Living in the Manitoba Subarctic of Northern Canada, there are a lot of luxuries we are used to living without. What I pride the most in living here however, is that talented people really can develop the skills and experience to do great things because of the unique opportunity of our location.
Heart centered entrepreneurs are my people. When I get to find them here at home in the wild north, it is truly a blessing.
Kriste Crate is one of those blessings.
Northern Manitoba’s talented Photographer & Videographer, Kriste Crate.
A yogiographer as I like to call them, is not only a photographer or videographer that understands the concept of the magical yoga experience, and is skilled in their trade, but also understands, well, yoga. Alignment and integrity is crucial to us yogis in the frame, and not just any photographer can take on that task. Kristie rose to the challenge and nailed every shoot and experience.
Kristie is the balance needed for us to create great things together.
She is the Yang to my Yin- the Aries to my Libra.
As a yogi, (Ok, and as a crazy mamapreneur,)I need to constantly remind myself to come back down to earth and stay grounded. I love love love our time together. 
This year we have worked on so many projects together, and Kristie has produced the majority of the pictures and videos for most of my content. Check out the boss in action.

And her latest creation: Capturing what the “Yoga Experience” looks like at our studio, Mo Tus Nua Wellness.
The story she told was exactly the vision we had. Her attention to detail still dazzles me in this video.
