I Just Might Explode

Brittany

Before I left Idaho, I spent an evening with Brittany, a sweet girl from my high school. I was the co-director of my high school Writing Center last year and Brittany actually was the first person I ever workshopped. Not that this girl's writing needs workshopped, she is brilliant! 

We had spoken some before we did her pictures, but it wasn't until this shoot when we got to know each other. She is awesome. We talked and talked and talked and even got some cute pictures to boot.

Here are some of my favorites:

Brianna Senior Photos

I had the opportunity to take my friend Brianna's Senior Photos a few weeks ago and I think this shoot is one of my new favorites.

Brianna and I have gone to the same church since we were babes and I don't remember ever not knowing her. Her and I have had some great memories together, like that one time at 8th grade church camp when I called her a bitch(we've since reconciled) or the time we tried to drive an automatic locking grocery cart out of the parking lot or when we went to McCall for 4th of July(my hair was blonde! haha) our many boy-talks over coffee.I love you, dear!

Pretty, pretty Brianna:

 

I wish I could speak French

Ah! I've been trying to work on blogging every day, but my brain is at that two-weeks-of-school-left-and-I-will-scream mushy stage where I have the explicable urge to use CAPS, like, ALL THE TIME while writing school papers. But, seriously, English teacher? The AP test was last week. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT COMPARING POETRY AND READING ABOUT WRITING WELL AND THINKING.

I'm better now.

I've been working on my new class. I am getting really excited about it! My guest designers(yes, designers) are two amazingly talented artists and the content is inspiring and oh my gosh, can it PLEASE be summer?

I have been reading too much dooce... 

Anyhow. Here is some eye candy from the shoot with my friend Natalie. She's a hottie.

Kanda

I realized a few weeks ago that I realized hadn't yet shared these Senior photos of my friend Kanda. Kanda and I met our Sophomore year when we were in Color Guard together(which I am trying to forget, haha). Kanda is insane. I don't know a soul that dislikes her, she is crazy and funny and thoughtful. We hit it off, but when Junior year came, we both quit Color Guard and didn't see each other much. We ended up in the same English class first semester this year and became really good friends and now she's crazy confident and hilarious and, well, just amazing. When I went up to the mountains during Spring Break, her and Brenna came with me... And, ahmagosh, hadn't laughed so much in two days IN MY LIFE.

Last night was our Senior Prom(that I skipped and went out to a fun dinner with Sara) and I freaked out when Brenna texted me and told me Kanda won Prom queen. I know it's kinda silly, but my faith in humanity was restored! :) It was a nice break from the jock/cheerleader kings and queens of the past and so cool to someone genuinely kind win. I love what she wrote here afterwards.

Did I mention that she is BEAUTIFUL?
