I do enjoy escapades in the city - this time, Grace toured Pike Place Market & the waterfront with me. She had affection for the area because she had recently played the tourist there with her boyfriend :) And we also discovered picturesque corners that neither of us had tried before.

We started our afternoon at the small North Seattle studio of Hannah Bush, owner of Urbanista Weddings :)

Usually, I like to make our hair & makeup fun photographs in black & white, to block out any color distractions...

but Hannah and her studio are color cohesive & pretty, peaceful & beautiful just the way they are!

And into the city :)

The entrances for the Pike Place Market Parking structure are on Western Avenue.

The shops along Western Avenue have made this road quirky fun with bright colors ~ a perfect place to start!

The old brick walls lining Post Alley are favorites of mine!

So great to support the Pike Place Market vendors!

I'd like to go back to the Hillclimb stairs between Pike Place & Western to photograph each of

artist Dan Webb's lamp holders who light the way... 

he modeled them after friends of his, and they are each in plain sight but you need to have open eyes to spot them all :)

Grace is off to Whitworth University in the Fall!

She has already completed a couple years of general requirement courses during her Running Start at Cascadia College ~ 

and while there, she enjoyed sparking and planning social occasions for that student body ~

I'm sure Whitworth will be blessed by her imagination & project management skills in similar ways!!

I'm impressed by you, Grace :)

Grace's mum, Kim, was part of a women's bible study I was part of for several years post-college, in Seattle,

during those very formative parts of our lives when we were seeking the Lord intently during many big life decisions.

I can't tell you how the Lord strengthened me, and blessed me including with these friends for life, these witnesses of my journey :)

I was thrilled to reconnect with Kim one year ago and make portraits of Grace at 17.

That adventure story is here.
