Our hearts are broken for the western part of our state in the wake of hurricane Helene. Each of us on the SP team have fond memories of time spent in the mountains, including Becca and Fabian both having graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone. As we hear of different groups that we trust collecting donations, volunteering, etc, we will be sharing those in our stories. Like Mr Rogers said, look to the helpers. Be a helper. Give how you can.

Oh heeeeeeeey. Here’s proof of *the* time I let my hair down this summer. It’s been too humid and too many heat warnings for this hair! Speaking of….

You wanna let yooooour hair down soon? I’m putting together an indoor bo***ir shoot and an outdoor bo***ir shoot (on private land) to take place in the next month or two. Which one would you like to be a part of?? Comment here, DM me, email. You know all the ways to get ahold of me.

I am so passionate about creating photos with you that allow you to feel at home in your body. I want you to leave the session feeling empowered and damn good in your skin.

Esse Quam Videri
“To be rather than to seem”
[North Carolina State Motto]

I want to BE the thing, rather than to SEEM like the thing.

I want to BE FULLY ASHLEY, rather than to curate something that SEEMS like Ashley.

I have wanted to update my headshot for awhile, and this time I had the timeline of wanting to do them before my skin cancer surgery next week.

It is SO EASY to fall into wanting to SEEM like a version of yourself when being photographed. Especially being photographed alone. I was going to still do that in tiny ways, like putting concealer under my eyes to hide my lack of sleep.

How do I BE fully me while being photographed?

What am I going to wear - clothes that are my FAVORITE, things I’ve tried on, accessories that are important to me (though I forgot most of my jewelry I was going to wear but its all good)

Where am I being photographed - in one of my favorite locations, with my feet to the earth and water, golden light, sounds of stream, lightening bugs waking up around us

Who is photographing me - Becca, who I have known for almost 20 years now… who I can be vulnerable to, sharing how I currently feel in my body, what I want to feel like in the photos

The outcome? Sure, there were moments I was in my head about my body, and not just in my body. I have learned it’s a PRACTICE. But once again Becca created photos of myself that are me. I see me now, I see me over the years. Thank you for that, Becca.

Pride month is just a few days away… big companies who might actually give their money in ways that are not allied to the LGBTQIA community will be putting out their rainbow gear. Yeah, it’s nice for them to see the numbers, that people want to support pride month. Can I give you some other suggestions of things you can do to celebrate pride with the LGBTQIA community?

🏳️‍🌈 By all means, get that rainbow gear. You NEVER know who you might be signaling safety to around you when you show that you are an ally. Can I interest you in doing a little research though? Instead of getting that rainbow gear from amazon or Target, maybe find an Etsy shop or independently owned shop where you are supporting a small business owner’s dream?

🏳️‍🌈 Think about the people in your direct community (at work, in your family, your next door neighbors, at church) that identify as LGBTQIA. Without asking for their input, reflect on ways that you might be a better ally to them. Think about conversations you have had that maybe you might want to revisit with them, or maybe you’ve been avoiding you want to talk with them about that shows them you are supportive of their full identity, etc.

🏳️‍🌈 Instead of the cheap rainbow gear, maybe donate to a non profit that supports the LGBTQIA community in some way.

🏳️‍🌈 Evaluate your language (pronouns, gender inclusion, etc), your companies policies and practices, your church’s stance on welcoming and affirming. Do a little digging, have some good conversations.

💐🌼🌷This weekend was abundant with opportunities to photograph people this beautiful time of year. We met new clients, photographed long time clients. Photographed a backyard Hindu wedding, spoke about being a photographer to middle schoolers, photographed new clients at Duke gardens, photographed a pastor installation service, photographed seniors going to prom, and a sweet reception celebrating an already married couple. Thank you thank you thank you for the ways you refer us and continue to invite us to tell your stories. Love you mean it. 🤓🪻🌹🌸
