THRIVE

1: To grow vigorously : flourish. 2: To gain in wealth or possessions: prosper. 3: To progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances.

As an avid seeker/creator of Heart Swells, having a photo session opportunity where two of my great loves collide is pretty darn sweet. I am a wellness enthusiast, so meeting the O’Laughlin family, owners of multiple Thrive Hot Yoga locations made me a little fan girl so to speak. They were warm, expectedly Zen and super flexible (pun intended). Another day of MI snow and absolute frigid temperatures had us mostly indoors at their beautiful Birmingham, Michigan home and we managed to make melty family moments in each pocket of sunshine we found. We were brave enough to venture outside for just a few, where we could get silly and throw a little snow around like magic. More than just a Mom & Dad, business owners, daughter & son, sister & brother and fur baby, there was a special hum to the heartbeat of this session where a family lives, loves and thrives.
