Merging Portraits with a Beautiful Scene

Sometimes the scenery in a portrait can evoke a mood that creates a powerful photograph beyond the gorgeous smiles.

During an OG YOGA and Wellness yoga class this September, I was captivated by the overcast sky and cloud formations. Here the moody skies provide a tranquil backdrop for Tracy Bechtel's Dharma yoga class. The end result = zen.

Just down the beach from the OG Yoga and Wellness class I found a seagull posing... "Fish pose"?

The sunset over the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever experienced. My children were more than happy to dance around on the beach for me so I could catch their spirit and the majestic colors from those final minutes of light.

Big sky — a little fun during our final hours in Lido Beach, FL.
