Ashley and Big Sur

Ever since I met Ashley, I've been totally blown away by her beauty! I had always wondered why she wasn't a model. She has the most perfect face, hair, a bangin' body, and she's the sweetest little thing!

Little did I know, modeling was something that she's always wanted to do. She's super into fashion, has always wanted to start a blog, and has an amazing eye for everything artsy fartsy! She was nervous about taking the leap and doing it... maybe others would judge. It was so awesome to see her finally do what she wanted to do! Its such a liberating feeling to stop caring what people think. She is still very new to blogging and modeling, but you would never know. She's a natural! I never have to direct her because she knows how to pose, she knows exactly what to wear based on her location, and her blogging subject matter is the beeees knees!

It is such an honor to be able to help girls make their dreams reality. To help them realize that they are beautiful, to help them walk away with CONFIDENCE! To give them a breath of fresh air. It is such a powerful thing.

This particular day, Ashley and I decided to make an insanely LONG road trip. It was just a day trip, but we decided to drive up to Big Sur (4.5 hours away!) and back! We were there for about 3 hours, got lost a few {OKAY, SEVERAL} times! LOL we both suck so bad at directions, it was bound to be disasterous. But we were going to make sure we got what we came there for... AMAZING shots! We froze our booties off, and nearly fell asleep on the road, but it was so worth it! See for yourself below:
