Happy iLOVEfacedowns FRIDAY BUTLER STYLE!!!

 

 

 

 

It was a bright and sunny afternoon…. when Ani Butler called me up to say we should do a Butler Style facedown shoot at Rays Boat House!!   A sunny day on the water??  You don’t have to ask me twice, I hopped right on down there!     In this first magical (highlights style) facedown… there are actually TWO facedowners, can you find them in the shadows??    

FACEDOWNS RULE!!!!

To observe the differences of planking and facedowing, here is a boat hoist… (i have no idea what this thing really is) style PLANK!

Seeing as it WAS happy hour, we couldn’t resist doing a full-house waterview Facedown HAPPY HOUR STYLE!!!!  Wootwoot!!  Thanks to Ray’s AWESOME staff for playing our awesome game!!!!  ;0) 

Um, Helllo!!  Ani HAD to take advantage of this dining area that had yet to fill up!!  Planking Dining Room Style!! 

That’s right!!!  We had everyone involved!!!  Planking on a BUSY bar in the MIDDLE OF HAPPY HOUR?!~?!?  TRUE dedication!!  I can only say…. we appreciate your awesomeness!!! 

These poor boys didn’t know what was headed for them!! They thought we were going to just take a nice photo of the Butler Valet Team in their new uniforms… they had another thing coming!!

BUT thankfully – they didn’t protest… or even ask many questions!! hahahaahah  Thank you guys, you are the BEST!!!  (and totally deserve that raise!  hee hee!) 

Planking VALET STYLE!!!!!

Proving this really is a family show, the Butler kids joined us for a family facedown Fish-bike-rack style!!!

Facedown :: Goodbye Buckeroo Style!!

Well… after 72 glorious years/beers at the Buck – The Buckeroo Tavern is closing.  Since I live  right there… I mean RIGHT there…. we HAD to do a Facedown Buckeroo Style!!   While walking by I saw a nice gentleman, we’ll call him Edward (okay, that is really his name, but I bet he goes by Ed!) he LOVED the idea of facedowns (I could totally tell!)  AND since this is THE LAST DAY the Buckeroo will be open he was awesome and Facedowned Buckeroo Style!!!

Enjoy!!

Thanks for playing along Ed!  I hope you had a great day at the Buck!!

Savor Seattle :: FACEDOWN VICTORY STYLE!!!

While out shooting the Savor Seattle Food Tour Guides portraits – it was a bright and sunny day and so we thought, why not facedown??  Really, why not?!   Well – actually, none of them had even heard of facedowns and I said, “Will one of you lie face down with your nose on the ground and your hands by your side?”  Without even thinking twice – this is what happened.

I couldn’t be happier.    This makes me very happy.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH

Um. I LOVE photographing this group.  They are HILARIOUS and not only do I laugh the ENTIRE hour long session but the entire way home too… They are great!  If you haven’t taken their tour, you should.  Visit the site HERE (savor seattle tours)
