Boston, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at the Arnold Arboretum {w/ Anna Platnikova}

If I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, I absolutely love shooting at The Arnold Arboretum. I just love that no matter when you go, there is something new and something lovely and something unique to fit with my lovely and unique clients. And this yoga photo shoot with Anna Platnikova was no exception. The only exception here was that Anna was referred to me by none other than my adoring husband! And I have to say, while he's enjoyed a handful of yoga classes {thank you, Chanel Luck and Nina Petruzzo} and used to attend my classes when I was first teaching, this is the first time a yoga teacher has reached out to me as a referral so kudos to him! {And you should have seen the smile on his face when I told him!}

Photographing with Anna was an absolute dream. She is completely stunning, incredibly kind, and has the best smile. And, as all of my clients know, if you laugh at my dorky jokes, you're golden in my book. Towards the end of our session, Anna put on the most radiant blush dress and white floral crown and I swear my jaw dropped. Shooting yoga poses in unique outfits to fit your brand {ahem, shout out to my marketing major} is something I absolutely love. It helps distinguish yourself and shows your character and I am all for it. Needless to say, I could not be more excited to share a few previews from our yoga photo shoot.

You can find Anna teaching Health Yoga Life in Boston and can learn more about her by following her on Instagram. Enjoy!

Cambridge, MA Yoga and Barre Photo Shoot at Barre & Soul Harvard {w/ Whitney Fitzpatrick}

You may remember my 2015 New Year's post card and this gorgeous yogi, Whitney Fitzpatrick! {And yes, noted, I dropped the ball on creating one this year. I'm only human. Next year ... I hope} Needless to say, I was thrilled when Whitney reached out this year to create a follow-up photo shoot because I absolutely adore her and love working together. This time, Whitney introduced me to barre as well as yoga and while I usually make a strong case of not being a "fitness photographer" but rather a "yoga photographer" this photo session made me want to add barre to the mix. I have yet to go to a class {it's on my list .. I no longer fear it} and I absolutely loved the introduction that Whitney gave me. There was so much grace both in her movement and in her stillnessAnd, yes, of course, a lot of that comes from Whitney herself but I am thrilled to be shooting a few more barre sessions in the near future. Whitney's smile, also thrills me every time and you'll see that shine through in the images below. We were lucky to photograph at Barre & Soul Harvard because it's absolutely delightful. It's a photographer's dream with gorgeous wood floors, large windows with ample window light bouncing around the white walls and a unique and thoughtfully curated style. The mural wall had me drooling and all of the plants and terrariums hanging from the ceilings were absolutely breathtaking. Oh, and there's a teal piano to boot! If I lived in the area, I'd probably be at this studio every day if only to meditate in the beauty ... and of course to take yoga and barre classes with their amazing instructors. Now, enough of me ooo-ing and aww-ing, take a look at some of my favorite photographs from our yoga and barre photo shoot earlier this month. 

Whitney currently teaches at Barre and Soul Melrose and Harvard Square locations as well as Lexington Power Yoga (Barre & Soul) and she subs at YogaWorks Comm Ave and Back Bay {formally Back Bay Yoga and Sweet & Soul Yoga}.

Whitney's hair was done by the uber talented Amanda Andella who also teaches at Barre and Soul. I may have drooled a little over this braid crown she whipped up in just a few minutes. Brides, message me for her details! Imagine what she can do with even more time and prep!

Milton, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Milton Academy {Hannah Pulit Yoga}

I was thrilled when Hannah contacted me to schedule a yoga photo shoot at Milton Academy because the campus is absolutely beautiful. And, to make it even more perfect, it's a deeply meaningful place to her and her family. Hannah not only went to school at Milton Academy, but now teaches there. And, her parents got married there too! It was wonderful to have her take me around to the different areas - the beautiful green {and perfectly manicured} lawns, the chapel, the beautiful heart sculptures and brick patio. We had fun as students passed by on campus all in awe of their English teacher's yoga moves! It was a blast. And, now that Hannah has completed her 200 hour teacher training through Down Under Yoga, she will be teaching Yoga at Milton Academy as well! Such lucky students! Take a look at our yoga photo shoot!
