Norwood, MA Yoga Photo Shoot {Team Universal Power Yoga}

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.

Walpole, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Bird Park {Universal Power Yoga Teacher Training Mini Sessions! Round 2!}

I am so excited that I was able to work with the teacher training group at Universal Power Yoga again for mini sessions. We held the mini sessions at the beautiful Bird Park, in Walpole, MA and mainly utilized the gorgeous stone steps as our backdrop for the majority of the images. You may remember we photographed the first group of UPY teacher trainees at this same location last fall but with quite a difference look given the New England foliage at the time. It always amazes me how unique each set of images truly is, even when at the same location.

Without further ado, here are some previews of these rockstar yogis!

Walpole, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Bird Park {Universal Power Yoga Teacher Trainee Mini Sessions}

I had a blast photographing the first group of yoga teacher trainees from Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, MA. I have absolutely loved partnering with Jen Merola Palmer, owner of UPY, for the last two years, photographing her grand opening celebration, one and two year anniversary events as well as her teachers and now her teacher trainees! She has created such a fun, warm, supportive community and I love being a part of it!

A huge congratulations to all of UPY's inaugural teacher trainees! I am so happy I've been able to get to know many of you and work with you all. I can't wait to see where this path takes you next!

Enjoy some previews!

Norwood, MA Yoga Photography {Universal Power Yoga 2 Year Anniversary}

Congratulations to Jen Merola Palmer, owner of Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, for celebrating the studio's two year anniversary! I am absolutely amazed at the hard work and dedication that Jen and her teachers have put in to build such an amazing community. I love being a part of their events, teacher training, and of course photographing their amazing instructors. It's such a great feeling to walk into a studio and recognize so many faces. And seeing as there were over 50 yogis at each of the two morning classes I photographed last weekend, that's a whole lot of faces and a whole lot of love!

Jen and Team - Thank you for all that you do!!
