Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
-Marianne Williamson

Meet Jill:

a kind-spirited, deeply inspiring, and soulful yoga teacher and fashion designer who founded Awear Yoga. i recently had the honor of photographing her unique yoga clothing line: locally-made, organic, inspiring designs.. many of which are handmade and all of which are truly beautiful pieces to wear on and off the mat. a portion of her profits are also donated to various charitable organizations.. jill is doing all sorts of good!

i just happened to meet Jill within days of moving to Grand Rapids at the first yoga class i attended here, nearly a year ago. our friendship has been blossoming ever since and i am beyond grateful that our paths have crossed..

A huge thank you to the lovely models who spent their day with us in and around Grand Rapids! This yoga community is a pretty special one – I’m so proud to be a part of it

maybe my wishes get carried away..

“Maybe my wishes get carried away,
merely well planned exaggerations.
But foolish or not, it’s merely my way,
my very own unwritten legislation.

All I can be is me, there are no more options.
You better learn to take me as we go.
Until then, I’ll keep writing songs on coffee shop napkins,
waiting for you to see me through the window.”

- Mike Bass, East Lansing based Singer/Songwriter
(excerpt from an unreleased song called Unwritten Legislation)

p.s. Mike is a dear friend and a very talented musician who taught English and performed music for many years in Japan.. you should really check out his website and join his Facebook group!

I shot these images for Luke Emeott of Allied Fabrication Systems back in September.. it’s pretty great to have such talented, inspiring friends.

These posters are each screen printed by Luke using materials and paper from Michigan and can be purchased on their Etsy Shop. If you are in the Detroit area and want to purchase an original screen printed poster, they are (as far as I know) still available at Bureau of Urban Living.
