Dedham, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at MIT Endicott House {w/ Ciara Clark}

Looking at the forecast for my yoga photo shoot with Ciara Clark earlier this week left me with my jaw dropped! I just couldn't believe that we could be so lucky as to be shooting in late October in the near 80's! To have all of this warmth with the perfect mix of beautiful fall foliage was almost too good to be true.

Ciara and I shot at the beautiful MIT Endicott House in Dedham, MA, capturing tons of outdoor beauty in all of its unique spaces. We shot a variety of poses from super challenging arm balances {shout out to ashtavakrasana - eight angle pose - that balance is something fierce!} to warriors and standing balances to simple seated meditative poses. Ciara rocked them all with beauty and grace and I now can't wait to share some previews with you.

Ciara currently teaches at Acorn Yoga in Brighton and Gold's Gym in South Boston. She also teaches special events and classes at MoveWith.com and at the Hands to Heart Center, a local non-profit organization that provides free yoga classes for people living with poverty and trauma in Boston.

Haverhill, MA Yoga Photo Shoot - Teacher Mini Sessions {w/ The Yoga Tree}

Back in May, I had the pleasure of photographing The Yoga Tree in Haverhill, MA for the very first time. We booked a full day session, photographing everything from the studio itself to a Vinyasa class and a Restorative class to teacher mini sessions, and we even captured some photography of the lovely owner, Caroline Pineau, with her husband and two dogs. If you missed it, you can check it out here: The Yoga Tree on the blog!

Well, at the end of the session {before seeing even one photograph!} Caroline asked me if we could go ahead and book a follow-up of minis in the fall. It felt like forever away at the time and now I'm not sure where the summer went, but we held our sessions earlier this month at Winnekenni Park in Haverhill on the most gorgeous fall day, and I have to say they were just as much fun as our first shoot together. A huge thanks to Caroline, Checka, Shauna, Sami, Sarah, Julia, Shannon, and of course, Shannon's adorable little Elsa!

Make sure to give The Yoga Tree a like on Facebook to see more photographs from the day along with information on their classes, workshops, and events. This is definitely a community you'll love being a part of! Thanks for having me, Yoga Tree tribe!

Westwood, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at the Center at Westwoods {w/ Tracy Affonso}

These last two weeks have been filled with beautiful yogis, amazing new locations, and all things fall. And let me tell you, this makes for one amazingly happy yoga photographer. Yes, it's true that October in my field is usually a crazy happy mix of loveliness and mayhem as all photographers in New England look to get in as many shoots in this gorgeous time of year as possible all the while finalizing the season's weddings. So, if you happen to see me running to the Whole Foods Coffee Bar in my sweats, a bit disheveled, just know in return your facebook feeds will soon be filled with all things lovely, and all clients, as always, will be getting on time photo deliveries. That said, I truly hate how our generation still glorifies being busy so let's also remember that photographers pretty much hibernate from November to April. {ha!} It balances out in a way that's just right. But, enough about me.

I had the pleasure of photographing the gorgeous Tracy Affonso last week and I could not be more excited to share some previews with you. After hosting a workshop for breast cancer survivors at The Center at Westwoods, Tracy suggested hosting our yoga photo shoot at this truly remarkable location. It's not only a meditation center and yoga studio, but also has some incrediblly beautiful grounds with a koi pond, statue garden, labyrinth, and breath taking foliage. Add in a beautiful - inside and out - yoga teacher like Tracy at golden hour, and I'd call that the perfect yoga photo shoot.

I was first introduce to Tracy at her class at Stil Studio in Dedham, MA and am happy to share that she also teaches at Chakra Power Yoga, Waltham Yoga, Artemis Yoga, STARR Life Studios, and Life Time Fitness' Life Power Yoga. She is also the Regional Director for the Massachusetts branch of bodhi & mind yoga, which offers physical, mental, and emotional support to women in every stage of breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.  Now this is one incredible yogi!

You can follow Tracy on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about her and find her latest teaching schedule! And now, enjoy some previews from our yoga photo shoot!
