Shavasana // Corpse pose - my favourite.
Having practiced yoga off and on for the past 4 years, I love walking into a yoga studio and placing my mat down on the hardwood floor to start working on my breathing. I am a shallow breather to begin with, so when I have to take long deep breaths for yoga, breathing is an extra challenge for me. But I enjoy it, I feel my body getting the oxygen it needs, I feel it feeding life into me.
90 minutes of stretching and sweating and I can feel my body getting stronger and healthier. I've been practicing again for about a month now, and I can already do push-ups which I originally couldn't do, stretch further, touch the floor with my hands, and thankfully breath easier! Yoga is my 'me' time. I do this for myself to help me concentrate, to release any tension, to work my body, and to meditate. It's a blissful 90 minutes.
If you're looking for a yoga studio, come meet me at Yoga for the People. It's a beautiful studio located close to Gastown, but its a by donation studio. I love it!
What is your favourite workout or yoga pose?

I wanted to photograph a stylized shoot and knew what I wanted it to look like but didn't know anyone who would fit the look I was going for. Thankfully my friend Erin did and we found our three models, who were just perfect! The girls were awesome, no FABULOUS to work with and I'm loving these. Seriously like they warm my insides! The concept was three girls out on a sunny day enjoying life and just hanging out in a forest. They decide to rest and take a nap and then dream playing dress up playing in the sun and being princesses. Ohhhh, it gets me excited just writing it out.
We did everything out in Derby Reach again, I'm in love with this location! Enjoy the images!

Her and I share a luve of reading, so I mentioned that she should bring her favourite book to the shoot as well, and oh gosh I luuuve the images of her reading...just simply stunning!
Boudoir shoots are about you, what makes you smile, feel sexy, and comfortable and I encourage everyone to incorporate that into their time with me.
Once again, enjoy the images of Mrs e enjoying her cupcake and reading Anne of Green Gables!
Thank you again Mrs E for allowing me to use your photos!

You are onto something amazing here! Just awesome, and I cannot wait to see more!
