There could never be enough words for the pictures or pictures for the stories, but here’s an attempt.
From opening a studio to moving my home, to finding home in another – 2011 was a year for stretching and hope and excitement like none other. Hard decisions and lessons learned and long talks at our tree by the river with thanks and goodness in it all.
I left Virginia 15 times for trips around the world and still can’t believe I’m this fortunate. Mexico, Scotland, England, Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands, Tennessee, Florida, California, and a few states in between.
This is the work I’d hoped to do, and now it’s somehow real.
Narrowing down a year of stories for this post was so much more difficult than I expected, like being forced to choose a favorite child. I tried to see it less as favorites and more as a focused collection. Focused on what I’m most proud of, and what I hope to do more of.
I’m forever grateful to the dear-hearts who trusted my work and opened their beautiful lives with kindness, and I hope you enjoy!
Look slowly, share if you like, and know that I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you.
Much love.
xoxo -Anna
