Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyI was just wondering, are these like from Olivia’s real camera? I mean, not staged? Cause I thought they were, because first of all the <3 had an 'O' in it (for Olivia?) and also there were no model credits or anything that usually goes on in the bottom of the first picture. Just feeling curious, hope I'll get a response!
Log in to replyThese are pics of Olivia’s BF.
Log in to replyYes they are from my real camera haha! No, not staged. These are of my boyfriend Cooper and I before he left for college.
Log in to replyAww, that’s so sweet! I didn’t think they were and they’re really great :)
Log in to replyOlivia, these are so sad and beautiful i want to cry.
Log in to replythis makes me tear up. Olivia you are beautiful !
Log in to reply<3
Log in to replyI’m sure it’s been asked before, but Olivia what kind of camera do you use? If it’s just a regular disposable then how do you achieve these beautiful images? Olivia can you please document my life in the hopes that it will look even a fraction as lovely as this???

Log in to replyI broke up with my boyfriend o 4 years.
I started crying when I saw these
All the love in the world to you, MissKnowItAll. It gets better.
Log in to replyI love these.
Also THE YEARBOOK IS AMAZING! But i have to ask: why didn’t you guys put in any other reviews besides the real people ones?
Log in to replySpace! We couldn’t include everything; we couldn’t even include all the stuff we love most.
Log in to replysorry if this question has been asked already (I’m sure it has, I just haven’t had time to go through all the comments on other pages) but I’m currently in Ireland, so I was excited about getting the Rookie yearbook through the amazon.co.uk link – but it says that it still hasn’t been released? it also doesn’t have a date listed for the release. when can I expect to get it?
Log in to replythanks, I’m so excited!
You can order it from the American Amazon, but shipping will be expensive. We don’t have a UK release date planned as of now.
oh, okay, thanks anyway – I guess just the fact that amazon.co.uk has it listed is a little misleading? thank you though, hope I find some way of getting it!
Olivia… I’m officially living vicariously through you. kaythxbie.

Log in to replyOlivia, these are staggeringly beautiful (as always). Seriously, I always get excited when I see a photo series with your name on it because I know its going to rock. You make me want to carry a camera every where I go and take candid shots of the people I love. :)

Log in to replyAww, all of the good in love-feelings really come through in these photos :) You really have a talent for capturing atmospheric images that tell a story on their own, Olivia.

Log in to replyIt's just too beautiful.
Oh, wow. It’s like looking through the eyes of someone in love, something I’ve never experienced. Almost, as if momentarily I could feel what love was like. These are so beautiful, honest and bittersweet. Thank you for sharing these.

Log in to replySounds cliche and cheesy but I’m going through heartbreak for the very first time and it hurts so bad and I just burst into tears after looking at the first two pictures. Then I looked through them about five more times with different sad songs playing in the backround. It’s getting better but UGH LOVE SUCKS SO BAD
Log in to replyI really like these photos, you can really see Olvia’s love for her boyfriend in each one of them. So cute. I especially love photo number 6, I think it’s just perfect.
