The script got flipped on me. We had just wrapped up an indoor shoot for Radiant Roots Yoga and with a twinkle in my eye, a la Jack Nicholson (think The Shining), I asked Jen . . . “How do you feel about levitating in the middle of a downtown street while I shoot you doing yoga poses? I’ll watch your back, you watch mine and hopefully we’ll be able to dodge oncoming traffic in either direction.” Luckily, Jen had a twinkle right back. Off we went, beating hearts and twinkling eyes, to create something different for both of us. The end product was one of my proudest moments as a photographer. I almost didn’t notice that people had stopped around us and started photographing me photographing Jennifer.
But let’s back up a bit . . . while in the lobby of a swanky downtown building with swanky marble and swanky art, we captured Jen doing what she does . . . . helping bring a mindful meditative presence in others. I started out this shoot nervous as ever and about 15 minutes in, her soothing nature got to me as well. And I learned something about myself . . . if I took just a few minutes to breath and find a center on which to balance, I will rock the shoot, guaranteed. It, of course, helps to have lovelies as muses as well. The children are Jen’s children, Jillian and Evan and the light they emanated was so bright, I almost had to get my shades. Can you dig Evan’s Namaste pose? Oh yeah . . . . . Jen is good INCREDIBLE!
