adventuring || seattle


Several weekends ago my mom, two sisters (Olivia + Anne), and I ventured up to beautiful Seattle, Washington to visit with some family. I'm no city girl, but Seattle is one of those pretty places that makes skylines amiable.

There are so many gorgeous lights, streets, views, grand examples of architecture, markets (ever heard of Pike's Place? Photographer + tourists' heaven--sadly we didn't get to visit this time.), etc. to see, and so many things to do. It was all I could do to keep from snapping pictures of every random sign + vehicle in the vicinity; it would pretty much be my dream to do a city shoot in this town.

However, we simply adventured around the neighborhood and meandered down a few city sidewalks.

Here's a gritty streeview for you. //


Yep, if you like homeless dudes holding signs that say, "Visions of a cheesburger, please help,"
Toms on every foot,
a latte in every hand,
street names like "Queen Anne,"
a ferris wheel in the distance and a skyline of grandeur,
you've gotta go visit Seattle.

  3. Lovely photos! I live in Seattle, so the city seems more mundane to me, but your pictures show old sights in a new light.(:

    1. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what do you use to edit your photos? VSCO?

    2. Thank you, Jemimah; I'm so glad you've added Seattle to your list. It definitely is a fun place!

      Yes, I do use VSCO at times to edit my photos--I have the 002 package. Though most of my editing is done with presets I have made myself based off of VSCO. :)

    1. Yes, I do normally shoot in RAW. Editing in LR 4 automatically converts my images, though you can do it in-camera, too. :)

  25. Seattle (and Portland) are my favorite places in the whole world, even though I haven't even begun to explore the endless amounts of cities. I am determined to live in Seattle when i'm older and possibly go to collage there. i'm so lucky I live less than an hour away ♥
