Colleen: Lifestyle Portraits Part I

colleen and i have worked together for 5 years now...she's a wonderful teacher and a very hard working woman...she's very much in tuned with her health and fitness...for her, it's not just a hobby or a fun thing to do...it's her way of life...it's carried out in her eating habits, workout regime, and yoga...she decided to do a lifestyle photo session to capture her in different yoga poses...

i had an incredible time shooting colleen! there were too many beautiful shots to share that i couldn't pick only a few...so i decided to divvy them up into different parts, based on location...also, i couldn't just put the pictures out there without giving the yoga poses their proper names...so i had to do a lot of researching before i could post this =) although, i couldn't find the name of the last yoga pose...if you happen to know what it is, let me know ;-)

here's colleen in her lifestyle portraits part I...enjoy!


1) tree pose (i had to post this one again, it's just so beautiful!)



2) triangle pose


3) pigeon pose


4) hover pose


5) cobra pose


6) pigeon crescent (i love this one!)


7) and ? (please share if you know the name of this pose =)

isn't colleen amazing at this? the strength of her body...and the elegance and tranquility of yoga...very inspiring...
