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 Mountain Resort Anytime: (Senior) Katy

Today I get to share some pictures of the gorgeous miss Katy! She’s a senior from the Winter Sports School in Park City, and she’s actually graduating in just a few weeks! So awesome. The reason she goes to the Winter Sports School? She just happens to be an incredible ski racer! Katy’s pretty legit. In fact, she got us permission to drive up on to Park City Mountain Resort for her pictures! Like I said, legit ;) We headed over to CB’s, a run where she’s spent more than one chilly winter day racing down the mountain. (And by more than one I mean hundreds!) It was so awesome be up there and see it covered in glowing light and yellow leaves, instead of seeing it covered with snow and skiers. Quite a different feel! Plus, I got take pictures of Katy, which made it that much better :) Enjoy a few favorites from her lovely session!

Katy, I had sooo much fun with you!! Thanks for trekking around the mountainside with me and spending some time in front of my camera! (Even though it was kind of a workout… haha :) I hope you love your photos, and that they will always bring back good memories of spending so much time at PCMR. And I hope that this winter is your best one yet :) XO

A sunny evening, a chairlift with a view, and a beautiful senior… yep, I loved everything about this session!
