Second day of mini sale is going on now! Sale ends tomorrow evening - this is the first time I have offered “mini sessions” in YEARS.
For only $350 you get a quick 20 minute session that is perfect for updating family pics, headshots, or maybe grabbing some pet portraits! No limit on number of images you receive.
Email or DM to save your spot!

How about we spice up this Monday with a little offering: MINI SESSIONS. I haven’t offered “minis” in years but maybe the last chance at Christmas in July has me in the spirit.

From now until Wednesday, 7/31 I will have mini sessions available for only $350! Your 20 minute session can be planned for any time before the end of the year, at any location around the OKC metro area. You will receive a minimum of 15 images but I will not be limiting how many images you receive- and everything comes back edited and ready to go!
This is the perfect opportunity for a few updated family pics, some new headshots, or maybe a Christmas card photo with the dogs!

Taking the next few days off for a cabin getaway with my family! I’ll be back in the office on Tuesday! ♥️

This is the wallpaper that served as a backdrop for Aubri getting ready for her wedding day. ​​​​​​​​​This is also the wallpaper that has adorned the walls of her Mimi’s bedroom for the last thirty years. ​​​​​​​​​My intention of this photograph is that many, many years from now, perhaps after this wallpaper is gone, is that Aubri can be taken back in time. Not only to her wedding day, but all of the memories throughout her life that happened at Mimi’s house.

There were so many beautiful reactions to Katherine this day, but this image broke me.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the lead characters of a story. The main couple - it’s always the focus. But it’s those little supporting roles that actually build the narrative of how it felt. A little slice of what it felt like to be there in that moment.

Hello, sunshine. You have been so missed. ☀️

This day was far from perfect… yet as close as you can get to it.

I love this photo because it pretty much embodies the chaos that happened right before the ceremony. It was a clear and beautiful day so far, the chances of rain had fallen off the forecast. Everything was GREAT.
Then all hell breaks loose right before the outdoor ceremony. Like literally the skies opened up and dumped more rain in an hour than I thought possible.
That’s okay! Let’s just push the ceremony back until it moves out. Cool. New plan.
Thennnn the fire alarms start going off. Ensue more panic and confusion. Whew, no smoke. A bored kid probably pulled the fire alarm. Wait? Why are the fire trucks here? Now there are firemen combing through every room to find the alarm that had been pulled.
That might have been the most chaotic hour before a ceremony I have had in a while.

CANNONBALLLLL 💦

The photo I knew and expected // vs. the photo waiting for me as I turned around. 💜

I am happy to say I have launched a “refresh” for my website (as well as my business, in a way). After 17 years in the industry, my approach is always evolving, and it’s a time to embrace a more organic, true to self method. Head on over to ashleysunderland.com to check it out.

Also, peep this new headshot that my beau took for me. 😍😘

They did not disappoint.

Rethinking. Reimagining. Reinventing. Reinvigorated.
Stay tuned.

Back in Texas again for this sweet couple’s engagement session! Thank you Brynna and Nathan not only for trusting me, but laughing at all of my corny jokes 🙃

It’s Monday and freezing outside. Hope y’all weren’t expecting a good caption. 😂🙌♥️

But also, how cute are these new husbands? 😍

This is the exact reaction I expect from my monthly social media post. 🙃😂

This ring shot was a total bust.
HHHHAAAAA!!! 😂

Love wins. 💜🌈
My heart is so happy today for my LGBTQ+ community. This was a long overdue win. ♥️

My beautiful friend left this earth this morning. One of the hardest working, strong willed women I have ever met, with the biggest, most infectious smile and an even bigger heart.
I love you friend. 💔

Editing to add:
This photo is from a styled shoot that she was a model for - these were not true bridal or wedding photos.

Meagan Burke was a friend of mine from CrossFit. When the model for a big styled shoot fell through, she jumped right in to help. Meagan did AMAZING but she also couldn’t help but be her awkward quirky self when it came to posing with this male model as her groom (who she literally met an hour go). But boy you wouldn’t ever know it because that all changed the moment she saw the alpacas. THIS has been one of my most memorable photos. I have never seen anyone light up around animals the way that Meagan does.
I’m also editing this and sharing this because I wanted to clarify that this was not a wedding photo of hers. Just my last minute superhero on a bridal styled shoot.

Still over here obsessing over this proposal. 😍

Being a photographer means getting a VIP backstage pass to life’s biggest moments. 🥹 Last night I got to photograph my friend propose to the love of his life- Congratulations Calli and Justin! I love you guys!

This was my same reaction this morning when I realized it was the first of September, it would be raining all day, and there is a freshly washed flannel just begging to be worn hanging in my closet. 😍👍🍂
