Port Townsend!

I finally have images ready to show from my trip to Port Townsend…it’s about time I know!

I spent a wonderful week at the Chevy Chase Beach Cabins (a great little spot hidden just south of Port Townsend with adorable cabins) battling the weather to get a few final shots for my portfolio. When the sun was out, which was usually only in the mornings, I tried as much as possible to shoot outside. When the clouds rolled in I took advantage of the wonderful window light that came through the cute white framed pane-glass windows.

It was a nice change of pace to be on location and outside, but boy did it take a lot of preproduction planning…and some careful packing…to get all of the right gear, props, food, etc. out to Port Townsend. After having developed a good workflow when shooting at home, it was definitely strange to be “unplugged” and shooting with only natural light, fill cards, and a camera. But I enjoyed the challenge! Even though I didn’t get to shoot everything that I had hoped to, I’m happy with the photos that I got. Here’s a little taste of what I did: a white and blue themed still life, blueberry peach cobbler (yum!), summer berries, and a visit to Solstice Farmstay…enjoy!
