RedMat

Hello! I'm Sair and I by no mean claim to be a profesional photographer. In fact, I know nothing about photography in general. RedMat started with a red yoga mat and two of my best pals. It's essentially about taking non invasive, very simple photos and turning them into something nice to look at via social media outlets :)

My lovely friend lilsushikins came over for a jewelry shoot :) What a doll!

Here is the latest greatest from RedMat :)

Meet my lovely friend Bronwyn!:

Bronwyn took a slight deviation from her biology studies to pursue outdoor education which involves all sorts of physical activity! A certified First Responder, she transfers her love of lifting to helping people in need of emergent medical care. Always looking for a new challenge, with any luck, she too will be maximizing her flexibility and applying her elementary dance "skills" to the pole! 

The pole world will be happy to have her :)

New series coming soon!

As you may or may not have been able to tell, RedMat is taking a little hiatus.

There are two reasons for this ;)

1. I'm trying to come up with a cohesive concept for the next round of RedMat volunteers. Need to keep this fresh! :)

2. ......My BF is absolutely wonderful.....so wonderful in fact, that while were were in Montreal a couple weeks ago for a shoot he offered to carry the mat while I had my hands full as we were making our way to the train station.........

so wonderful in fact that when we transferred from the bus to the subway..... the mat did not end up coming with us.

That's right Montreal.... the red mat is currently circulating on a bus near you. 

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAT!?!?!?! 

Let me know ;)

(see you in June!)

(still love you jperras) ;)

Any tips for people who want to pole dance?

Absolutely! :) I believe any of us pole dancers would say PERSISTENCE!!!!! It's key! When you first start, it can be ridiculously frustrating due to lack of strength, but don't give up on it after a class or two ;) It takes a couple of months to at least build a bit of foundation. also, stretching is a must for those gorgeous long lines that make pole dancing so pretty :) Hope this helps!!

Happy (day late) Tuesday! :)

Please e-meet the LOVELY Jeanie K! :

Jean grew up studying classical ballet and after entering the workforce as a young business professional, she was looking for something a little more expressive and gravity defying.

She fell in love with pole dancing after taking her first intro class more than 5 years ago.

Outside of pole dancing, Jean has recently completed her MBA in Healthcare Management and is the proud owner of Pole Soothies (polesoothies.com) :)

She is a stellar human being and I seriously had such a hard time picking just 4 photos to post!

Happy Hump day!!!

Happy Tuesday RedMat-ers!

Please e-meet the lovely Marie:

"My name is Marie, I grew up in a small town, I've always loved drawing, wasn't ever much of an active person and like things that are a little more on the geeky side.  About a year ago I decided I wanted to get in better shape, but I didn't like the idea of going to a gym and so I gave pole dancing a try and I've been working hard at it ever since."

<3 I took this photo set of Marie in about 5 mins one night and she nailed pose after pose. It was awesome! 

Hope you're all enjoying sunshine!
