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: (Senior) Ashley

Meet the fabulous Ashley! She’s a senior at Park City High School this year. She’s got some wicked dance moves and some of the most gorgeous blue eyes you’ll ever see. We spent the afternoon together taking pictures, and let me say, this girl made my job easy! As you might notice, I don’t necessarily take the most traditional senior pictures, but she completely trusted me and was down for trying anything that popped into this crazy head of mine. She did it beautifully, too, I might add. But don’t take my word for it. Just look at her pictures…

Ashley, you are an incredible person, and it was an honor to take your senior pictures! Whatever you decide to do next year, I have no doubt you’ll succeed in it. And I hope you love these pictures as much as I loved taking them : )
