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 : )
Awesome job Carissa! Absolutely beautiful!

These photos are are amazing!! They capture all of the stages of the event!! I love Eric and Macy spooning on the bed before the birth! And I cried at that shot of Macy crying as she is handed baby Knox. What a great story these photos tell. At a thousand words a picture, you’ve got a lot of words covered!!
Congratulations Carissa on telling a beautiful story in pictures! You are very talented. I hope you are there when I have my first baby!
