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) Grace

Today I’d like to introduce you to beautiful Grace! She’s a senior at Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts. She’s quite the musician… Her voice is as sweet as she is : ) We met on a beautiful Saturday morning, and I had SUCH a great time with her. She’s a natural in front of the camera, not to mention super fun and outgoing. I’ll just say she definitely made getting up so early a bit easier… Haha. So worth it : )

Grace!! Thanks for choosing to spend the morning with me! You seriously have one of the kindest hearts, don’t ever change. I wish you all the best as you finish your senior year and jump headfirst into this crazy thing called life : )

She only had one outfit, but she did little things to change it up, which I am all for. One of them was this hat. Umm, awesome.

Grace, you are unbelievably gorgeous. That’s all.

Love these.

Bombshell.

These two right here? Might be my favorites! She is so full of life.

We had to get a few in with the family dog, Noel. She might not look like it, but she’s about 14 years old and still kickin’! One of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met : )
