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 : )

Park City Anytime: Cheryl

Meet Cheryl, my wonderful cousin! She moved to good ole Park City this passed winter, and I have absolutely loved having her here. Being this close I’m starting to get to know her on a deeper level, and it has totally enriched me. She has such a beautiful heart, and her kind spirit rubs off on everyone she’s around! I’m just glad she’ll be around for a while now, so that she can keep rubbing off on me ;) This past weekend we had some Golden Delicious light that I simply couldn’t let go to waste (seriously, the light was AMAZING), so Cheryl kindly obliged and spent a little time in front of my camera. Enjoy some of my faves!

Cheryl, thanks for going out on a whim, putting up with my crazy antics, and rocking it in front of my camera! To me, these pictures prove that you are as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. I’m so thankful we have this time together, and I can’t wait to see what God does next in your life! Xo.
