Cheap Eats {seattle magazine}

andrea — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 01:00:25 +0000

Excited to have landed my second cover for Seattle Magazine! This issue was focused on ‘Cheap Eats‘ plus healthy choices in the Seattle area. I really enjoyed shooting for this article because I feel that everyone can relate to the feeling of just wanting a solid meal, but at a reasonable price. Seattle is full of amazing restaurants- but a pretty price tag is usually attached. Shooting the January issue provided me with a new list of restaurants to return to and enjoy meals from $3 up to $15. And let me tell you, I had the chance to sample some of these fine dishes, and they are delicious.

I would highly recommend you check them out, as well as the January Issue!

El Camion

Big Chickie

Green Leaf

Loretta’s Northwestern

Oma Bap

Pike Street Fish Fry

I want to take a few minuets to really share how important this blog posting is to me. And also thank my best friend for reminding me of my journey, dreams, and wishes for my career. When planning to relocate to Seattle I spend some time researching magazine in my soon to be new city. I would visit Seattlemagazine.com quite often and wish that I could get an in with them. And now I am sitting here writing a blog for the cover story that I was assigned to document the October issue. I have had several images published in the past, in random magazines, but I am beyond honored to share my first cover image for a fantastic magazine. Thank you Seattle Magazine for this wonderful experience and hiring me to photograph the ‘Wine Country Getaway‘ story.

I split my week up into two halves and drove all over Eastern Washington photographing. My dream job scenario.

DAY 3

Snipes Mountain Brewing – Sunnyside, WA

Two Mountain Winery – Zillah, WA

Treveri Cellars – Wapato, WA

Owen Roe Winery – Wapato, WA

Miners Drive in – Yakima, WA

After a full weekend of shooting I returned home for the week and prepared for the next two dozen locations I had to shoot for the story. Early Friday morning I made way to Walla Walla, WA. I first stopped in Hood River to shoot a few Brewing companies.

DAY 4

Full Sail Brewing- Hood River, OR

pFriem Family Brewers – Hood River, OR

Aniche Cellars – Underwood, WA

The next stop on my list was Maryhill Winery. But mother nature had another plan for me…as I was unable to get there due to Forest Fires.

Columbia Crest Winery- Paterson, WA

After my long drive to Walla Walla, I was beyond ready to settle down for the night. I rented an Airstream for two nights at ‘Chilleville’ in Walla Walla. Once I arrived, I was speechless to find my home for the weekend. It was my first time sleeping in an airstream, and I hope its not my last.

DAY 5

Walla Walla Roastery – Walla Walla, WA

Inn at Abeja – Walla Wala, WA

Charles Smith Wines – Walla Walla, WA

Dunham Cellars – Walla Walla, WA

T. MaccaRone’s

Burnwood Brewing – Walla Walla, WA

Brasserie Brewing – Walla Walla, WA

Saffron – Walla Walla, WA

Jimgemanbar – Walla Walla, WA

I ended my day with a gathering at the Chillville party pad. Zibby, the host for Chillville, had invited those whom were staying in the airstreams to join her and a few of her friends for dinner and drinks. It was the perfect way to end a long productive day. I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Wine Country!

DAY 6

Bacon & Eggs – Walla Walla, WA

Colville Street Patisserie – Walla Walla, WA

The Green Lantern – Walla Walla, WA

Marcus Whitman Hotel – Walla Walla, WA

Amavi Cellars – Walla Walla, WA

My shoot at Amavi was one of my favorites of the weekend. I had a great group of people to photograph as well as a picteresque background. We had arranged the shoot during a super moon! And seeing that moon pop up over the rolling hills and mountains in Walla Walla was a sight to remember. Simply amazing!

DAY 7 { Last day…long drive home }

Cadaretta Glass House – Walla Walla, WA

Hedges Family Estate – Benton City, WA

Before I knew it, my journey and assignment had come to an end. After two weekends of running around Eastern Washington, tasting fabulous wines and soaking in stunning views I was returning home. This experience reminded me what I love about traveling and photographing. I look forward to more opportunities like these in my career. Till then, I have my first cover shoot and a lovely Blog to document my adventure!

Seattle Magazine {March issue}

As a freelance photographer I never know what photo opportunities I will have week to week. But some of my favorite email’s are from Seattle Magazine.

This month I had the opportunity to represent West Seattle, as well as photograph some lovely new places around the city. For starters, I went to Loulay. The chef here was such a pleasure as well as his wife, whom stepped in a few images. Their restaurant is just as beautiful as their dishes. Here is Loulay!

I am so blessed for the opportunities I have had thus far with Seattle Magazine- and even more so for this particular feature. Being a contributing photographer for a large story made me feel so honored. It was a nice challenge to keep my eye fresh, and do these wonderful restaurants justice.

Hope you enjoy some images from my shoots for this assignment as well as check out these places- they were all so wonderful to me, and have some delicious foods as well as killer atmospheres!

Joule

So, on Oct.19th my husband and I came to Joule to eat dinner for our 6yr anniversary. I usually just shoot at these lovely places, and rarely dine at them at a later date. And that all changed with this restaurant. And let me tell you- The food was fantastic, the server was fun and they took great care of us. They were so kind that they even treated us to a free drink in celebrating our anniversary. So, on that note, I would highly recommend checking this restaurant out!
