Aleisha’s senior photo session at the Seattle waterfront<\/h1>\n

A couple of weekends ago I met up with Aleisha and her mom for Aleisha’s senior photo session. \u00a0Due to uncooperative weather it took a couple of tries for us to make this happen, and I\u00a0was starting to worry that we were not going to be able to get the photos taken in time to meet Aleisha’s yearbook photo deadline. \u00a0But we lucked out. \u00a0Even though the forecast for the day was for more rain, when the day started out dry we decided to give it a shot and hope that we could get at least a few photos taken before the wet weather made its appearance. \u00a0As it turned out, we never had even a drop of rain, and if anything it was kind of bright. \u00a0But for any seniors (or their parents) reading this, DON’T\u00a0wait on getting your photos taken until close to the photo deadline! \u00a0Much easier to take them earlier in the fall, or even during the summer. \u00a0And your chances of good weather will be a lot better too!<\/p>\n

We met at the fountain right next to the Seattle Aquarium to start things. \u00a0I was disappointed to find that the fountain\u00a0had been shut off for the winter, and was not working (another reason to get the photos taken earlier). \u00a0But the waterfront area has so many great places for photos that it was no big deal, and even empty the fountain proved to be an interesting spot for a few shots.<\/p>\n

As we wandered the waterfront looking for good photo spots I had a chance to get to know Aleisha a bit. \u00a0She is a senior at Franklin High School, which is also where my father went to high school. \u00a0Aleisha was just wrapping up the high school volleyball season, and would soon be starting play with a select level team. \u00a0She had not yet gotten started on her college applications, and\u00a0hopes to attend the University of Washington next year.<\/p>\n

The waterfront offers a lot of different and unique photo opportunities. \u00a0We got shots with Puget Sound\u00a0and the Olympic Mountains as a backdrop, and others using some of the posters advertising the Aquarium (these were some of my favorites). \u00a0Then we crossed the street and moved under the Viaduct, where we found some other fun spots for photos.<\/p>\n

I have placed a decent sized sampling of of session below. \u00a0Only a small fraction of the complete session, but it will at least give you a good taste of what we did. \u00a0I hope you enjoy the photos, and please leave coments if you’d like to do so!<\/p>\n
