Portrait of Lori Nay, the Mayor of Gunnison

Meet Lori Nay, Mayor of Gunnison, Utah.

I met Lori’s daughter Amy a few years ago when I spent three days doing headshots for all the employees at Fox 13 in Salt Lake (Amy’s one of the evening anchors, there). Then Amy, bless her heart, told her mayor mother to come to me for her official mayor portrait. She’ll choose from the images I send her which one will hang in the hall at their city office building along with all the other mayor portraits from years past. There will be one difference with this portrait, however. Lori is the first woman mayor in the town history.

We had a lovely time talking about small towns and I asked her why she’s so darn ambitious. I told her meeting people like her and being able to photograph people like her, is the reason I love being a photographer.
