The Lady Photogs
Most of the time Jason and I shoot together. But last week I ventured out on my own with a group of lady photographers for the first of what I hope will be many "Girl Photographers Rock Seattle" outings. :) It was organized by my new photog friend Jen MacNiven. What a great idea! We all had so much fun scouting out places to take photographs and learning from each other. I had never been to the International District in Seattle (I know, how sad is that?), but I would enjoy going back for an actual shoot there now! We took turns being the models, and ended up with tons of great shots of everyone. Here are a few that I took... watch out, there is one guy who joined us, so don't be surprised when you see Dewey among these beautiful women. He was a great addition to the group!
If you have time to check out any of these photographer's websites, you'll be glad you did! They all do amazing work. And you'll have to anyway, if you want to see any of the shots they took of me. Visit their blogs, and just remember...I am pregnant!
Some of the highlights of the night were getting picked on by the security guards around a few private business buildings, watching these photographers transform as they stepped out on "the other side" of the camera, and eating at a real sushi place for the first time! I'm anxious for more times that I can get to know these women even better (and Dewey too!). It's really relieving to find other people who have so much in common--women who are mothers and homemakers and who love taking pictures. People who struggle with the same problems and strive for the same level of creativity and perfection. I can honestly say I've increased my array of rolemodels within this little group, and I would be happy if someone considered me to be anything like these women!
And I was not the only prego one there... this is Elise. Isn't she a great belly model?!?! I wish I looked as good as she does pregnant!

Cortney - I had so much fun meeting you and thanks for giving me yet another local photographer's blog to visit. I've enjoyed getting to see your work. You really have some beautiful shots!
Looking forward to hooking up again some time. And by the way, I admired your bravery for venturing into a sushi place while being pregnant;-)
