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: The Esekes

Meet the beautiful Eseke Family! I have a lot of love in my heart for these special people. I could go into quite a bit of detail about how wonderful they are and how kind they’ve been to me, but I will just say this… They are some of the most caring and generous people I’ve ever met, and I am a better person for knowing them. So of course I was thrilled to take some family photos for them :) Despite the bitter cold, they totally rocked it out. And I think they had me laughing more than I made them laugh. (Which is pretty rare. I mean, I’m kind of hilarious.) Enjoy a few of my favorites of this awesome family!!

The fab four :)
