Red Florals for Summer in Seward Park

Hello! I meant to share the photos from this shoot awhile ago but life happened and I'm just now able to sit down and do a little write up for it. My friend and fellow pole/lyra instructor at the studio, Annalisa, took these beautiful photos for me at Seward Park and I love how these turned out! We walked around the loop and anywhere that looked photo worthy we did some snaps! If you're from Seattle, then you're probably familiar with the park which overlooks the East Side and Lake Washington and how comfortable it is during the summer. 

Open-Shoulder Dress - Forever 21
Sandals - Lulus (similar HERE and HERE)
Purse - Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy

I love being able to let a photographer just practice and experiment with their shot. The weather was perfect that day and it was just about sunset so we were able to get some nice images with different lighting and also with different nature settings. This dress was an instant favorite once I saw it online. I wasn't sure how it'd fit as I have a pole dancer's body which means - extra broad shoulders - and I have to be careful with open shoulder tops but this dress actually complimented me better than I thought, haha! It was also the perfect pop of color against a mainly green backdrop. I definitely felt like an island princess =). Trade in the evergreens for palm trees and we'd be good to go! Since the dress is so busy, I kept the accessories neutral with browns and gold. 

Annalisa is also one of my designated "Instagram Husbands" haha. If you're not sure what I 'm referring to, then you gotta check out this video HERE. Thanks for being willing to take my photos!
