Ariel Dodson Photography • Family • Engagement • Wedding • Maternity • Senior • Event • Life is to short not to Hey ya’ll!!! First, my name is Ariel and I’m so glad you are here!

If you are reading this I’m assuming you want to know a little something about me! I have been in the photography business since roughly 2013. I currently shoot with a Nikon D700, that a sweet sweet photographer gave away and I was the lucky winner. On a more personal level. I am the wife to a man of many trades, a mother to a special needs, miracle boy and two beautiful, rambunctious daughters. I

am a stay at home mom, so photography is my “out”. I would love to chat with you and get to know more about you and your family as we capture those special moments. Getting to know you as my clients on a more personal level and leave as new friends is one of my favorite things about photography. I love personal connection. So if you want to become new friends with me (I mean who wouldn’t, right?!?), let’s schedule a session!!!

I shot a Teen Board Tea Party, for Alyssa, this past weekend, and every single one of these girls also happens to be part of my Senior Rep Program 🫶✨
One of my favorite parts of this journey is getting to build genuine friendships and make memories beyond just photos. I absolutely love spending time with these girls and watching each of their personalities shine. 💕📸

The sweetest kind of love is watching sisters grow up side by side. One carrying the other now… but both carrying memories they’ll hold onto forever. ✨

✨ Still not over this incredible Kentucky Derby themed 70th birthday celebration ✨

From the thoughtful details to the unforgettable atmosphere, every part of this party was absolutely stunning. The hats, florals, laughter, live music, and the sweetest moments shared between family and friends made this such an honor to photograph. 🐎🌹🥂

Celebrating 70 years of life, love, and legacy in true Derby style — what a beautiful night to remember. Thank you for allowing me to capture such a special milestone. ❤️

A huge shoutout to the amazing vendors who helped bring this vision to life:

✨ 2026 Brides — this is your sign to BOOK THE PHOTOGRAPHER. ✨

The dress gets packed away.
The flowers fade.
The cake gets eaten.

But your photographs?
They become the way you relive it all forever. 🤍

The nervous hand squeezes before you walk down the aisle.
Your dad trying not to cry.
Your grandma dancing at the reception.
The in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

Those are the moments I chase.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will help your day feel calm, genuine, joyful, and beautifully documented — I would LOVE to be considered for your wedding day. ✨

I have a few remaining 2026 wedding dates available, and once they’re filled, my calendar is closed.

Message me for wedding packages + availability 🤍
