I had the tremendous privilege today to meet up with some photographers I met on the Seattle ReSTARt facebook group. I really, really love cherry blossoms, so I knew I had to go to UW this year and capture the beauty there for my promo video. I put my idea out on the Fb group and it was like overnight our plan emerged, complete with two brides and an assistant. Thank you everyone who came and made it a special, fun day! Shout out to:  Reb ecca , Cheryl , Jennifer ,  and Jenny , 4 amazing photographers who came out to enjoy the fun, take photo and video and generally come with lots of ideas and open hearts! More to come in the near future, Enjoy~ Gretchen This is my friend Ari! Isn't she beautiful? Ari had a vintage headpiece that was so amazing!  Her eyes are so lovely! Ari in the blossoms.....sigh! The loveliest of them all! A little black and white to bring out the vintage feel.

I had so much fun collaborating with a group of photographers who I connected with on the Seattle Restart fb page on this portrait session. Brent and Natalia showed up dressed in their super cute, retro outfits. She even wore suspenders! (I later found out that Natalia owns an awesome upscale consignment store in Seattle, I'm drooling over. Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/sellyoursoleseattle ) My new friend, Erica Sciarretta, who owns http://sorellaphotos.com/ invited Brent and Natalia to model for us. They were married sometime in the last year and as you can see, they have that "I cannot keep my hand off you" vibe! Another new friend, Candy Acosta secured the fun location for our learning pleasure in Northgate. You can check out her lovely photography here: http://www.candyacostaphoto.com/ . Besides getting to shoot and create with a wonderful group of photographers, I also enjoyed just being able to talk and ask each other questions. Watching...

www.GretchenFawnPhotography.com I have to admit, I have never been to see the cherry trees blossoming at UW! I mentioned that I was feeling very inspired on my fb page and I was going to get myself out there. I finally did. I was able to meet my brother Alex, who goes there, and we had a fun time. I was not expecting it to be a tourist attraction on a Sunday. In fact, I was thinking no one would be there on a Sunday at school. I could not have been more wrong. There were so many people, it was hard to get  a picture without 15 or so others in the background. I didn't mind though, because it was about taking in the beauty of these amazing trees and soaking up some sunshine. We walked all around and saw birds nests and other beautiful blossoms too. We even went into the library and shot some images. Please make your way over to UW to the "quad" this week as they will be gone before you can blink! Enjoy! Gretchen
