Tracy is sponsored by Miller's Professional Imaginghttp://www.millerslab.com/Photograph alongside International Award Winning photographer Tracy Sweeney of Elan Studio, as she explores the enchantment of childhood. Tracy brings her education experience as a classroom teacher and education professor for many years to the photography field, where she is able to direct children in a way that is natural and fun, with the goal of capturing uninhibited interactions with enchanting elements to create magical portraits. Attendees will have the opportunity to photograph in a specifically stylized session, shooting with intent, to create magical images to add to their child portraiture portfolio. Moreover, attendees will explore ways to include enchanting elements in their own images to draw out natural emotion from subject and viewer.

1. Explore the elements of enchantment.
2. Interact with children to draw out natural emotion.
3. Shoot with intent to craft magical child portraits.
Location:
This outdoor Boutique Program will take place at Seattle Center.
The Seattle Center requires a brief ride (approximately 2-3 minutes) on a nearby monorail train that runs on a loop and departs approximately every 10 minutes from the Westlake Center Mall (across the street from the Westin). Travel time can range from approximately 15-24 minutes, depending on group size, how quickly the group moves, and how quickly the group can board the monorail. The Seattle Center is massive with tons of usable shooting space, from green park-like areas to funky walls and sculptures. The Space Needle is located within the Seattle Center. Attendees in programs taking place at the Seattle Center will be provided a round trip ticket for the monorail at the beginning of the program. The group will travel together to the Seattle Center. After the program concludes, attendees may travel back to the Westin at their leisure.
