One of the toughest, but most rewarding weeks of my career. 3 deserving families wanting to be in their first home for the holidays. 3 situations that seemed brim and hopeless. All ended with 3 celebrations! It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it!!! #gowithO #realtor #realestate #closings #nctriangle #homefortheholidays #firsttimehomebuyer https://www.instagram.com/p/BrtzespA-1D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t9li6ro3je14

This is basically my sweetie and me! Then Duke comes in and ruins everything. #marchmadness #ncstategirl #uncboy #dukesucks #nctriangle #researchtriangle #barclays #ncaabasketball (at Barclays Center)

Finishing up my #jkinstachallenge Day 5! Patience. I'm learning A LOT about patience while I build my business. As a photographer, our business is so visual! We are lucky to share our art through platforms like social media and the worldwide web. I have my list of favorite photogs, and I drool over their work and think, "They're always on a cool vacation and shooting amazing things! Their life must be SO perfect!" BUT, those photogs aren't posting all about the unglamorousness of the backend of building their businesses! I'm learning it's not always pretty and at times, it's downright hard work! You have to juggle many things and wear different hats. I can't share too much as of now, BUT I've been hard at work, behind the scenes, with the amazing @cream She's helped me take a deeper look at business and brand. The website is going through its own little rejuvenation and I can't wait to share when the time comes! Till then, I hope you have a fabulous Friday and plan to soak up the long weekend! I plan to work in my garden while the ladies roam 🐓🐓🐓 What are your plans?! . . . . . . . . #shuttergoesclick #SGCwedding #SGCphotography #wedinNC #NCbride #DurhamNC #trianglephotographer #nikon #communityovercompetition #naturallightphotographer #northcarolina #durhamweddingphotographer #northcarolinaphotographer #weddingday #ncphotographer #TPLinsiders #chapelhillweddingphotographer #raleighweddingphotographer #chapelhillnc #NCtriangle #Durham #Raleigh #ChapelHill #risingtidesociety (at East Durham, Durham)

I love the #Durham yoga community, y'all. I've met so many interesting people recently, and it's largely all because of the triangle #yoga community. I am so happy to see so many different colors and shapes in my classes, and so many of my fellow teachers are starting up new projects and events around town. Next week is the last week to practice w/ me at my local classes until July- I'll be in #NYC essentially until the end of the month. If you're in the #NCTriangle, check out my facebook page or website (both links are in my instagram header) for more details about my weekly teaching schedule. I'm especially lovin' my Tuesday noon class at @Durhamyoga- the space is freaking gorgeous, and I've been blessed to meet new and awesome people every week. By the way, I was thinking about teaching a last minute drop-in yoga class while I'm in New York.....is that even a thing? Is there a studio in town willing to let a gypsy yoga teacher slide in a quick hour flow for a few students? And if you live and practice in #NYC, would you come out to a last minute body positive vinyasa style class taught by yours truly? #Pinchamayurasana practice at @durhamyoga after my Tuesday class- I just can't get enough of #forearmstand, y'all. It's my predator, my master, my driving inspiration- I can't get enough. Leggings- @forever21

Y'all, I love showing up to teach a class where my students are obviously expecting a more svelte teacher and they are surprised by a curvaceous black femme with the mouth of a drunken sailor. My classes are pro-everything- swearing, laughing, farting, & everything in between. I like to create an environment where it's cool to be yourself, especially if being yourself means sweating and farting your way through vinyasas and exhaling in expletives. If you're down for a yoga class where you can truly be yoirself, check out the all-levels classes I teach locally in the NC triangle. This week's schedule includes: SUNDAY, 5/31, 8am- FREE YOGA IN THE PARK: Fuquay Varina's Mineral Spring Park MONDAY, 6/1, 10:30am & 6:30pm- PWYC (Pay What You Can) YOGA: Hillsborough Yoga Company TUESDAY, 6/2, 12pm- FLOW YOGA at @DurhamYoga THURSDAY, 6/4, 12pm- FLOW YOGA at @DurhamYoga (I'm subbing for @sagetree, high priestess of #nctriangle yoga & OG member of the bad bitch club) Check my website for more details about my local classes- link is in my instagram header! ALSO, hellooooo new followers! If you found yourself here because of @huffingtonpost, @nymag, @abcnews, @yahoo, @ellefr, or anyone else who showed me mad love this week, feel free to creep on my FAQ page to get a better idea about my yoga journey!
