As I wrap up the 2010 wedding season I wanted to give a quick shout out to my good friend, Jessica Quist Benes. Jessica and I have been working together for the past 4 summers now. I am Jessica’s second shooter for her company ‘Jessica Quist Photography‘ in which I highly recommend you checking her work out. Both Jessica and I graduated from Columbia College (few years apart) and found one another in Milwaukee. She has been running her own photo business for some time now, and I had the pleasure of jumping on the band wagon and assisting her for the past couple of years. While shooting with her we have taught one another so much…mainly me learning from her.
Here are a few shots I have taken while working with JQ.

After getting checked into ‘The Maxwell Hotel’ we didn’t waste any time venturing into Queen Anne for some yummy food. Where we found this amazing Mexican restaurant called Pesos. We then proceeded to eat way too much food for our first meal in the city – and continued that trend at every restaurant we visited during our stay.

Before we new it – it was already night time!
So, I heard all these rumors about these ‘cupcake shops’ that are in the city…and it sounded too good to be true (b/c i <3 cupcakes). And it turns out that people were in fact telling the truth. With that being said, we stopped at 
Around sunset we ventured to Golden Gardens. It was the first time that either of us have been there, and we were so pleased that we took the time to explore it. To top off all the amazing views and boat docks, the beach grounds allow people to make fire pits and hang out at night- too neat! I did my best to document this place just by using my iphone because it was slightly misty out (didn’t wanna get my camera wet).
Our last full day in Seattle went rather fast. The morning consisted of us house hunting, coffee drinking, and donut eating. The evening ended with us seeing a burlesque show at the 
Then there was lift off! Till we meet again, Seattle. 
At this point, Stella was completely done with being at the park. I was trying to get one last shot of her in the grass with the trees behind her. And as you can see in the bellow photo’s- her smile has worn off. She was so tired at this point, and just wanted to go back in her stroller, and head home.
