A new year means new goals and endeavor for me! In 2019 I will be making and launching a online course on how to photograph and market yourself as a yoga instructor and/or entrepreneur. Blending my three passions of photography, marketing, and teaching yoga. 

I have watched online courses for years and years and finally felt that my time has come to make one. Not knowing exactly where to start I felt it was best to start teaming up with and co-collaborating with good friends and Yoga instructors living in Sedona. 

My first project and filming began with the beautiful Amber Martinez from Vita Pura Yoga https://www.vitapurayoga.com/

As you can imagine we had a lot of fun at her home studio space taking stills, lifestyle portraits, and portraits of her while she was doing her practice.

Working with Monica in Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona was nothing but fun and delightful. She is a charismatic entrepreneur who is also super professional and creative. Those are traits I LOVE and so it’s no wonder when we came together magic happened! When we first met to talk about manifesting the photoshoot she showed me her Pinterest board she had created. It had examples of the photos that were elegant, entrepreneurial, natural, spiritual and magical. She was looking to use deep purples (royal) and lighter blues with a possible accent of golds because they are the colors for her brand. I was super attracted to all of the ones that had a fairy-tale green blurred backdrops and used natural light. ​

Both meals were seriously soooooooooo YUMMY!!!!

I also almost always get their Chai tea with Almond milk which they home -make! 

WHY DO YOU LOVE THESE YOGA PANTS?

I fell in love with Yogi Yoga Wear pants during the Sedona Yoga Festival! Nina Joy Rizzo is the enthusiastic owner and creator of these colorful pants. She connected with me before the festival so that I could keep and eye out for and photograph people in her yogi yoga wear. I can't express how passionate Nina is about her art work that is on the yoga pants. Even better her yoga pants are made from recycled water bottles (ECO-FRIENDLY) and super soft! Nina has created many different kinds of styles, patterns, and colors of yoga pants! Here is a link to get your pair or just take a look: http://yogiyogawear.com/

I was so thrilled when Nina decided to set up a photoshoot with me to get photos for the cover of Canada Fashion Magazine!  We chose to do the first editorial photo-shoot on a sunny day in Phoenix AZ of kundalini yoga teacher Prathna Kaur. I chose interesting yet simple backdrops that didn't scream Arizona keeping in mind that the photos will be in Canada Fashion Magazine.

We wanted to show the pants on different models and in different locations so for the second shoot we chose to photograph Natalie in Tlaquepaque at The Chai Spot!  The Chai Spot was a perfect and unique backdrop to try a different boho look!
