Happy Birthday to my makeup artist, my partner-in-glam, and my very best friendโ€”Elizabeth ๐Ÿ’‹. If youโ€™ve had a Sea You Smile experience, you already know: sheโ€™s the secret ingredient that turns nerves into laughter, brushes into confidence, and sessions into pure magic.

Elizabeth doesnโ€™t just do makeupโ€”she empowers. She hypes you up, fixes your lashes when happy tears fall, and somehow makes sitting in her chair feel like the beginning of your transformation. Every client leaves not only looking radiant but feeling it, and thatโ€™s because of her artistry, her heart, and the energy she brings into every room.

Beyond the makeup chair, sheโ€™s my right hand in this businessโ€”the one who helps me bring every vision to life, keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes, and makes sure every clientโ€™s experience feels unforgettable. And on top of all that, sheโ€™s my best friend.

So today, we celebrate YOU, Elizabeth โœจ Thank you for being my creative partner, my biggest supporter, and such a beautiful soul inside and out. The best is yet to come, and Iโ€™m beyond lucky to have you by my side ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ’–

After a season of healing, reflection, and quiet transformation, Iโ€™m officially relaunching my photography โ€” just in time for SUMMER MINI SESSIONS. And trust me, theyโ€™re anything but mini in meaning.

Sunset. Salt. Sensuality.
This is your comeback glowโ€”soulful, bold, and unapologetically yours.

Youโ€™ll get 45 minutes of golden hour magic, creative posing for every body, and a beach location of your choosing. Think soft sand, salty air, and that effortless, radiant energy that can only come from being fully yourself.

Prefer an indoor vibe? Hotel sessions are back too โ€” luxe, intimate, and full of that same raw confidence.

๐Ÿ“… Spots are limited โ€” and the first 10 to book get a sweet surprise: extra images, totally free. Yup. No catch, just magic.

โœจ Only a few of those bonus spots left โ€” once theyโ€™re gone, theyโ€™re gone.

DM me a โ˜€๏ธ and Iโ€™ll send you the full scoop.

Letโ€™s make this your glow-up summer.
Iโ€™m so ready to create with you again.

I stepped back. Now Iโ€™m stepping inโ€”louder, bolder, and more in tune with what this work was always meant to be.
โ€Œ
Sensuality. Power. Vulnerability. Itโ€™s all returning, and itโ€™s going to be next-level.
โ€Œ
If your body has a story to tell, youโ€™ll want to be ready when the doors open.
Soon.

Hereโ€™s a little update on where things stand right now. I truly thought Iโ€™d be back in full swing by now, but life had other plans. Challenges have popped up left and right, making this journey harder than expected. But if thereโ€™s one thing I believe, itโ€™s that setbacks are just setups for an even stronger comeback. I miss creating, I miss the art, and I cannot wait to get back behind the camera. Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s been patient and supportiveโ€”it means more than you know. Stay tuned, because Iโ€™ll be back soon ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

2024, you broke me in ways I never thought possible.
โ€Œ
I spent the first four months of the year in a toxic work environment. My mental health declined, and I fell into a robotic cycle: wake up, work, come home, repeat. The weekends were never long enough, and I dreaded Mondays with every fiber of my being.
โ€Œ
I left to pursue nannying and opened my photography studioโ€”a dream I was so proud of. But six weeks into my new job, I was wrongfully terminated. Denied unemployment benefits, I spent 3.5 months searching for work while struggling to make ends meet. It felt like the world was against me.
โ€Œ
I tried envisioning photography full-time, but then I lost my best friend of 14 years ๐Ÿพ. That loss shattered me. It wasnโ€™t just losing my catโ€”it was losing my inspiration, my drive, and my anchor. Photography has always been about empowering women, and I couldnโ€™t bring myself to push bookings just to survive.
โ€Œ
Closing my studio was one of the hardest decisions Iโ€™ve made, but it brought clarity. I had jumped at the chance to have a studio, believing it was the next step for my work, but after a few sessions, I realized it wasnโ€™t the right fit long-term. Holding on to something that wasnโ€™t workingโ€”for me or my clientsโ€”didnโ€™t make sense. Letting it go felt bittersweet but necessary.
โ€Œ
And when I thought I couldnโ€™t take more, I faced another setback that forced me to pause my photography business altogether. It was another blow in a year already full of heartbreak.
โ€Œ
Even in the darkness, there were moments of light. Photography introduced me to wonderful people, and I got to see who was truly there for me. I adopted two rats, Remy and Fin, whose playful energy reminded me to laugh again. But I also lost my hamster, adding to the grief of the year.
โ€Œ
For the first time in 14 years, Iโ€™m entering a new year without my best friend by my side. The emptiness is profound.
โ€Œ
2024 wasnโ€™t about thrivingโ€”it was about surviving. But Iโ€™m still here. I learned lessons I didnโ€™t want to learn, found strength I didnโ€™t know I had, and leaned on the people who truly mattered.
โ€Œ
2025, Iโ€™m entering cautiously, with no expectationsโ€”just hope for healing, peace, and brighter days ahead.

โ€Œ
Dear friends and clients,
โ€Œ
Today, I want to share some bittersweet news. I am temporarily closing my business and permanently closing the studio space that has been my creative home for the past 4 months. This decision is filled with a mix of emotions, but I am so grateful for the wonderful experiences and connections Iโ€™ve built along this journey.
โ€Œ
I will be taking this time to personally heal from everything Iโ€™ve been through this year. I want to rediscover who I am so I can come back as the best version of myself for all of you.
โ€Œ
I plan to reopen in December and will shift back to offering sessions in hotel environments, allowing me to continue crafting personalized and intimate experiences for all of you. Iโ€™ll also be introducing a new add-on that I believe will enhance your experience!
โ€Œ
Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition. I am grateful for the lessons learned and look forward to reconnecting with each of you in the near future.
โ€Œ
With Love and Light,
Ashley

SYORY TIME ๐ŸŒง๏ธ
โ€Œ
Hey everyone, I wanted to open up and share something personal with you all. Remember that nanny job I was so excited for? Well, I got wrongfully terminated just 6 weeks later. My mental health has been at an all-time low. Iโ€™ve been battling with a lack of motivation and a diminishing sense of faith because it seems like I keep getting hit with setbacks. Honestly, Iโ€™m just exhausted and at the end of my rope.
โ€Œ
Navigating these tough times has been a rollercoaster. There are days when it feels like everything is crumbling around me, and itโ€™s hard to keep pushing forward. But Iโ€™ve learned that sharing our struggles can be a powerful way to find connection and support. Itโ€™s okay to admit when things arenโ€™t going well, and itโ€™s okay to lean on others for help.
โ€Œ
Taking care of your mental health is so important, especially because not every day is promised. We often push through our struggles alone, but itโ€™s crucial to remember that asking for help and taking care of ourselves is not a sign of weaknessโ€”itโ€™s a sign of strength. Embracing vulnerability and reaching out can make a significant difference, not just for ourselves but for those around us too.
โ€Œ
If youโ€™ve ever thought about booking a bo***ir shoot with me, doing so now would make a huge difference. It would not only help ease my financial stress but also give me a significant mental boost during this challenging time.
โ€Œ
Additionally, Iโ€™m excited to share that I have some amazing promotions going on for the grand opening of my new studio! ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ This is a special moment for me, and having you be a part of it would be incredibly meaningful.
โ€Œ
Your support not only helps me keep going but also reminds me that even in the toughest times, thereโ€™s a community that cares. Thank you for being here and for considering supporting me. It truly means the world ๐Ÿ’•
