Sam had started visiting Milwaukee Power Yoga in downtown Milwaukee somewhat regularly in late September of 2022. I was a yoga teacher there, and had a class at 11 am on Saturday mornings. Sam had signed up for my class, after hearing about my style from a friend. He came a little early and started small talk about the beautiful fall weather that early October. I had chimed in that I loved this time of year - that caught his attention. After observing my teaching and movements during the yoga class, he wanted to take yoga photos with me as a muse. I was reluctant to agree, but after a few invitations from Sam, I agreed to meet up to discuss the photography opportunity. I had originally planned on only staying for two drinks, but we connected so easily, that it turned into a four hour conversation. We had an immediate connection that was impossible to deny. The rest is history!
