One of the joys of photographing people is the opportunity to learn about their passions and talents.  We learned quite a bit about, and from, Andrea Trank at her recent photo session.  The session was scheduled to get shots of Heaven’s Lane yoga studio for Andrea’s website.  Andrea’s studio is located on a spacious balcony overlooking her swimming pool and backyard nature preserve.  Working in this outdoor scenic setting was, well. . . heavenly.

But Andrea is so much more than a yoga instructor, and our photo session just naturally turned out to be so much more than Andrea in yoga poses (impressive as they were).  She is also a health and wellness coach with an abundance of information on nutrition and the usefulness of essential oils. . . a designer of fashion jewelry. . . a wife and mother of two handsome sons. . . and a mom to two adorable dogs.

So, our session morphed from yoga poses to Andrea with a selection of jewelry, Andrea with a display of essential oils, and then Andrea with a platter of healthy food choices.  And we couldn’t leave without some shots of the fur-babies!

We left Heaven Lane with plenty of images to edit for Andrea’s website. . . and we learned about nutrition, which essential oils will help when we can’t sleep, which of Signe’s muscles haven’t been used enough lately, and. . .  that we have the flexibility to adapt to on-site photo theme changes.
