One of the most amazing things about my job is that I get to create partnerships with some pretty amazing people. When Jen Merola Palmer, owner of Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, first contacted me, she had just opened her studio and was looking for a photographer for her Grand Opening Celebration. She, like me, started pursuing her passion while still working at her corporate job. First hand, I can tell you that it takes more hustle than most people can ever imagine to work two jobs full time. But that's often what it takes. I have been continually impressed by the amazing hustle and determination from this amazing woman. And, I am so happy to say that since that first Grand Opening, I have photographed her team countless times for celebrations, benefits, group shots, teacher training groups and mini sessions. Here are a few previews from our latest shoot with her teaching team. Check out her website to see more: www.universalpoweryoga.com and make sure to catch a class with her or her amazing team of yoga teachers sometime soon!

And, speaking of benefits at UPY, we have one coming up! Join Jen, Jacqui Bonwell and moi for a Yoga Reaches Out 2016 Yogathon Benefit on Friday, April 22nd. I will be offering Pick a Pose from 6:00pm to 6:45pm and Jen and Jacqui will be co-teaching a yoga to live music class at 7:00pm. You can sign up on the workshops tab on the UPY Mind Body site. Look for "Rally the Troops!"

There is a suggested $10 donation for each pose and $25 donation to participate in class. 100% will go to Yoga Reaches Out. High res digital image files will be sent to you directly.

If you want to be more involved, you can also join my team for May 1st! And, read more ways to get involved with YRO on my blog post, Why it's Important to Give Back as a Business.

Contact me today if you're interested in scheduling a yoga photo shoot for yourself, your yoga studio or your teacher training group.
