Jordyn Class of 2013 - Salt Lake County Senior Photography

Oh Jordyn. She's a beaut, that's for sure. But I have to say her best quality is her sense of humor. We just laughed the whole time on this shoot. She is a wonderful, wonderful girl. Congrats on graduating this year Jordyn! This was the point where a car full of teenage boys drove by and whistled. 

Drewey Boy

I'm trying to be better about capturing the boys with my big girl camera on a regular basis (as opposed to my iPhone).

I don't know what it is about these rest stops that causes me to see the beauty in my kiddos. Maybe it's the chanc[...]

Melancholy

Today I am melancholy. Probably because it's raining. I keep daydreaming about moving far, far away from here. Not to anywhere in particular.  Someplace warm with lots of trees and the only people we know are each other. Do you ever do that? Long for a fresh start? Where no one knows you? It's ironic because I really am so happy where we are. I am surround[...]
