Charlotte Ashley

Why the Name Change?

Business

11 Feb

I’ve slightly tweaked the name of my little biz for two reasons:  one, from the beginning, I was hesitant to undertake this journey with my name as ‘Charlotte Jennings Photography’ for reasons that are now proving themselves true to me. I should have went with my gut feeling from the start. Let’s just say, my real name + the internet = scares me to death! Second, after consulting with branding professionals, and well, my husband, lol, we’ve all determined that Charlotte Ashley (my middle name) just has a more ‘Southern’ feeling to it which is my heart! I am a Southerner. I love shrimp and grits; I love Live Oak trees with Spanish moss; I love salt marshes; I love tomato gravy and fried okra; and, I love a comfortable, yet humid evening sitting in a tree swing watching lightning bugs and listening to crickets chirping while my kiddo is running around barefooted trying to catch them.

Thus, we have Charlotte Ashley Photography from this point on! 😉

And because a picture is a must with any post, here is one I think back to alot when I start longing to be on the coast! I absolutely adore my doggie daughter : ) She’s so full of life and wonder.

    Love everything about the new website, the name change, etc! The music is perfect, the pictures are awesome, and I love all aspects of it. I completely agree with the name dilemma…your full name issue and the southerness of the business name now. Good luck to sweetheart…you deserve all the best!
    Just wished you lived closer to take my family's pics. 😉

Meet Charlotte!

Hey, hey friend! :) I'm so glad you're here! God gives me all the strength to navigate this crazy, beautiful life of mine; and this is my attempt to keep it somewhat documented and organized! My family and I believe we are called to be stewards of the land and try our hardest to live a biblically-based, holistic life. You'll discover a whole lot about nature, photography, and being a creative entrepreneur if you poke around a little bit on the site! Enjoy. More about me...

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!
We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.

Sixteen years of being this amazing child’s mother. I can’t believe we are here. Today he wanted to spend his day eating barbecue and scouring graveyards for confederate graves. 😳 (I have never?! 🤣) But that’s our Gus! He’s easy-going, tender-hearted, and doesn’t hurry for anything. He loves old, classic country and rock music, and prefers to listen to them from CASSETTE TAPES. 🫠 He loves old soda bottles- the Mountain Dew bottle (from EBay) with his name on it was his only birthday gift request. 🥹 He wants an old truck one day. His favorite shows are Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies. His biggest desire right now is to be a part of a civil war reenactment because history is his absolute favorite! As a friend said, “he’s a million years old at heart”, and he is helping me appreciate things in life I would typically have just blown right past! SO thankful God has afforded us the privilege of being a part of raising this young man. 🙏

I have never, until today during our Latin translations, even WONDERED what ‘alma mater’ means, or the origin of the words. Have you?? It means ‘nurturing mother’ in Latin, which makes so much sense now. 🥴 Why are we conditioned to refer to state institutions as our nurturing mother? 🧐

Found my first ever digital photo files. 😳 Gah, I need to look at these!!! Who can come through for me with a floppy disk reader?! 😆 Y’all, THESE were the memory cards; this was inserted into the digital camera. 🥴🫠

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!
