Sending a giant virtual confetti canon to Kailua to wish my amazing clients turned life-long friends an incredible HAPPY FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Who would have thought when we met in Kakaako all those years ago to talk wedding that we’d eventually be pushing our babies in strollers and spending late evenings over take-out together? Well, I probably could have, cause I loved you both from the start! I was just waiting for y’all to catch up. 😆 Who else would be able to convince me to join Tahitian class? Lauren! (Not Kawika... ;)) So thankful for the series of friendships in @bausmaven who introduced me to @maliachu who brought me to y’all! 🤪 Happy Anniversary Lauren + Kawika, the Woods fam absolutely adores you + your crew. 💓🎉 ps: from weddings to first birthdays y’all STILL know how to throw the best parties! #keeksandbabes #keeksandbabies
If time and money and transportation weren't an issue and you could run off to somewhere *right now*, where would it be?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd say Greece! I've always been in awe of the charming villages stacked high atop mountains. Who DOESN'T love Europe?? But the hallways of the @Fslanai would do the trick, too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What about you? Where ya wish you were running off to today? ;)
If I could write a love letter to myself before I jumped into *officially* owning a business back in 2010, I would impart these 10 things:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Find resources to learn business but don't try to learn style. It doesn't work that way⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. You'll never always be in love with your own work and that's okay. That's what makes you an artist⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. On that note, don't look at what everyone else is doing and walk away from even your own portfolio. When you come back you'll have fresh eyes and maybe even wow yourself⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Your identity is not in your business or your skills. Rest in that truth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Don't ever stop shooting solely for you, for fun⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6. Keep lugging your camera around everywhere, you'll forever regret it when you don't⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 7. Just skip that fumbly year with digital + keep start shooting film for crying out loud⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 8. There's far more to your life than your business, shape your beliefs around this realization⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 9. Don't be afraid to ask for help -- or hire them⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 10. Know that your camera is just your tool to get you out into the world, your life is about what you do when you're out there ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What one piece of advice would you tell your younger self?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beautiful invites by @annaclairecalligraphy
A lot of times clients ask if I’ve shot at their wedding space before. While I *totally* understand the value in being familiar with a venue’s nook’s and crannies, I think we can all agree that being some place new, in all areas of life, has a way of eliciting excitement and sparking creativity in a way that can have magical results. I love my tried and true locations and vendors while I also consider working someplace new-to-me a perk, a total asset for both clients and myself. (Plus I research the heck outta places and always arrive super early to location scout). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So before you reach for the list of “preferred vendors” (more on THAT later!) talk to whoever you’ve saved as your favorite photographers and get the scoop on their personalized approach to shooting someplace different. When you work with someone talented that you trust you can be sure to leave with beautiful images no matter the location. And probably even a fresh perspective that you haven’t yet seen on Pinterest — until your photos are pinned, of course! 🙌🏻DOUBLE TAP if you can relate!!!🙌🏻
“I cry aloud to the Lord; I plead aloud to the Lord for mercy....” -psalms 142:1 I paused to underline the words “aloud” when they struck a cord in me, urging me to deviate with a scribbled note on the page. “Speak your pleas OUT LOUD.” I wrote in the margin of my bible. Marinating on this scripture, I heard God’s still small voice connecting this biblical instruction to my own personal calling he has given me to write, speak and testify using what I *thought* would be a currently unfinished blog called Ashley Goodwin Testify. That’s when God made it even more clear: “[This is] not a business, it’s a promise. A legacy. An inheritance and a redemption. Ashley Woods. You are a WOODS. A new legacy. A new family. NEW STORY. The past is gone, you are a NEW creation IN Christ Jesus with a NEW NAME. You will give your testimony and testify as Ashley Woods. You are not a little girl anymore but a woman sewn in Christ Jesus.” Ashley Woods: OUT LOUD”. I committed in ink at the top of my bible page, in awe of how God had taken this call to spread his goodness via the gospel and had made it so clear, so real, shaping my own ideas into his desires and was so generous to even give me clarity in the process on HOW, even giving me a visual of my logo that made me laugh, yes, OUT LOUD, for more reasons than one. I was shook. Follow the rest of the story over on my testimony page @ashleywoodsoutloud hereeeeee we go! 📣 #ashleywoodsoutloud
