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 Engagements: Jackie + Caleb

You guys, my brother is getting married on SATURDAY!!!!! I’m so excited!!! Things have been crazy busy for the three of us these passed months, but we managed to squeeze in a little engagement shoot before the big day, and I’m SO glad we did. Go figure it turned out to be one of my favorite engagement shoots to date! The light we had that day, oh my word… Plus, I had been giving Caleb a hard time, telling him that he needed practice in front of the camera because the last time I had taken pictures of him I remembered him being juuust a little stiff. WELL, he proved me wrong! I’ve got to give him credit, he did his thing in front of the camera! And so did Jackie, but I knew she would ;)

Caleb and Jackie, I love you guys so much and I can’t WAIT for Saturday!!! XO
