Maranda Ashley Photographer

. - -? It is easy to get swept up in emotions and absorbing all the energies and voices... Don't forget to self care today and to give your mind a rest Do something fun! ... I took 15 minutes to do this little edit on a photo of my pup. Being creative always helps bring me back to center. How do you stay present?? lemme know!

I'm going crazy over some of these!!!

I've been putting in work on my design and photoshop skills this year. This set that i just finished for homs is one of my new favorites that i've done! I'm so drawn to the editorial magazine-style editing style... so if you see me looking at the magazine rack for too long, know that I'm ABSORBING and STUDYING! (most of the time ) You can check out the blog that we put together for Massaly's interview at https://bit.ly/3rHKlHO ... Sahara Sun Heart On My Sleeve

It's such a cool feeling getting holiday cards in the mail from people i've taken pictures of during the year! I hope everyone had a happy and healthy season! It was different this year for so many people for so many reasons, traditions are one of the things that brought me comfort and happiness this year... and i hope for you too!

If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it’s already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer. -Eve Arnold
