Can you find the yogi in this photo?  We lovingly call Laurie the Yoga Action Figure because she’s so small and bendy.  When she comes to my classes, the other students are usually in awe of her poses.  I guess that happens after you’ve been teaching for as long as she has :)

Laurie is also a social worker, and she’s starting to do some yoga programs with urban youth.  Since it ties into her work (and I love shooting in rundown buildings), I thought it would be very fitting to have her doing the postures in an urban setting.  She was brave for doing crow pose on that metal scaffolding, and side plank in the blue doorway – it was very small!  Good thing yoga gives you excellent balance.

Anyone else looking for yoga photos in the next few weeks should contact me – I’m doing a special for yoga teachers and studios until I leave town!

Caitie and I went to high school together, but I hadn’t seen her since we graduated.  She found me on Facebook, discovered that I photographed weddings, and hired me to fly out for her wedding in Colorado this past weekend.  And I’m glad she did!  It was a beautiful wedding at The Sanctuary. The lighting was a bit of a challenge photographically (a seriously backlit ceremony, and reception with high vaulted ceilings and walls of windows), but I like how the images turned out.  Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE.

Lisa served as my second shooter, and did a wonderful job.  This wedding reminded me what it’s like to shoot in Colorado, and I’m excited to get back and shoot mountain weddings once again.   I will miss some of the great St. Louis venues and cool run-down buildings, though.

Congrats to Caitie and Brian!
