graceful, strong, and talented my girl Ji has been pursing her passion for aerial silks and taking it to the next level. Check out this rig in her backyard, I spent an hour with Ji in awe of her skills, and took some photos for her website, she was recently asked to perform at the Arise Music Festival, where she took her skyward journey and was soaring above large crowds during the Emancipator set. 

its always a party in the photo booth

I have gotten to attend quite a few weddings this summer and I have detected a theme. Weather the wedding is on a golf course, at ski resort or in a backyard or secluded out on a ranch I have had the chance to jump into a Photo Booth, and I have loved every single one! Its a don't miss at every wedding. 
Grab your date, lasso your buddies and pull in the bride and groom at some point during the day, it typically gets goofy in there. And the best part is instant proof of what went down in the booth.

The Steamboat Movement Festival was an amazing weekend. I volunteered to photograph for the cause, because I love to support friends, especially friends with passions and that are looking to achieve or chase dreams. This was the first year of the festival, and I was able to contribute to the festival via my passion, photography, and it was a very fulfilling and inspired weekend.

I met incredible instructors at the welcome dinner at Harwigs, LaPogee on Thursday evening. The energy of the night was electric, you could tell those who had been in the beginning planning stages of the festival were finally seeing their visions and getting to share that with the community that they had gathered was very special. This event was about gathering a community, of open hearted, spiritual friends and new friends that were looking to connect greater to their yoga practice, mental and physical practice a while interacting in gorgeous surroundings.
