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) Kate

Allow me to introduce you to the fabulous miss Kate! She’s a senior from Park City High School and I got to spend some time getting to know her during her senior pictures :) In case you were wondering, she is absolutely as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside! The day of her shoot we woke up to POURING rain, and almost considering rescheduling! Fortunately though, the skies cleared up a bit in the evening and Kate was more than willing to brave the chilly fall weather. I’m so glad she did, too, because despite the cold, the light was beautiful :) Enjoy some of my favorites from this gorgeous girl’s session!

Kate, you are a total gem! And in case you couldn’t tell by my never ending banter during the shoot, I had such a great time with you :) Haha. Thanks for being so willing to try all my ideas! I hope these pictures make you smile and bring back good memories of your senior year. Best of luck in college!
