Dedham, MA Branding and Yoga Photo Shoot at The Fairbanks House {w/ Lauren DAngelo}

I am excited to share previews from my branding and yoga photo shoot with the beautiful Lauren DAngelo at The Fairbanks House in Dedham. It was such a joy to photograph Lauren. She has the most infectious smile. I swear we were laughing for the entire half hour. What a treat.

You can pre-order Women Who Boss Up, a book Lauren was recently a part of, on her website. Hard copies will be coming in November, in time for the holidays.

And, super exciting news, she is back in school for her Masters of Social Work, seeking to connect yoga and wellness with the important work done in social work.

Lauren is currently teaching live and online yoga classes at Universal Power Yoga in Norwood and Wrentham. Check out her Sunday night slow flow nidra class for a real treat.

Boston, MA Yoga Photo Shoot {W/ Lauren D'Angelo}

I could not be more thrilled that the beautiful Lauren D'Angelo was my muse for my first yoga photo shoot of 2017! Lauren's energy was absolutely palpable during our photo shoot; it was a blessing to photograph both her positivity and kindness that radiates in her smile, and her strength that comes through in her challenging poses.

This lady has a ton of amazing events and classes coming up that I'd love to shout out. You'll definitely want to check them out starting with her Family Yoga Workshop this Saturday, 3/4 at Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, MA. She has also created an amazing vin/yin style workshop called Evenflow which she'll be teaching at She Breathes Wellness and Balance in Walpole, MA on 3/10 and 4/7 and back at UPY on 4/21. You can sign up for these workshops and see her regular class schedules at UPY and Stil Studio in Dedham, MA through each of the studio's websites. Lauren is also teaching an outdoor yoga class to benefit Smith Farm on 5/6 at the beautiful Borderland State Park in Sharon, MA. How cool is that?

You can follow Lauren to hear about more great events and classes via her facebook page and instagram feed.

Lauren chose this charming brick Breather space in Boston for her photo shoot which photographed absolutely perfectly for this session. We had a gorgeous sunny day so the light coming in through the windows was abundant and we definitely capitalized on that to capture lightness in both the more accessible and the more challenging poses. We then headed down to the waterfront to incorporate some of the iconic Boston harbor into our photo shoot. I can't wait to share a few previews today!

As we come into the last month of 2016, I wanted to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to all of this year's yoga studio partners.

I love working with your teachers, being introduced to your communities, and {gush, gush} becoming closer friends over pizza post sessions.

To all of the owners, the studio managers, the behind-the-scenes-geniuses who create these amazing communities, I thank you, from my heart, for the amazing partnerships we have together. Here's to wishing you a wonderful end of year and continued success in 2017! To you, I bow.
