just an idea.

This is a screen shot from the email I sent to Promise in April. It basically said, "hey, I think Epiphanie needs a new website. And I want to have real photographers/creative people modeling the bags and since Epiphanie is all about adventure wouldn't it be cool if the photographers were from all over the world and why don't you be that creative person in the desert?"

Then "just an idea" took me all over the world photographing my favorite photographers (!). I'm still kind of dying over it. I got to visit with old friends, online friends, new friends. It was a complete whirlwind. And a dream. But not also without many moments spent (way) outside my comfort zone. 

As a result, I'm a little more comfortable being in situations where results are uncertain (which hello, is all of them). And my heart is overflowing because I got to spend time with so many inspiring people. I'm feeling grateful.

Also the website turned out more amazing than I ever imagined. A million thank yous to Promise for that. I'm going to be posting more about all these adventures within the next couple of weeks here, and also at the Epiphanie Blog. If you want to read more about what went on behind the scenes of her shoot, click here.  :)

It was definitely worth the effort! The website turned out gorgeous!! That's always the hardest thing for me too, when things are unknown/uncertain.

Oh Maile! The website looks amazing. AMAZING. I'm so freaking proud of you - for turning a dream into such a fantastic REALITY. So cool!

I also love that you named a bag after your Momma. (At least, that's what I'm assuming the GinGer is...) I'd love to know the stories behind the other bags' names.
