Eastside Academy photo event.

  Eastside Academy Senior Photo Event

On Saturday, June 1, Red Pants Studio will be taking portraits for 10 seniors from Eastside Academy .

Eastside Academy impacts the lives of at-risk youth in our community by inspiring change through high school education, counseling, recovery, and skills programs in a Christ-centered environment.

Why we’re doing this?

Senior photos give students an opportunity to show off who they are and mark the completion of their journey. Typically students use these pictures on graduation invitations and announcements, social media and many other places.

Our goal is to make this a fun-filled day to remember for the seniors, and provide them with a great set of photos to remember and celebrate their hard work.  The sessions will be even more special, since we’ll shoot the portraits on location at Urban Light Studio, in the Green lake area of North Seattle for this day.

And, closer to the heart, we want to embrace the opportunity to reach out and have an impact on someone.

How can you help?

Thanks for asking. Yes, all of this is completely voluntary.

The photographers have donated their time to shoot. The retoucher has donated much of the following week to help produce the images.

Collette Collins Design / ENCAUSTIHYDE

"ENCAUSTIHYDE" 

"The process of working with Collette Collins Design is like meeting with Louis Vuitton before your big event and taking your pick from his designs—and then suggesting changes tailored just for you. In the world of architecture, the architect designs your home, or dress—if you will—, but Collette Collins designs the “accessories” that make your home more “you.”

Collette Collins is a designer and builder of unique sculptural furniture, cabinetry, and decorative wall coverings; including mirrors, work stations, and housing for appliances.Because she is not attached to just one medium, Collette draws from a broad body of knowledge to design using diverse materials, from exotic hardwoods to beeswax-and-leather encaustics; rubber, fabric, lead to suede and acrylic. This adaptability in her one-of-a-kind designs is also what enables Collette to integrate salvage material into her fashionable, cutting-edge pieces."

For the last two years I have worked with just a few of the product lines that this talented female artist, designer, builder, and creative thinker has produced. It has been a real honor to shoot these product / art pieces, with her and for her.

Quality pictures sell homes.

This beautiful home was put on the market on Monday, and sold that Friday. The buyers commented they used the pictures to make the decision, never needing to go to the house. Although that doesn't always happen, it is more common than we think.
Remember that a home is really sold twice. First time is on-line, second is on paper.

I would like to take all the credit for selling the home, but the truth is that Sue Lunsford of Windermere had a great marketing plan and the know how to make this happen.

lump of coal or a diamond?

One of the most common questions a good sales person asks is: "what will it take to sell this [insert product here]?" The answer: "Present the features and the benefits in a way that's quick and easy for the consumer to understand and apply to themselves."

The same scenario applies to real estate. And, one of the quickest and easiest ways to promote a home's features is through photography. Good photography, that is.

Have you ever seen a jeweler use a lump of coal to sell you a diamond?
