let's get to know each other
HEY THERE,
MY NAME IS KELLY RAE .
I am a professional photographer, yoga teacher, and lover of DIY home and interior design projects. I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Cape Town, South Africa, where I enjoy the summers hiking with my two pups (Gracie & Daphne) surfing year round with friends, as well as taking long walks on the beach (as cliche as that is :) my self care looks like ~ time in nature, listening to music, dancing, and taking long bubbles baths infused with essential oils.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog as a place to share, inspire and inform people; combining three of my passions in life: Photography, Yoga and DIY Design. Interested in collaborating?
I’d love to hear from you!
I founded two small start-up businesses, MOBI YOGI (a mobile yoga studio) and VINYLRAE (an elopement & wedding photography business), on returning home after working abroad. Over the past four years they’ve both grown and evolved; and I’ve now added this space as a place to consciously create and connect. What started as a dream, has slowly turned all my passions, including connecting with others through a variety of creative outlets, into a fulfilled life and career; resonating with people on an authentic and real level. I love connecting with anyone who is curious and wants to learn more about taking photographs, trying out yoga and its many health benefits, and expressing themselves through design and different forms of art.
Life is all about people,
the small moments,
and creative & conscious connections.
I'm here to help inspire you to create a home you love, heal yourself through the divine gift of yoga, and create considered imagery that honestly captures a moment.
My work is a reflection of what inspires me the most - so natural textures + patterns are a common thread. I love to create work that provokes a sense of stillness. To allow the viewer to feel calm and allow them to quieten their mind.
