Why body inclusivity and sustainable fashion go hand in hand
Sustainable fashion isn’t just about the clothes—it’s about building a community of people who share a commitment to environmental and ethical values. By being inclusive of all body types, sustainable fashion can cultivate a more supportive and connected community. When everyone feels welcome, more people are likely to adopt sustainable practices, whether that’s buying consciously or styling sustainably.
The #1 thing that makes me yawn when I come accross a new activewear brand
As a photographer working in the activewear space, I believe it's time to shift the focus. Strength, health, and fitness come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, and the campaigns we create should reflect that diversity.

The images we create as photographers have the power to shift perceptions, and it’s crucial we make them as inclusive as the brand values themselves.

I’m continuing on my philosophical and spiritual exploration of how I use yoga in my business as a yoga photographer.
How I practice the Yamas as a yoga photographer
I don’t think I ever expected to put “Yoga Photographer” as my job title - and yet here we are. I started yoga as a movement practice, and like many of us it became the gateway to what is now my spiritual practice. And if there’s anything to know about any spiritual practice, it’s that they are not separate from life: they ARE life. So I try to apply this philosophy to the way I conduct my life, and to the way I conduct my business. Here are some of the things I implement to work in line with my value system.
