Ah, Seattle … how I miss you already. The music stores, coffee shops, the baristas who tell me they don’t serve drip coffee — only americanos, the cocktails, the thai food and sushi, the cupcakes, the market, everything local and organic, the neighborhoods — especially Ballard and Capitol Hill, the people and their senses of style, the views — mountains and water all-around, and well … I could go on. Those who know me understand that my absolute favorite thing to do in a new city is walk around all day long, eat amazing food, and photograph that amazing food. Good conversation with friends who are willing to do the same makes the time spent in a new place even better.
Here are a few frames from my time walking around Seattle with good friends Laura and Eric (both college friends from Madison). We walked, ate, drank and talked. Perfect.


Looks like a fun trip! That food looks amazing!
why do you rock at every SINGLE shoot that you do? food, travel, weddings, portraits, all of it. Oh I know, because YOU ROCK!
god. im so hungry for cupcakes, sushi, and calamari right now and its only 8 here in SF.
btw. you’re so cute. the last frames of you and friends are just so awesome.
It’s clear you’re a photographer above all other expressions, because I’d love to know some of the places these shots were taken. I recognize the Ballard docks, the Seattle Central Public Library, and Theo Chocolate. But of course, I’m interested in the food. Where’d ya go?
haha — hi, kyle. the photos were taken at homegrown (in fremont), ray’s (on the sound), moshi moshi and thaiku (ballard), cupcake royale (capitol hill), macrina (at a friend’s house), portage bay cafe (downtown), the market, julia’s (some neighborhood that starts with a “w” — i forgot), trophy cupcakes (same neighborhood). hope that helps :)
ps — i forgot to mention Chapel, in Capitol Hill. Great cocktails.
Lovely, gorgeous photos, Anda!! Makes me both hungry and want to live in the Northwest again. :)
haha I love all the food shots – I do that too and drive everyone I’m with insane :)
It was so wonderful to see you – I hope Troy gets excited about your beautiful photos and you two take another trip out here. I”ll come get you at the airport next time! :-)

So great to relive this! I especially like the way you captured the market. And gotta love the final frames! :-) Hurry back!
That’s a nice looking hen.

I like the bookstore photo. I can spend hours in a good bookstore.
