Olive Bee, half your age, twice as talented // photographers, inspiration

Sarah - Hi Anna! I just looked at your lovely blog today. I hope all is well in Chicago! I hope to meet you this Summer when I’m there (still sorting out travel dates, etc). Thanks for the tip. I’m going right over there. Still missing Cookie Mag after all these years… ;]

This happens to me every year but this year it’s a bit more profound. A year ago this month was a hard-time for my husband and our family. I’ve been reflecting on that sorrow-filled time and trying not to let it envelope me into a warm but empty cloak of depression. Instead I’m channeling those sad thoughts into something more hopeful, inspirational, and optimistic.

Chelsey - Such a powerful moment in our lives, don’tcha think – when we realize being & making happy is our success & we’re better off not just not trying to “predict” what our audience wants … but not trying to “predict” what life & the universe have in store for us either. xoxo
