LOVE that photo! :) I'd be hiding inside with you - people actually die for these sales! No discount is worth that.
Love love love the fun photo :) Would LOVE a mentor session with you guys - stop by England!!
This came at the very moment i needed it - as most amazing things do.
Haha, oops! Meant my last comment on your Santorini, Greece post. Though I love this post too :)
I, too, am an ENFP! And I struggle with all of the same things that Elle struggles with--WOW. It is nice not to feel alone in that. I am so proud of you, Sarah, and am really, really encouraged by your post. Thanks for breathing life into things I shrink away from.
the best thing I remember from my days of ski racing is that there is no better feeling than doing something you are afraid of. I say, bring it fear.
Oh my lil personality twin, how I feel you! "Areas ENFP's struggle with- initiating too many projects and not beling able to deliver on all of them. Introducing too much change and not leaving workable-routaines alone" At least this is what I struggle with.
Anyway- my tattoo is a quote from Rainier Rilke " Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror, just keep going, no feeling is final"

Sarah... I'm right there with you! Have you ever read Pressfield's, "The War of Art" ?
Excellent read for anyone. Especially for those who create.
Keep fighting!
great thoughts Sarah! i love your blog not only for your stunning images but also for your insightful (and totally relatable) musings. would love to have a mentor session with you someday... much love from singapore :)
I just got a tattoo on my forearm that says, "Fear Not." I got it because I'm a naturally fearful person and I need reminders in my life to step out in faith. Thanks for being another reminder for me.
There are a lot of things I love about this post.
A. her dress.
B. the photo.
C. the message.
Actually C, should be A.
I've been thinking about fear a lot lately and I actually don't think it's a bad thing when I let it DRIVE ME and push me. It's when it paralyzes me that I'm in trouble. But I'm not letting that happen. This is my way of punching fear in the face :)
Love this..I am the same way. I love the sentence you wrote...it is inspiring and resonate with my own personal goals for growth at this moment.
I feel that same way daily. I get scared, even with what I am most confident with. I also constantly try make a conscious effort to fight it, and to push myself far beyond my potential.
needed to hear that today. thanks! beautiful words and photo.
Thank you for the insightful thoughts, you speak to my heart! Oh and I love the image….. I wonder who paints all of that beautiful white grout in Mykonos. (wink)
i love this. great points made and it's something i need to adapt into my own life.
Perfect words and a perfect time for me to hear them. thanks for inspiring and reminding me to let go of fear. Xoxo
well said. what scares you, Sarah? way to be unstoppable!
Awesome words! I can highly relate. Thank you for reinforcing what I know I should do.

Have an amazing time, and become present with all that surrounds you. You are so incredibly blessed to be living the life you are living and to realize this is even more incredible. XO
I crave that feeling as well being up in the calmness of the sky..there is nothing like it. Sometimes I just want to get a ticket and fly somewhere to sort my thoughts, dreams and aspirations.I always feel like I learn new things about myself and figure things out when I am on a plane and when I step off in the real world that I can conquer anything. You two have the most amazing trip! I can't wait to hear about your adventures and experience when you return! I am planning a backpack trip to Greece next year so it will be nice to hear what you guys take away from it! Love you two!!
Oooooh, Santorini is the best! You should totally hire a quad bike or a scooter and cruise around the island together. You'll feel like a free spirit! Have fun!
what an amazing way to celebrate a birthday! hope you enjoy your greek food and come back refreshed for the fall! (oh yeah, amazing picture of the sky!)
I feel the exact same way when I'm flying :) but I've never been able to explain it the way you did. I hope you guys have an amazing trip! Awesome photo!
wow, Sarah. you're 25. so much depth. so much vision. so much sweetness and ripeness from such a young fruit. may you continue to grow and develop tenfold as your years continue. watch out, world.
On Santorini, I highly recommend spending time in Oia. Fira is nice, but much busier. Oia is on the top tip of the island and is just beautiful to browse and walk around in. Speaking of sunsets- in the evening, everyone gathers at the very top point at the end of the island in Oia to see the sunset. You have to get there early to get a spot, and I would bet that might beat out any other sunset as the best you've ever seen. The ocean slowly swallows the sun. We were married in Oia and honeymooned there for two weeks. Best experience ever.
you're only 25? amazing! i love your work. have a wonderful trip!
What an amazing privilege and opportunity for you to go to Greece. It's up there on my list! This is a beautiful image, and I agree, no matter how short a flight I take, if I look out the window, I always begin to think a little deeper, see a little clearer, and dream a little bigger. Hope you have an amazing time, I can't wait to see your photos from the trip. Have fun! :)
You guys are the best...by far my favorite photographers! :)
Sarah/Chris: I'm so incredibly impressed at how gorgeous each and every one of these photos are- what an inspiration. Hope that 2011 brings you as many beautiful adventures together!
All from last year?? INCREDIBLE. Every single shot is gorgeous. Congrats on a seriously epic year. Excited to see what you two do next year!
Haven't seen the playing cards one before and absolutely think it's fantastic. Ahhhhhh your'e so fun! Thank you for the inspiration last year, and I'm so excited to keep watching for more in 2011!

Thanks for everything you do and for being an inspiration to me. It's really encouraging to see people not falling into a rut where they're comfortable enough. I think I'll try to take up doing more personal projects this coming year.

I absolutely adore the first image (and all that follow). Thanks for being an inspiration this year. Be blessed in the twenty eleven... :)

What a gorgeous body of work and an incredible list of adventures! Thank you for sharing your 2010 journey, and wishing you an amazing 2011! All the best to you both!! :)

Well, I've only discovered your work and I have to simply say that you deserve every accolade and wonderful thing that's come to you. Your work is spectacular and there is a certain spirit to it that tends to put it over the edge, for me at least.
Keep it up, you two are an inspiration.
