Met the nicest photographer...

D Magazine sent over a photographer last week to shoot some photos of Richard and I, and I have to say that Wade Livingston happens to be the nicest guy I've met in a while... I just had to brag about him:)  He totally went wayyy above what was called for that day; even drove back home to get a large backdrop so that we could get a really nice photo of a large, two tier fandelier, which was hanging in our showroom.

A photograph by Wade Livingston.

He's so passionate about photography; I totally loved that about him: "I love fashion photography because to me it is like a blank canvas, you start with beautiful clothes and beautiful models (of course!) and then you decide where you want to shoot (kind of the background of a painting) and how you wan to light it (I love lighting!.)"  He says that he loves the creative freedom photography allows; I can totally see that!  I also love it that according to him, his studio is a bright, sunlit, cheerful place; all white with skylights and large factory windows.  Sounds like a perfect place for getting the creative bug... would love to see it in person one of these days.

Wade's favorite project this year is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader swimsuit calendar.  Apparently he was just sent on his 12th trip in April; how fun!

You should check out his Facebook page... I'm already a fan!

By the way... I can't wait to see the photos in D-Home!  I'll be sure to post them on here pronto.

Acro yoga? Say what???

I've tried the aerial yoga, which is awesome, I've tried the aerial cirque classes which just rock, and now I have officially been to my first ever acro yoga class!  It was so much fun!
Every time I try out one of Kimberly and Dylan's Cirque Fit classes, I'm completely in love... they just keep getting better and better.   ...and each time I think I must be nuts, there's no way I'm going to be able to do that  ...and each time Kimberly and Dylan convince me that I will  ...and then it just happens!  Simply incredible.


Kimberly and Dylan basically took acrobatics plus Thai massage and BOOM! Talk about a great pairing filled with super deep partner stretching and basically creating living and breathing sculpture with your own body.
