I’ve got lots to blog! First off I get SUPER nervous everytime another photographer asks me to do a session for them. Some things that randomly run through my mind?
-What if their style isn’t the same as mine?
-What if I don’t get the shots they want?
-What if they totally take over the session?
-What if? What if? What if?
Well when Kellie called me from Oregon, I thought all of the same things! They were taking a weekend away together and wanted some fun shots in Seattle, to remember when they first met. Her only directions were fun, colorful, and she wanted them either in Pike Place Market or Pioneer Square.
Even though I’ve lived here for almost 6 years, I haven’t done a session in either of those places yet! So I was super excited to be able to shoot there. Kellie found the famed “bubble gum wall”. I had heard about it, but never knew where it was. To my surprise it was right around the corner of Pike Street Market, which I’ve been to dozens of times! I think it’s my new favorite place to shoot (that alley way)…….HINT HINT- anyone wanting portraits, contact me and we’ll take a trip to Seattle! I also think I need to do some more exploring in Seattle. I was in photography heaven there!
Anyway, I had such a great time with Kellie and her husband Brian. I kept calling him Michael the whole time (EMBARASSING!)…..I probably just spelled his name wrong here! EEEEK! So let’s just get to the good part- the photos! Here’s a Sneak Peek Kellie! I had the most wonderful time with you guys and I hope to see you later this summer!
And yes friends! In the photo below, that is ALL chewed up buble gum stuck to the wall……craziness!
Post Alley is so cool and I have many more awesome pictures in their gallery (coming soon!)…..a Storm Trooper Wall, etc. LOVE this place!
I coined this the poster wall. I don’t really know what it is called, but I liked the back drop. So urban!
Everyone should ignore your inhibitions, stand on a street corner like you’re a model and get some fierce photos! These are some of my favorites, as well as some on the corner accross the street!
Then we found this other wall down ANOTHER alley way. I saw this bricked in window and snapped away! Such a fun shoot!
And I’ll probably regret doing this, but Kellie wanted a pic of her and I, so Brian took this pic of us. I rarely post pics of myself because like any other photographer, I’m MUCH more comfy behind the camera directing and being in control!
Notice my weird kind of half smile? OH GEEZ….I think I’ll stop now before I take the pic down!
