The ASP Ambassador Program is all about building confidence, giving back to the community while creating amazing experiences.
Class is 2025 now open...
Want to make your senior year one to remember? Want to make new friends that lift you up? Want to give back to the community in a meaningful way? Then becoming an ASP Ambassador might just be a perfect fit for you. We believe in building confidence, having fun and giving back to our community.
As an ASP Ambassador, we'll have styled photoshoots throughout the year, you'll get your own senior session customized just to you with professional hair and makeup, plus a family portrait session for your parents. But being an ASP Ambassador is so much more than fun photo sessions! We do a self defense class to build confidence. We have a prom dress drive to help everyone feel beautiful on prom night while raising money for a good cause. Each ambassador group has also come up with their own ideas from a puppy love event to baking cookies for our unhoused neighbors.
Not only will you have unforgettable experiences as an ASP Ambassador, but it's great for your college application or resume and to get community service hours.

A Note from Annie to the Moms...
I have three daughters with one of them being a senior next year just like you. I just wanted to check and and see how you are doing? The whole mix of emotions of seeing your little girl grown up is just too real and raw and fills you with pride all while breaking your heart just a little. If you need a hug through the whole process, let me know, I am here for you, I probably need one too.
I wanted to share with you the reason I started my ambassador program. It was 2021 and our kids were missing out on so much. They lacked community and confidence. I wanted to create something for those kids that I would want for my own children. That's how Team 22 was born.
We've adjusted things over the years to reach the needs of the kids better, that included a name change to ASP Ambassadors, but the core is the same. I believe strongly in community service. I love doing the self defense class, it's fun but also great things to know as these kids will be on their own soon. And always I want them to feel beautiful, everyone of them, beyond physical beauty.
This ambassador program is a special gift we can give our kids to create amazing experiences at the end of their childhood and prepare them for the next steps.

FAQ
Q: Is this a model team? Do I need to have a certain look?
A: At Annie Smith Photography we celebrate all people. You are perfect the way you are.
Q: I only see girls in the photos, are boys welcome?
A: Yes! All of our ambassadors are girls but if you are a boy and this sounds like the experience you'd like, then I'd love for you to apply.
Q: Is everyone accepted:
A: Not necessarily. This program is all about lifting each other up and making the community a better place. You'll also be representing my business at events such as our community service projects. People who post lots of vulgarities and tear others down probably won't be a good fit.
Q: I'm so busy, will I have time for this:
A: None of the activities are required. You can choose what you'd like to attend. I do recommend attending the info meeting to get all the details before you make a decision. My ambassadors are often the kids that are very involved in activities. Bonus, I have some great opportunities for the college bound kids that I'll share with you at the meeting.
Q: Why the name change from Team 22/23 to ASP Ambassadors?
A. My biggest reason is I want this program to be so much bigger than just fun photoshoots. Ambassador seemed to be better aligned with my vision and a stronger name to put on college and job applications.
Q: Do I have to attend a certain high school?
A: I welcome anyone from Silverton, JFK, Salem schools or anywhere in the area. My studio in located in Silverton so most of our events will be in this area. As long as you are willing to come here, you can apply.
