Branding Photos with Dev The Yogi

This last fall, I had the honor of taking branding photos with Dev The Yogi, a Tacoma-based yoga instructor. Although she calls Tacoma home, Dev has traveled far and wide across the globe as both a yoga student and a teacher. Her love for the practice is apparent in the way she carries herself and the way she interacts with the world. For this session, Dev wanted updated headshots for her website, social media content to promote her classes and workshops, and we even ended up capturing an image that felt so true-to-brand that she used it to give her backbend book a facelift and fresh cover.

We chose Lighthouse Park in Mukilteo as our location for this session. This spot offers a peaceful ocean view, as well as options to play with direct light or shade. The soft grassy lawn by the lighthouse is a great spot to do yoga. Dev loves that golden look, so we chose to shoot at golden hour — that magical hour before the sun sets when it kisses the world with soft, flattering, golden light.

After we played around in the grass, we moved on to the beach :) My favorite sessions are when we leave with sandy feet and cheeks sore from smiling — this was one of them!

Dev has this contagious laugh that lights up a room and I think her curious, warm, fun-loving spirit really came through in her branding photos.
