When I was little, I used to pretend I was a horse. Or a wolf. Sometimes a tiger. Whatever suited my fancy. I was one of thooose girls. I didn't really play with dolls or put on lipstick and wear my mom's heels. Instead, I created elaborate stories in my head and played them out for hours, sometimes days, until the story was complete.

As I got older, I thought for a time that I wanted to be a writer. Instead of acting out the stories in my imagination, I tried to put them on paper. I would sit down and start these grand novels, only to begin another one after a few chapters in the first. I had every intention of finishing them. I just... never did. Apparently writing isn't my strong suit.

Then I found a camera. Jackpot. I found a way to stop time. To tell real stories. The kind of stories that should be remembered. Need to be remembered. Stories full of life and love that beg to be preserved and shared.

So I guess you could call me a story teller. A really, really ridiculously blessed and happily married story teller who can't cook but laughs a lot and has three dogs. I love my life.

And I'd love to tell your story : )

Music Monday

Every January the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake hosts an awesome bridal fair for all you lovely ladies out there who got engaged over the holidays (or anytime recently, for that matter), and this year it’s on the 14th from 11:00am-6:00pm. Yep, this Saturday! I’ll be there, and I would love to see you there!! There will be over 100 great local vendors, not to mention some food and entertainment, and I’ll be giving away a free engagement session. So, if you’re stopping in to check out the wedding planning madness, be sure to drop by and say hello! It would totally make my day :)

Another thing that makes my day? Snow Patrol. Particularly at the start of a crazy busy week. (Well, actually, I love them anytime. But it’s a crazy busy week. So adding in that tidbit seemed appropriate.) Enjoy one of my favorites!

And here is a little sneak peek of all I’ve been working on for my booth. It’s not quite done yet, but in my head it’s going to be really great. Let’s hope it turns out how I envision in my head ;)
