Cambridge, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Barre & Soul Harvard Square {w/ Amy Sinclair Yoga and Barre}

What an absolute joy it was to once again work with the lovely Amy Sinclair! I have had the amazing opportunity of photographing her a handful of times over the last year or so and each time I am so excited because she brings with her this beautiful light-hearted energy and such happiness. You'll see that in her big, beautiful smile in the photographs below. We were lucky enough to photograph at the amazing Barre & Soul Harvard Square location with its gorgeous mural, beautiful green plants and huge windows that fill the room with an abundance of light. After photographing Whitney Fitzpatrick here earlier this month, I have been waiting like a kid before Christmas to get back to this space. I could photograph here for days.

Make sure to give Amy Sinclair Yoga and Barre a like on Facebook and check out her website, amysinclairyoga.com. You can find her teaching at Barre & Soul Melrose, Centre Yoga Woburn, and Lexington Power Yoga. And stay tuned for one more Barre & Soul photography session coming to the blog tomorrow! {And, hint, hint, if you're a yoga or barre teacher at Barre & Soul, please do contact me to set up a photo shoot because I seriously could shoot here every day!}

Brookline, MA Yoga Photo Shoot {w/ Chakra Power Yoga Teacher Trainees}

When Nicole Burrill, owner of Chakra Power Yoga in Braintree, MA, told me she was going to run a 200-hour yoga teacher training at her studio, I was instantly jealous. I completed my teacher training in 2011 but had my schedule allowed, I would have signed up to take it again with her. Nicole and I have been friends since we first connected in a yoga class at Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs I don't even remember how long ago. {7 years, maybe? Nicole?} It was before either of us had take teacher training, before either of us even knew we wanted to really. We connected in the way two best friends do though, instantly and as if we had known each other always. I am so incredibly grateful that our paths crossed when they did, that we bonded so quickly and that I am able to call her my friend and my teacher. I am beyond words, teary-eyed excited that she put together this incredible training and that I was able to photograph this group of kick-asana {too cheesy?} instructors for mini sessions last month. And, even more exciting, you ask? Nicole is launching her second studio, Chakra Power Waltham, June 1st! So please go give her studios a like of facebook {Chakra Power Yoga Braintree + Chakra Power Yoga Waltham} and sign up for her newsletter so that you can learn all about her studio happenings. I hope to see you there!

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!

Boston, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Harvard Business School {with Emilka}

It's that time of year! College graduation season! Emilka contacted me to schedule a yoga photo shoot to preserve her memories from her time at Harvard. First off, I have to say a huge congratulations to her on completing her MBA from Harvard Business School! She will be walking in their graduation later this month. What an accomplishment! Emilka is originally from the Czech Republic and wanted to capture her time in Boston at her home here, her campus. This is my first time shooting at Harvard Business School and wow! It was absolutely gorgeous! Who knew this oasis was tucked into Allston, right by the water?! The brick buildings, the budding spring trees, the Harvard crest, and yes, even the Charles River, all provided the most amazing backdrops! It was so New England, so Boston, so Harvard, and so her! {And by the way, I would come back here to shoot in a hot second so if you, reader, are interested, please let me know!} Emilka was so much fun to work with and totally full of smiles and grace. I am so glad I got to know her. Now, take a look at some of my favorites from our session and wish Emilka luck in the next steps in her journey as a Harvard Business School grad!
