I do a little bit of natural light and mostly studio lighting I love to play with light to see the different types of images I can create with lights and shadows.


A little Before and After:



Whats in your bag?
I have a Nikon D700; 50mm 1.4; 105mm; 24-70mm



I have so many photographers that inspire me but the one that always sticks out to me is Jennie Pyfferoen she has such an amazing ability with natural light and those sweet little poses she does definitely threw me into baby fever! I am not self taught we all have mentors or we should have mentors that we can turn to for advice and direction when it comes to this business.




Advice to a new photographer;
Study Study Study newborn safety! This job is a never ending learning process and never go into this world thinking you know it all because none of us do. Always ask other photographers if they are willing to help you with anything that you can improve in, it never hurts to ask! Most importantly don't forget why you love your job. Don't make this something your wake up to and huff and puff at, make it your get away and “zen”.


I sincerely hope you'll take the time to visit her Facebook page, and even say Hi!  She's SO sweet, and it's such a joy to follow her work!  Visit Ashley Uhl Photography
