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 : )

Red Pine Lodge Wedding: Micia + Seth

Last month I had the privilege of shooting Micia and Seth’s breathtaking Canyons Resort wedding with Dustin Izatt, and what a privilege it was!! The couple painstakingly planned every last little detail, and to say it paid off would be an understatement. The day was flawless. When I say flawless, though, I don’t mean the day didn’t have it’s fair share of hiccups. It was flawless because, even in the midst of a few things going wrong (including the string that held Micia’s dress together breaking while she got dressed!), it could not have been a more joyful day. Micia and Seth celebrated their love together with their family and closest friends. The rest was all just icing on the ~~extremely satisfying and delicious wedding~~ cake!

Congratulations Micia and Seth, on such a beautiful, meaningful wedding!! It was truly honor to witness. And a REALLY big thanks to Dustin for having me along!!! Be sure to check out his blog here.
