Awesome! I can't wait to see how this blog transforms and I look forward to following along!
your personal and exploratory moments are my favorite, and the ones I value most that you share. i'm excited to stick with ya. excited to continue watching (and learning from) your growth.
Bravo Sarah. Here's to a year of creating and being and living out of honesty and not obligation. Love your vision girl:)
Rock it out, Sarah...I can't wait to see what 2012 holds for you! :)
I LOVE YOU, Sarah! I'm so happy for you and so excited to follow your growth and journeys chronicled here in a new way. I actually made the same decision recently for my own blog. In the coming year and beyond I'm only blogging as I want to ... and only what I want to. A personal blog more than a work blog. Thank you for continuously inspiring me to follow my hot spots, to revisit my WHY, and to live live live. xo, AM
i love this, sarah, and i'm super proud of you, lady. you have been // continue to be a huge inspiration and encouragement to me, and i'm so grateful to you and for you! i've been describing 2011 as my 'harvest year', so this post really resonated with me. it's time to sow again, me thinks! cheers to you, and another wonderful year -- i hope our paths cross again soon. xx
You are so inspiring in both your words and all the beauty you create with your lens and heart. I look forward to following your personal journey on this blog more. Happy 2012!
Way to go you guys. Wishing you another year of growth and sticking to what matters most, cheers to you & 2012!
Thank you for sharing this. I have so loved watching as you have traveled your beautiful road and can't wait to see what you do next. Congratulations Sarah and Chris.
This post struck a cord with me...especially the "focus more on creating & less on things that pull me away from that" how so very true that is! Wishing you all the best in 2012 thank YOU for the constant inspiration ! Big Hugs! xx
Please keep blooging your thoughts!... It's so inspiring!!!
Thank you!
And best wishes for 2012...
All pictures are awesome that depicts amazing team work and a lot of creative ideas .I m waiting for more photos.Really stunning work done !
Golly Moses. If I believed in reincarnation, I'd want to reincarnate into an amazing photographer like you two :)
i love the energy and light in this shoot. truly an impressive collection of images, very inviting. thank you for sharing your process and your results, very inspiring. with love, briana
Megan B is such a freaking rock star. I would kill to work with her. Sarah and Chris, this shoot is freaking fantastic. Everything about it is great. I tweeted Chris this, but holy crap, you are brave holding that PhaseOne without a neck strap!! Is that y'alls or did you rent it for the shoot? Anyways, fantastic job as always. I feel bad always lurking and never commenting! I tell people this all the time, but you two are my biggest inspirations (aside from Steve Jobs), and that's saying a lot! Keep up the amazing work. I think I'm going to work on a personal project for myself. Time for a pick-me-up! Cheers!
wow. so much goodness in all of this. looks like you kids had a blast.
These are all just so amazing! What lovely work. I want to bottle that light and take it with me.
what the what. snap. these are deliciously perfect. i want to stare at them all day. and i want to be them. i'm inspired!
stunning, stunning, stunning work!!!!! so beautiful.. can you tell me, what lens did you use for this shot?
I worked at Cave B for a few summers, and spent time after/before my shifts hiking these paths. I'm going to let everyone in on a secret: Though Cave B is beautiful, the Rhoads managed to make it look even more amazing than it is (an impressive feat).
Your work is so inspiring to me. Love!!!!!
You guys are so unbelievably talented! I love love love these images!!
YES!!! Here is to more personal projects. Follow your passion and your passion will leave an amazing trail. Amazin' job Sarah and Chris ;)
Love these! Makes me want to go hang out with friends in the desert :)
Love the hippie vibe and the sun we never see anymore.
good gosh you guys. What the frigg. super glory. Loved this set.
SARAH! These are so, so beautiful. I love every single one of them. You're amazing.
I saw this over on your commercial blog - i love the energy and life you have the ability to bring out in people, whether it's couples, families, models, whoever... you guys have such a gift. That second frame is an absolute stunner, and I love the shot on the ground with the guitar, but as a set, this shoot wins! Great job guys. Love following along with your creative evolution :) xo
i love every little bit of this shoot- personal posts are my favorite- it's the best feeling to just go out with some friends and have fun/shoot/be creative! Great work as always, Sarah and Chris!
Sarah, is this awesome graphic your work?
If so, could you please send me a bigger version of this? I don't ask at all for high resolution, I just would like to share it with a friend cause this is exactly what I tried to tell her about the link between ambition and courage.
Be blessed by our lord in these christmas days,
Martin
Wow, just what I needed to hear today! And things I should be reminding myself of every day, as well. So glad I ran into your blog today via Emmadime :)
I am no female but it sounds like your words ring true for all of us. Thanks for the reminder to slap fear in the face.
Sarah - you are amazing! Loved hearing you speak and it made such a difference for me in my life and business. Thanks for being there!
I look at my life and business differently because of you and your speech.
Thank you for taking time out of your life to share with us.
loved having you a part of the conference. thank you for sharing with the attendees and we know that you inspired them all to chase their dreams.
It was great meeting and chatting with you at the HER conference! Thank you for sharing your vision and perspective on attaining your dreams--truly uplifting! Wishing you much continued success as I know you will impart, inspire, and share with others along the way. Signed girl who never gives her name out at Starbucks when there's a long ass line. :)
your genuine spirit and down-to-earth nature are magnetic :), Sarah! too funny that it was a bit scary for you to come speak to us... i think most of us were in awe of you :). excited to watch where your audacious dreams continue to take you, and overjoyed about creating and living out some of my own! (and thank you for posting the pic & linking -- you are TOO sweet!!)
Thanks so much for coming to speak! It was great to see you again. I keep thinking about following urges and dreams and I feel as if I can act on them confidently now, after hearing you speak. Thank you again so, so much!
Sarah, it was an honor to hear you speak, and you did an awesome job by the way! You are a true inspiration!
I love you! The closer I get, the more nervous! If you guys are in OK this winter would love to hang. Otherwise, we'll come to you for another dose;) Hugs to you and Chris from us!
well said Sarah. you are such an inspiration. thank you for always sharing your heart + being real.
How fun :) - we don't get too many snow days where I'm from ;-) (Florida).
We haven't had any snow here in Arkansas yet! I'm kinda jealous...your images just go to show that a good photographer is great no matter what the weather ;)
these are so much fun! awesome post!
Love this, Sarah! I hope you and Chris are constantly discovering new things to be excited and thankful for. Miss you two like crazy!
Was feeling a wee bit jealous when I saw this post yesterday but we finally got some flurries when we drove up in the hills this morning! Love the city shot!
The way you describe the feeling of wonder as a childs curiosity makes me feel like I've somehow misplaced my ability to do so! I haven't seen much snow since October over here in Massachusetts but it'll come, and I'll be out there making the biggest snowman I can! Enjoy the winter weather!
One day I WILL live somewhere where it snows and I WILL play in it like a child. I just love snow so much!
Jealous! The snow looks like so much fun.
I almost bought the same boots!
Great photos!
We had snow yesterday and today here in Portland. While I was able to go out and get a few shots, I'm hoping for much more snow though.
