You know how they say, "your vibe attracts your tribe?" Well I certainly believe it!

I love yoga for an infinite number of reasons, but I especially appreciate all of the wonderful people it has allowed me to cross paths with. From teachers and students, to classmates, clients, colleagues, friends, and all of you out there on the great wide interweb - I'm so grateful that I've had the opportunity to connect with so many wild hearts.

Speaking of wild hearts... meet my friend, Kandis Tagliabue.

Kandis is a yoga teacher, web developer / programmer, and an all-around awesome chick. We had a blast during our impromptu shoot near her place in Venice. And even though we didn't get the sunset that I had been hoping for, the clouds made for some pretty dreamy yoga photographs.

Let it be known that I am terrible at blogging my work. In fact, I don't I have ever done a post like this, and I'm not really sure why. Well, hang onto your hats kids, because that's about to change!

I want to be able to share work with you without having to overhaul my portfolio page, because that's annoying (though I really have to do that too).

Here are some photos (there were many more) of my beautiful friend, Kayte Demont. We took them in West Hollywood when I first moved to LA a few months ago.

Kayte's an inspiring creative, and the founder of Mass Musings. Seriously though, you don't even know how much I love collaborating with this lady! We met while living in Boston, and became fast friends when I started contributing articles to her blog a couple of years ago.

I'm going to miss our frequent photo shoots now that she's moved to Denver, CO. Miss you already, girl!
