25 Minutes with Elise Hunt

It was 2009 that I first met BedSnake‘s director Elise Hunt at the 20/20 Review fundraiser for Vitamin Angels.  Elise was an adorable blonde then and I had the honor of photographing her and fashionista’s from Les Amis in Vaudeville attire along side Washington State Senator Rosemary McAuliffe.

Fast forward a few years later and I was am pleased to have had another chance to photograph this amazing woman, the woman who helped create the exciting theatre piece Bed Snake at Washington Ensemble Theatre.

Elise is gentle and sweet, mysterious and compelling.  Her home is full of art and very peaceful, the perfect place to photograph such a beautiful and engaging artist.
