MADDY GRAD
JAYDEN – Grad Banquet
Grad! or prom as it’s called for our southern friends đ Â has long since come and gone!! My website was under construction and it was killing me to wait so long to post these! BUT I’m glad the new site looks SO much better đ
I can’t believe that we’ve made it through another school year and another one has started. I had the privilege of photographing Jayden for her senior photos back in June (you can check those out here, and then also for her grad/prom photos before she took off to party like it’s 1999! hahah I’m such a nerd. I couldn’t resist! This year was the last of the ’90’s kids to graduate!! Man that makes me feel old. I graduated in 1999!! Ahhh! Isn’t it amazing how fast time flies!? Makes me want to dig out my grad photos…
Anyways, Jayden looked absolutely stunning in her dress. She ordered it off of PromGirl and I’m amazed that all she needed for altering was the length! It was perfect on her! Her hair looked incredible! I loved how it was perfectly imperfect. I love doing make up and she trusted me to do hers for the banquet (no pressure, right?).
Her boyfriend, who is super sweet, had flown in all the way from Minnesota to be there for her graduation. They looked absolutely adorable together and it sounds like they had a great time at the banquet. We were able to grab a few photos with mom and dad before they headed down to the banquet. I’m glad her parents were able to be in on some of the pictures, it’s just as important to them as it was her. Â Congrats Jayden and I wish you all the best as you start your new journey at Brigham Young University!

JAYDEN – Grad 2017
It was an absolute pleasure taking grad photos for this beautiful girl. Today I’d like to you meet Jayden. Smart, talented and kind are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about this young woman. Jayden is a senior at Robert Thirsk High School. She used to be a competitive dancer, and she loves to ski, go on hikes, and read.
I have to mention that I am SO happy the schools have started to let the kids have their cap and gown a couple days before the grad ceremonies. I loved that we were able to use them in her photo shoot. When I was graduating (way back in the day), they let us pick up our gown about an hour before the ceremony started and then we had to turn them in as soon as it was over. It didn’t leave much time for photos with them. Glad that has changed!!
I asked Jayden whether she had any advice to offer others who were getting ready to take senior pictures. This is what she had to share:
âJust have fun while having your pictures taken because some of the best pictures are the ones where you’re laughing or being yourself! Don’t stress and have fun with it,â Jayden said.
After high school, Jayden will be attending Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo and taking a Bachelor of Science in Neurology. That’s pretty impressive!!
Jayden’s younger sister came along to the shoot, so we snuck a few photos of the two of them together. I’m so happy she came along as I think they will treasure these for years to come!
Best of luck to you, Jayden. I know you’ll do wonderful things!
KRISTYN | Class of 2014
You’d think we took these in October, but no, sadly it’s almost the end of May! With all this rain I’m hoping we start getting some green. Kristyn and I had a great time doing her high school grad pictures.
Isn’t she lovely?!
