Yoga Tune Up with Jessie
Remember when I mentioned I had a new favorite yoga class? Well, this is Jessie demonstrating the wonderful Yoga Tune Up method for targeted deep tissue massage and therapy. It's not as much yoga as it is self-massage. These therapy balls come in different densities and sizes, and when used to target stress and trigger points, they can do wonders for tension in the body. Jessie teaches at Laughing Elephant Yoga and I can't recommend Yoga Tune Up enough!
This photo shoot went from my usual outdoor setting to an indoor natural light studio. The therapy balls were difficult to photograph since they are not always clearly visible. But with some time and patience, we found some poses that either created beautiful lines or displayed the balls clearly. It was a short session but a lot of fun, and once again, Jessie was amazing to work with! Look relaxing? Try it out!

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
