Today, I am excited to introduce Ashley Porter, the owner and photographer of Ashley Sturm Photography. She’s one of my closest friends and one very talented lady!! Our dream of sharing a studio came true earlier this year when we opened our downtown space, Studio | 430.
Ashley specializes in High School Senior Portraits, so this is the perfect time to feature her amazing work! The school year is coming to a close, the weather will soon be gorgeous — time to start thinking about senior pictures.
“I just love their energy, style, and ambitions!”, says Ashley. “I also shoot weddings, engagement, newborn, maternity and children. My clients seek professional, memorable, stunning portraits to have in their homes, and a remarkable experience worth talking about.”
I can’t rave enough about Ashley’s talent… not only does she photograph my work for Red Pearl Designs but over the years, she has taken my family pictures, my brothers senior pictures, and did a couples session of Ryan and I. I’m constantly amazed by her wonderful gift of photography, her ability to make you feel at-ease in front of the camera and her passion for offering great customer service.
Here is a little taste of her work. Be prepared for the awesomeness you’re about to enjoy…










The above picture is my little brother! Aren’t his blue eyes incredible? I think so!

Ashley is known for her boutique-style high school senior portraits that include makeup, hair and styling to create fashionable looks for her teens. She shoots on-location, serving seniors throughout Oregon and the greater Northwest.
