Beach Yoga with Alyssa

It's wonderful to bring together things that you love, and for me that meant a morning photoshoot of yoga on the beach.  Alyssais a yoga instructor in Rhode Island, and we collaborated on a morning shoot featuring an all white outfit with the sea for our backdrop. We played with reflections in the water, shapes with the poses, and I was absolutely captivated by the brilliant and strong morning...

I did, however, make it out the day after Sandy had left to see some of the destruction. The Jamestown Bridge was still closed so I couldn't get over to the islands, but I did make it down to Narragansett. Navigating around closed roads and downed trees I managed to get to...
