Too FUN!  I was praying - where to start this photo shoot for a modeling portfolio / plus kind of a senior pictures shoot too... Garret was interested in a variety of scenes for his pictures.  Variety in textures, shapes & colors:  Downtown!  And God gave me the IDEAL private rooftop starting spot, with the SMITH TOWER (wow! iconic!) as our backdrop.  I'm in love with that beginning of this shoot. Garret is so easy to work with :)

I love the Smith Tower, tallest building in Seattle when built in 1914, and very pretty to me :)

One fabulous reason for our successful photo shoot was my wonderful assistant - the very first time I've worked a photoshoot with someone I've wanted to do this with forever - Nicole :)  She adjusted clothing, gave great ideas, & brought music - it was crazy fun, satellite music traveling with us as we walked down the street - 80s flashback without the boombox, as this beauty fit in Nicole's jacket pocket :)  Alleys & waterfront in Pioneer Square:

Garret's mom, Andrea, gifted the party with a warm up in a coffee shop - I don't think we realized we were chilled until we tried to wrap our fingers around coffee mugs :)  

Then Golden Hour:

The sun is seriously sinking now... and Andrea, came prepared... she drove her car up a dizzying 12 floors to our roof - so she is now providing our only LIGHT! Along with the reflector held by Nicole.

And thus, my favorite images of the evening...

That's a wrap!  Party snaps at the end! We're all feelin' happy :)

And that, friends, is why I love being an Artist of Photography :)
