ast Saturday I spent the afternoon with Erin doing her senior photos! We split our time between the woods at Point Defiance park and some more urban locations in downtown Tacoma. A couple weeks before her shoot we got coffee and I learned about her violin skills, so we did a few photos featuring her violin. I coaxed her into playing a little bit for me while we were shooting, it was pretty magical listening to the violin in the middle of a moss covered forest! We've been getting lots of rain these days but thankfully the rain held off on Saturday for our shoot. I'm glad I scheduled the shoot before daylight saving time though! We would've run out of light halfway through the shoot if it was just a few days later. It always sneaks up on me!
