Urban SLC and the Green Cushion Caper

Saturday, I met up with some of the Utah Peas for an urban shoot in downtown Salt Lake. Jami brought her daughter, and Randa brought her whole family. We went to a marvelous, fun spot that is fabulously grungy. It was a bit cold, which didn't make our young subjects too happy, but I still managed to get a few good shots.

Towards the end we headed to another spot behind Derek's office. I had a few props in the back of the Suburban that I wanted to use, and I was parked over there. When I pulled out my beautiful ugly green chair, I was alarmed to see its cushion was missing. I couldn't figure out how that could be. I had used the chair on Thursday when I met with Janae to do some shots in Magna. I decided maybe the cushion had fallen out somehow when Janae's brother-in-law carried the chair to my Suburban after the shoot. I e-mailed Janae about it, and today she went back to the spot in Magna. Lo and behold, she FOUND IT!! I am so excited! I thought it was gone for good. Thanks, Janae!! WHEW!!!

Anyway, here are some of my shots from Saturday.








Here's our self-portrait in the parking garage mirror. :)

These are wonderful! I love that 2nd to last shot, the "behind the scenes"! SO fun. And I am SO relieved you found your cushion, that could have been a disaster!

Jen said...

Love that place! Its one of my favorites! Although- that place by the yellow stairs (where the child on the suitcases is sitting) I totally got kicked out of there on Friday from some mean security guard. Super mean! So beware if you are in that area! :)

I love that 4th shot! She is so cute. I am glad I found your cushion too. A chair that cool should NOT BE WITHOUT its cushion.
