I am so excited to visit Seattle and the iconic Pike Place public market but what I am even more excited about is being able to work side by side with you as we take on family photography. I love connecting with and photographing families. I will demonstrate how I get them to relax in front of the camera and how I encourage them to feel comfortable connecting with one another. Bring your camera if you'd like to shoot at this fun family session!
Learning Objectives: 1) how to connect with clients before and during a session 2) how to create natural images that showcase a family's love for one another 3) how to use available light 4) how to shoot families with emotional triggers to help them connect, laugh, and have fun
Location: This outdoor Boutique Program will take place around Pike Place Market, the Gum Wall and Post Alley, and/or the waterfront.
This urban area provides a lot of opportunities for interesting backgrounds and is only a few blocks away from the Westin. Pike Place Market is a busy urban market that is an iconic tourist destination. The Gum Wall and Post Alley provide interesting urban street scenes, as well as great color and texture. Beyond the Market, Gum Wall, and Post Alley, your group may venture down to the waterfront. The waterfront boardwalk area is a lovely place for capturing scenic shots of the sky, cityscape, and the ferris wheel. Please note that there are many steps required to get from the market to the waterfront. There is a small elevator available. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes to walk to Pike Place Market from the Westin, and the waterfront is an additional 10 minutes beyond the Market. To return to the Westin from the waterfront at the conclusion of the program (remember this walk is uphill), please budget 20-25 minutes.
