Shooting with Dolly Parton and her sister Rachel was a bright and shining moment in my career.

I plated a serving of chicken fried steak in front of the Queen of Country, too awed and nervous to speak. Dolly kindly broke the ice by asking me in her signature drawl, “So honey, how long have you been gravy dumpin?”

She had such a way with words.

On set that day, Dolly made every crew member who crossed her path feel interesting and important. And she did it in 6 inch stilettos. What a talent. What a spirit. What a loss.

Rest in peace Dolly. Thank you for the many gifts you shared with the world.

And thank you to my @realhomechef HomeChef fam and @loveinthelox for trusting me with this shoot. I’ll never forget it.

Reminds me of this scripture: “And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.” - Mosiah 2:41 from the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ
