I’m getting inspired again. I feel it coming in. It’s this feeling of needing to move, needing to create, wanting to create. It’s been a long winter and we made it. It’s that Spring energy coming in. I feel it ✨🌿

My style of photography is wild, it’s free it’s organic. It’s walking with you into your element and watching you come alive. It’s being in nature and seeing how relax into the world around you. 

You’re doing it, I’m just capturing it. 

If you’ve been following BKC you know my style. It’s this. 

I’ve taken a lot of things off of my plate over the last few months. Things that just didn’t fit anymore. I made a promise to myself that I would only participate in things that felt aligned with my values. 

And now I have the space to play and create. 

I’m opening up time in my schedule for photo work. 

From now until I leave for Bali, I’ll be taking on photo clients. 

If you’re a creator, an artist, a yoga teacher, a fitness instructor, a musician, a new brand, someone who’s been looking to feel inspired, or maybe you just want some cool photos of yourself and your life —then this is for you. 

Reach out to me in the comments, tag a friend that you think would love this experience, or message me privately and we’ll chat to see if we’re the right fit for each other.

One of the things I love about this place is the immediacy of the present moment. Leaning into the things that find you. 
The attitude of “why not?”

I was here a few weeks ago and saw horses swimming in the ocean at the end of the night. I had to get off my bike and watch them for a little while. 

Horses swimming. So simple, but I’d never seen it in my life. 

We were standing at a pool club today looking out over the beach and I saw the guys riding their horses in the water. I looked at my friend and said, I wanna do that and he just looked at me and said, alright, let’s go. 

I had that moment of, “oh wait, you mean now? Like right now?”

And he said, yeah why not?

So down to the beach we went. Walked out of the club, onto the sand and into one of the coolest experiences. Horses swimming.  It’s so simple.

I don’t really know what to say yet. I think that will come when my mind has space to process it all. I’m sitting in Reno, quietly in awe.  The power of the desert, the resilience of Burners and the wild connected consciousness of this place. 

I walked in looking for transformation, expecting it to be hard, expecting the breakdowns, expecting the beauty.  Knowing the connection to this place and to myself would unveil the next layer of me.  There are things that happened out here that I can’t explain to you.  Things that had to be orchestrated from another place entirely.  If there was any question in my mind that we create worlds with our thoughts, I can say with absolute certainty that I know  now, first hand, that we do. 

Be so careful with your mind. Thoughts create things. We manifest into reality what we think about —and depending on where we’re at, it can happen in the blink of an eye. What a beautiful power to have —if we use it intentionally. 

This place is the great mirror. I walked in ready to meet the parts of myself I’ve been hiding from for so long.  I saw what I needed to see, because I was finally willing to look. 

This place brought me to my knees, and I am so grateful for it. by @katiemonacelli

Movement changes your nervous system.
Community changes your body. Style is self-expression, not separate from it. Sound shapes how you move through the world.

Put them all in one place, on one afternoon, and something bigger happens.

At 11:00am, sink into a 60-minute house vinyasa led by Chantelle Nicole and DJ KatieBkind with a soundscape built to carry you somewhere else entirely. Think island air, warm current, that specific stillness you chase on a Bali afternoon.
Breath and bass moving as one.

From 12-3PM, the flow gives way to the full experience: pool, poolside lounging, and an afternoon curated by female-owned brands!

Partying and wellness aren’t opposites. 🪩

That’s the whole idea behind SOL Yoga Pool Party, a dream I’ve had since the day SOL opened its doors.

I felt a calling here. To the water, the energy, the nod to the Miami lifestyle that raised me. Growing up surrounded by that culture, I always knew wellness could look like this, sun-soaked, loud, fully alive.

Somewhere along the way, health and wellness got boxed into one look, one size, one flavor. I don’t buy it. What actually matters is whatever makes YOU feel most free and most connected. For some that’s a 60-minute flow. For some it’s dancing till your feet hurt. Both count.

There’s real science behind what happens when people move together, the way music and shared energy regulate our nervous systems, build connection, lower stress. Dancing and sweating in community isn’t the opposite of wellness. It IS wellness.

This isn’t just a party. It’s not just another yoga class. It’s a brand, an idea, a community I’ve built one class at a time and I am so proud to bring my Latin roots to Western New York like this.

Authenticity is the goal. Community is the vision. See you on the mat, then on the dance floor. 🌴✨
