This shoot was an absolute blast! It was my first experience having an epic clothing fight in a random laundromat. We got quite a few "What the hell?" stares from the innocent bystanders just trying to do their Saturday laundry :) We definitely gave people an entertaining show while they waited for their laundry to dry. I had to come back to the laundromat after the shoot because I had forgotten one of my shirts in a dryer, and the owner of the shop said after we left everyone was amazed that those beautiful people wanted their photos taken in a laundromat. I had to laugh. :) 

We worked with a great little crew for this shoot. It was our first time to work with stylist-extraordinaire, Osiris, so her, Chris and I came up with the concept for the shoot and she worked her styling and wardrobe magic. The models were absolutely fantastic as well. When I was going to Target the morning of the shoot to pick up a bright colored laundry basket, I happened to look up at one of the Ads on the wall and low and behold I see beautiful little Rhylie looking down at me. After we hit the laundry mats we decided to go get some ice cream at my favorite Ice Cream place in Seattle, Molly Moon's, more of those to come in a later post. May these put a little smile on your face this Monday!

If I was a judge, and you were a contestant, I'd give this shoot a "10!" Any photo editor would be at a loss to cut any of these images... they are all super!

Absolutely love it. I've been obsessed with coin laundry theme since Lisa Mitchell's song Coin Laundry. You should check her video out on youtube.

How fun! The energy is over the top in these! Quick question: Do you get the owner to sign a property release? I always ask verbal permission to use space, but wondering if I need something more. Thanks in advance!
