Natiya Guin Photography in Yogitimes this month

One of my favorite images I took of my gorgeous, and now 6 months pregnant friend, Anne Judson-Yager is published by yogitimes this month.

I took this image of her under the Santa Monica pier years ago.  We had just finished a 30 Bikram Challenge that brought us even closer that we already were, and which changed our bodies and lives!

For those of you who don't know, I split my time between my beautiful daughter, my photography business, and working with my amazing students in South Central Los Angeles.

I can't imagine not spending my days with these amazing and talented young people. They inspire me contstantly. Watch our videos to see why!

Monarch After School Program and Drama present: The Crucible

Our students produced a 1950's version of the Crucible at AJR in South Central Los Angeles that had me believing I was watching a College Level performance. From the acting, focus, and passion to the dedication of Ms. Kopera, Jimmy Walsh, the Monarch After School Program, this play made our School and our Community proud.

I can't wait to see where the Talent of these bright young stars takes them next!

This was a wonderful experience for me because I not only got to help create and support the new Drama Club and the first ever full length play at our school, I also got to bring in some of my producing and directing past by creating the lighting department and aiding in many ways behind the scenes. Without my team, Laura and Miguel, the Play would not have had nearly as much support. It takes a village!

There were talent agents in the audience which means this is only the beginning for some of our High School Thespians. Youtube video coming soon...

Blogging at last!!!

YAY I am finally able to post stories about my Photos!  Look for them coming soon.
