Senior portraits

This week I photographed beautiful Addi who is graduating this spring. I've known Addi for about 8 years as I'm close friends with her mother and it's been a joy to watch Addi grow into the great young woman she is today. We had such a fun day together photographing despite rainclouds, wind and unexpected cold weather with her mother acting as my "assistant" and being a pro with those reflectors (even the one that broke in the wind;).

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Addi!

I go down to the shore...

I Go Down To The Shore

"I go down to the shore in the morning

and depending on the hour the waves

are rolling in or moving out,

and I say, oh, I am miserable,

what shall-

what shall I do? And the sea says

in its lovely voice:

Excuse me, I have work to do."

-Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings 

"Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. You are not here long." -Walker Evans

I miss summer...

After two weeks of 0 temperatures here in Utah, I miss warmth and I miss summer. I know, I know...I do love my snow and winter but seriously, it's too cold to ski right now (I'm a wimp and I have had too many frostbite in my days that in these temps, my toesies freeze).

So I'm sitting here going through summer shots and thought I'd post something that can warm us all up...at least in spirit:).
