Ashley Strong Smith - Open Field Spring Maternity Photography Session - Anaheim, California

I’ve been wanting to share these photos for sometime. Months to be exact. Each time I go to… the voices in my head run the gamut. No one cares. People in this space are here for your coaching, not your photography anymore. You’re a jack of all traits and a master of none. How are you promoting another thing that you do? Are you sure someone wants to see them? How do you go from taking a sabbatical from social media to wanting to share it all? 

Can you relate to this kind of talk? 

Ugh, it’s so exhausting just typing it out and sharing it! 

You know, that talk that feels appropriate and necessary for you to play small, dim your light, dismiss all that you are, justify all the ways why you can’t do something. 

My sister, please hear me when I say, let that voice go. She no longer has a space here. That voice that is anything less than. She is not your truth. 

You are perfect, whole and complete just as you are now. 
Share it all. 
Play big. 
Shine your bright, bright light unapologetically. 
Honor the dynamic, multi-dimensional, multi-passionate soul you are. 
Know, that you can do absolutely anything that your heart calls for. 

Share all of you! ✨🌻☀️💛

My friend, enjoy these adorable maternity portraits of my dear clients as they are moments away from welcoming their first little love! Photography has been such a huge part of my soul both personally and personally for nearly my entire life. And my goodness, am I do deeply grateful to share in this expression and exchange!
