A Portrait Session with Emily Krug – Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor

I had a great portrait session for Emily Krug, a local massage therapist (LMT) and certified yoga instructor. I have been working with Emily to get some new images for brochures and business. We started with some shots of traditional thai massage, also known as yoga massage, and then followed with this fun portrait session.

We wanted to have a different take on the traditional portrait style or headshot. We created some images that are have some movement, are more flowing and free which ties in with the traditional style of massage that is her specialty and yoga movements. The top of Rocky Butte State Park seemed like an easy option with it’s endless vistas, bold colors and graphic elements from the stone work.

Emily was fun and easy to work with and naturally comfortable in front of the camera. As part of payments, I was able to get in with Emily for several traditional thai massage sessions. I can’t say enough great things about her massage sessions. I felt better than I had in years after our first session and woke up the next day feeling alive and great! Emily also is teaching Sunday evening yoga classes at Belmont Yoga in Portland, Oreg.
