It was Christmas time.



funny faces.
I love it when kids get comfortable with the camera and all of the people around them so quickly and easily. They want to accept people and that's a gift as adults that somehow falls more by the wayside than we'd like it to. Our cynical, critical, judging side comes out and in a second we want to suck it all back in and wish it never came out.
This sweet boy was so much fun with all of his dramatic and silly and all over the place faces. So glad I got to meet him!
Getting to hang out with kids who love to be themselves with all of their silliness, crazy funny faces, happy to be your friend nature, quiet looks and energy filled love and happiness...and even the emotional breakdowns mid photo shoot...is the fun part of what I get to do.
filled. LIFE.

Out in the barn.



young Chloe had a cow. ee-i. ee-i. ohhh.
The wind was whistling from every direction when we got out of the car. The sky was clear blue but the weather was not inviting us to stay outside for any length of time. It felt like it must have been something below zero. I was so glad to hear that we would be shooting in the much warmer barn. Now, when I think of a barn I usually think the big red made out of wood type things. This was a warehouse. It was huge and once inside you completely forgot about the horrible windchill. Yay.
That was awesome but Miss Chloe was more awesomer (I realize this is incorrect grammar...but she was)
Chloe shows cows. Her cow is beautiful. Even though her cow is all pretty and might bat her eyelashes at Chloe to get her way; Chloe is having none of it. That cow and her 4 hundred pounds will not be bossing Chloe around. Another little girl might have been worried but not this one. I loved hearing Chloe talk about how much she knew about cows and barns and shows and how to manage her cow.
Thank you for a great afternoon, Chloe. You go, Cow Girl!

Move it Monday: Kids + Yoga
will my kids like yoga?
Kids are like sponges, soaking up everything you do and say. Now is the time to lead them to a
healthy lifestyle: encouraging daily exercise and mindful, healthy eating.
A great way to get your kids engaged in exercise, without them really even knowing that they are exercising, is to do yoga with your kids. Without fail, every time I roll my yoga mat out on my living room floor, my kids get excited and run over to join me. We do sun salutations together, we bark in downward dog and we meow in cat pose. We have airplane contests: who can hold the pose the longest, we support each other in
headstand and we cheer each other on in crow pose. We even explode like volcanoes.
We move our bodies, we connect and most importantly we laugh. We find joy in our yoga practice together which sets them on the path to enjoying the movement of their bodies.
Lisa Brownstead is a former TV news anchor who believes in the transformational power of yoga and helping young and old alike find more balance, self esteem and joy in their lives through yoga. She also believes that yoga (and a little bit of humor) leads to a significant decrease in stress and keeps those practicing looking and feeling young! As a mom of three kids who love yoga, Lisa has followed her passion teaching yoga to both kids and adults. Lisa is the founder of Pretty Postures.
