Photojournalist turned portrait photographer, retired competitive cheerleader, lover of a good mystery, three-time escape room champ, introverted-extrovert who loves really, really good coffee. I believe this is the only way to truly capture the essence of who they are - whether that's a giddy engaged couple, an excited bride and groom, an awed new mother with her baby, or a lively family is to truly know you.
My favorite part of being your photographer is the friendship that develops in the process. With that I'd like to happily welcome you to my little corner of the world. Ashley and Troy Yantes are truly amazing photographers. They are an amazing husband and wife team that make you feel like family the second that you meet them.

Because of this, we only take a limited number of weddings and motherhood/lifestyle sessions each year. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with an unforgettable experience, and the first step is to ensure that we can serve you well!
Truth be told, I never wanted to be a portrait photographer. You see, I was a very shy, soft-spoken girl. I was the girl who tried out for cheerleading every year but always made sure I was in the back row during tryouts to avoid attention. I wanted to be a photojournalist, off in the background capturing images as they happen without anyone ever knowing I was there.
All too soon he will no longer grab your hand to show you something you just HAVE to see. She won't grab both sides of your face to give you a kiss anymore. And you don't want to forget. The gift of motherhood has given me the ability to connect and relate with each of my clients in a way I have never experienced before.

We have loved having Ashley and Troy do professional photos for us, starting with our engagement and wedding photos in 2011 and then family pictures both in 2017 and 2019. They work so well together to capture the best photos, and really made us and our kids feel so relaxed and comfortable during the shoots. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

Ashley and Troy are talented photographers who are amazing to work with. They have a way of putting everyone at ease to capture the best pictures possible. We trusted them with both our engagement and wedding photos both of which turned out absolutely stunning. When rain threatened our ability to capture the outdoor wedding pictures of our dreams, they offered to come back the next day to photograph them then. They truly care about capturing the photos of your dreams and are so much fun to work with. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We’ve used Yantes Photo for family pictures, wedding pictures, anniversary pictures, baby announcements, and newborn pictures! They’ve always done such an amazing job and have gone above and beyond our expectations with the quality and service they deliver. A+ effort to both Troy & Ashley for always getting my husband to give his genuine, real smile as well (we all know how pictures turn out with “fake” smiles). I will continue using YP for all my families pictures for years to come. 12/10 would recommend!

Ashley and Troy did our engagement and wedding photos in 2018 and they are absolutely amazing! They work so well together to get the best shots and captured our wedding day perfectly. They are very personable and made it so easy for us to be ourselves around them!

We have used Yantes Photo for our biggest life moments since they took our engagement photos in 2014. Ashley and Troy have this profound magic of turning something as simple and routine as family photos into an absolutely joyous and momentous day. They truly believe in connecting with you and your family, so that your true selves are on full display for your photos. We will continue to use them for our family's biggest moments, and wouldn't trust anyone else with those memories!

We hired Ashley and Troy to shoot our wedding and since they have done maternity, newborn, and family sessions for us. It feels so great to get together with professionals (feel like friends!) we know and trust and it makes us more relaxed and get great photos. We love the 'mini session' option which is affordable and high quality. We recommended them for my brother's wedding and those pics were amazing too! Book them!!!

There aren’t enough positive things to say about Ashley and Troy and Yantes Photo! They are an absolute joy to work with, plus so talented. I loved working with them throughout wedding planning and was so glad to have them around on the big day! They are fun, chill, and made me feel so at ease - always keeping us on track and they made sure to capture all the fun moments! We love our wedding photos and photographers!

We loved the work Yantes Photos did so much for our wedding back in 2018 that we asked them to capture our extended family photos this passed Fall; we could not be more thrilled with the results! Not only are they punctual, but their attention to detail and their ability to capture precious moments is wonderful! They are always open to ideas and ways of improving their customers' experience by asking for feedback, taking steps to improve their website's operation, asking what you desire from the sessions, easing the payment process, and providing an effortless ways of obtaining your valued photos
