My lovely client Sam, who some of you may remember from her and Mark’s wedding earlier this summer, is a fantastic alignment-based yoga instructor who asked me to take some new photos of her doing yoga-y things and I was so excited! This was my first time venturing into the world of yoga photography and it’s quite different from what I normally do. There’s a lot that goes into making sure that Sam’s body is properly aligned as well as taking into account the pose vs. the background, and it was quite fun! Mostly it was fun because Sam is a ton of fun, and if I didn’t routinely get injured doing anything remotely physical, she’s who I would take yoga from. She currently teaches at Carolina Yoga Company, Duke Fitness, and Thousand Petals Yoga. You can find her schedule on her website here: http://yogawithsamlipman.com/ So if you’re looking for a super sweet, kind, happy person to take yoga with – I’d highly recommend Sam, who is all of those things and more. *Huge thanks to Elana for assisting and to the NCMA for giving us permission to use Sam’s photos.

I did a few quick headshots for the NC team members of Skylight Digital, Sean and Colin! They’re both Full Stack Engineers (which means that they do a lot of computer software things that are difficult to understand) for a company that works with government services to solve problems. I was happy to meet and work with them both!
I’m so excited to introduce you all to Denise! Denise is a family physician with a history working in college health and around young people. She’s in the process of starting a private mental health practice in Chapel Hill for teens, college students, and young adults, and I’m lucky enough to have been asked to do her headshots! I’ll be telling you more about her in the months to come as we do a longer shoot together (this was a mini headshot session), but for now I’ll say she’s a stellar client: navigating the depths of Chapel Hill campus parking, literally running with me through the streets as we attempted to dodge rain showers, and keeping me laughing the whole time. Plus she likes cats. I’m excited to work with her again soon, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the amazing Denise!
