Marshall – Downtown Tacoma Portrait Session

You know those people you “meet” online that seem to know a lot of people you know, go to places you frequent and almost seem like you’re acquainted with in the real world? (or meat space as I like to call it).

Marshall is one of those people. I’ve been following him on Instagram for quite some time and like his pics when they come up in my feed, maybe leave a comment if something strikes a chord with me. But we’ve never met. I wanted to change that and I reached out to him to schedule a lifestyle photoshoot. I had an idea in my head and I thought he would be a good fit.

Marshall and I met up in Downtown Tacoma late in the day on a gorgeous Friday afternoon. We had to shoot quickly because the sun drops below the big hill in Tacoma pretty early and casts downtown in shadow. I love this area of town because it has so much grit and texture. Tacoma is a very historic city so there are many old buildings with really interesting signs and old advertisements as well as an overall non-modernized look.

Take a look at what we came away with from this shoot!
