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

i feel like i should pick my favorites, so i’d have to say it’s a tie between her Fudgy Nut Chunks (chewy, dark chocolately goodness) and her signature cookie, Crush Crescents (a family recipe that dates back to the mid-1800s). but.. i also have to mention the Carrot Cake, the most deliciously moist cake i’ve ever had. i’m lying if i didn’t admit that my husband and i devoured the entire box of sweets she sent home with me (fit for a party) in 3 days.

Sugar Crush Sweets is based in Los Angeles, but ships anywhere in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). if you are planning a party, a business meeting, or looking for a unique gift idea, contact Sugar Crush Sweets.. she’s awesome!
