Four shoots this week and it's only Tuesday! I've been feeling such an expansive shift around my art and my business lately. It's so exciting 🌞 I started Olivia Ashton Photography right out of college, and it's been my vocation ever since. It shifts and morphs with my consciousness, and keeps my world feeling free. I get to mirror people's light back at them for a living. So endlessly grateful 💛

We get to be our own healers. I've been doing a lot of work going back and tapping into the younger versions of myself. The sensitive, shy 5 year old Liv, the sweet and unsure middle school me, the wild 15 year old, the wide eyed 20 year old version of me living in Berlin. Each age came with a set of challenges that I coped with at the skill level that I had at the time. Sometimes these coping mechanisms were evolved and spot on, but often they were destructive in *attempts to self soothe. We do the best we can with the information and skills that we have in the moment. And what's incredible, is I'm learning that I can go back as the woman I am NOW, and parent those parts of myself that didn't know better. I can work with them, I can change patterns that were created out of inexperience, and I can heal and integrate those parts of myself into the ME of the present moment. There's also this new layer of comfort that has swept in while doing this work. It's super meta, but it's the knowledge that as long as I keep doing the very best that I can in each moment, with skills I have now, an older and wiser version of me is watching the me of now through memories, and doing this same healing and integration work from a more evolved space. 👁

One one level, we're made up of all of the cumulative moments of our lives, our individual expression an ever growing orchestra, building, striking a harmonious chord that is us in the present, NOW. We get to be our own healers, and we get to tune our expressive melody.
