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 : )

Just a Taste

This weekend I had the privilege to attend a workshop put on by Brooke Dahle, the photographer behind Blush Photography, and ohhh what a wonderful experience that was!!! Brooke is pretty much the queen of posing, and I can’t wait to apply some of her tips to my own photography. I’m still trying to process everything (literally and mentally, ha), but I’m left feeling extremely inspired and motivated. I can’t wait to share some of it with you in the next few days, but until then, here is a little behind the scenes taste : )

Brooke showing us how it’s done. (Please notice how hilarious Jared is, the guy on the far right. Our models were awesome!!!)
