Sonder Wonder Style 'Zine ~ Seattle // Summer 2017



#ExploreSeattle in Sonder Wonder Style 

So, you know how in my previous posts, I said I was working on making a mini self-published magazine? I finally finished. It took a bit of time, but I'm happy with how it turned out!  I'm excited to share this personal project with you!! (Yes, I'm hoping the double exclamation points will really emphasize or convey my enthusiasm to you all, digitally). 

I believe there is more substantial content in this 'Zine than my photography book, and there are actually words, or text, included. I have collaborated with fellow artists, who are close friends of mine, and, also, who I admire and respect tremendously, on special features of the 'Zine. I teamed up with my local blogger friend on a "Seattle Street Style" photo shoot, and I asked my artist best-friend to draw iconic illustrations, exclusive to the 'Zine. I'm really honored and grateful to have them in my mini, self-published magazine. 

Additionally, I have to give thanks to all the cool boutiques that allowed me to photograph their shop, without thinking I was weird or crazy for wanting to take pictures of the store. Thank you guys for being so nice and open to letting me take pictures of your guys' lovely businesses. Their willingness makes it feel more rewarding to have completed this 'Zine and to have chosen to promote them in my book. 

Aside from a few of the city's "typical" tourist hubs, there are other exploration suggestions of parks, viewpoints, and nature spots located through out Washington showcased in the book. 

If you are curious enough, bored, or would like to check out my 'Zine, you can preview the digital format of the 'Zine in the link below:

I hope you guys' enjoy it and, maybe, even give some of the shops or places listed in the 'Zine, a try! :) I'll catch up with you guys again, soon. As always, you can stay updated with what I'm doing through my Instagram or my Facebook page. In the meantime, happy exploring and adventuring in Seattle, beautifuls! <3
