I work in Belltown, which is a neighborhood just outside of the Downtown retail core of Seattle. Right next to the shop I work at is this wonderful little boutique called Moorea Seal, they specialize in women’s accessories and fashion. Ever since they opened up I’ve thought to myself “It’d be so rad to do a shoot for them”. Well it finally happened.
The team at Moorea Seal is incredible. Wonderful women who really strive to find awesome jewelry and make a positive impact with their shop. They even donate 7% of their profits to non-profit organizations and are supporters of local artisans. All of which are very good things.
Anyways, on to the shoot! We decided to shoot at the University of Washington Botanical Gardens which are really big greenhouses with different rooms that act as different climates. Desert, tropical, moderate, etc. Really awesome facility and very nice faculty as well! We worked through the different “climates” and changed up the styling every so often so we could incorporate different pieces into the shoot. We also shot a bit outside in the surrounding areas.
I’m really happy with this series of images and I cannot thank our model Neal enough. She was incredible and has the best hair.
Take a look!
