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) Emma

Today I’d like you to meet Emma! She’s an awesome senior who will be graduating from Park City High School this Spring. We got together on one of the last warm evenings of fall this year, which just so happened to be Halloween! Fortunately we didn’t run into any zombies while out in the woods… I kid, I kid ;) But really, we did luck out on some incredible sunshine! I LOVED the way her golden hair shone in the buttery light… Not to mention she’s incredibly sweet and fun to be around! Yes, it was a good shoot :) Enjoy some of my favorites!

Emma, thank you so much for spending some of your Halloween with me! You are ever so lovely, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you! I hope the rest of your senior year goes smoothly and is filled with nothing but happy memories :) Good luck next year!

Beautiful Emma!
