Meet Ariel - Owner of AHP

Back in 2012 when I started Ariel Hawkins Photography, I had noticed that the traditional ways of taking family photos was starting to become extremely mainstream and well, boring! I had been working a 9-5 at the local camera store in the mall for about 9 months when Christmas came around. During the Christmas season I could see the stress, strain & general toll that it was taking on not only the Mom’s & Dad’s but the workers themselves! You had 10 minutes to capture photos, then you had to hard sell the packages to the families. - This is NOT my style.

That’s when I decided that I had had enough with these box studios and their business model. I swore that I could provide a BETTER service for my Client’s. It would be fun, memorable & an experience! Not just a push and shove, wait for an hour, only to get 10 minutes of time. Then half of the pictures your kids are crying, what a terrible experience. NO MORE.

That’s when I started AHP, & I NEVER looked back! I have incorporated this mindset into every session I have, including weddings! No one likes to be rushed and when you’re planning out the biggest day of your life, you’d like to know that your photographer is experienced, fun & FOCUSED on your goals too! ( See what I did there? haha.)

My goal is to work with you and your family whether you’re just starting it or you’ve been together for years, to create the most exciting and FUN experience for you! Taking photos that will make you feel great, stress free and excited about scheduling your NEXT session!
