Hello there! I’m Anna Rose (double the name, double the fun). I currently live in Dallas, Texas and am a sophomore at Southern Methodist University. I’m a transplant from Des Moines, Iowa and am extremely proud of my midwest roots. I’m grateful for my education, where I get to study creative advertising and express my creative, passionate soul often (daily, actually).

Welcome to my cozy corner of the web where the pictures I capture (which are plentiful) are presented with sometimes witty, sometimes sassy, but always thoughtful comments. Get ready for lots of talk about art, gratitude, style, fitness, tennis, friendship, and change. Most commonly, I’ll be sharing my experiences and thoughts on Pure Gratitude, Pure Tennis, Pure Fitness, and Pure Love. I hope you enjoy my life through my camera lens and my writing; thanks for checking in to my creative outlet. xx
