Travis + Colleen

Okay, so.. yeah. When Colleen asked me to accompany them to Italy I was like... well, I have no job or money but... I'm going to make this happen if my life depends on it. That was in April. I had no clue what this trip actually had in store for me. I knew that it would be this pivotal moment for me, but I didn't know how much it would change me. I'm so much less afraid. I'm so much more sure of myself as an artist, person, photographer, and traveler- as a matter of fact. I feel like its so easy to get discouraged with the amount of competition, but I knew that if I somehow made this happen... it would change my life.

This month, I unintentionally went "full time photographer" and I literally felt the love POUR IN. I can't wait for what the next chapter brings. I know it is going to be hard, but I know it is going to be worth it. Thank you all for supporting me. Hope you enjoy this taste of Italy. And THANK YOU to Travis and Colleen for believing and trusting in me. xoxo Chels
