Salt Lake City Guide to 20 Colorful Walls Great for Blogger Photos

Wednesday, October 12, 2016

I have been dying to share this with you all since we moved here! When we flew out from Chicago to look for places to live, we scoured the city and came across some really cool spots for photos.

After 11 years working with middle schoolers, I have a trained eye for finding "graffiti." I almost have an intuitive feeling before I find these things. Granted, these are no middle schooler vulgarities. these are super-colorful and interesting walls and some even works of art.

I've gathered my top 20 spots, including addresses, so you can stop there and take pics too! All are no more than 15 mins from downtown Salt Lake.

Bonus? It's kind of fun to watch me change in various stages of pregnant in these pics since I've been pregnant 8 of the 11 months we have lived here.

    1. I don't think anything tops Chicago backdrops, at least to me. But next time your visiting fam, maybe you should swing over to SLC and shoot a few outfits here with me!
