Comfort Zones & Blessings in Disguise

Shooting with Ashley Stuart is always a pleasure for me because of how well we connect and work together. She's a great model and a great friend with a such a bright spirit. Shooting this shoot in particular was amazing to me. It wasn't planned in advanced and mulled over for days like my usual shoots but when Ash texted I couldn't say no and it was nice to just go out and see what we could create with what was around us. We got a chance to catch up and just talk about life, love, even deeper topics like mental health and stepping out of comfort zones. I tried to challenge Ashley to step out of her comfort zone and do somethings differently that she wouldn't always do while shooting. 

We actually met a wonderful woman who Ashley felt she just had to stop and I immediately knew why when the woman looked at us and told us "Remember you always learn something new. Everyday is a lesson." and she was right. Recently life has thrown me curve balls but it was all a lesson so that I could be stronger and makes the steps to get to where I want to be in the future. 

 She asked us both to write down an important lesson we had learned over time. I wrote down "Be blessed then become a blessing to others." because i realize now that every lesson, every day, every experience is a blessing a learning experience and theres nothing better, for me at-least, than turning my blessings into someone else's and it doesn't have to be huge it could be as simple as a blog post or a conversation.

Many Blessings,
