Of her commitment to pilates, the mother-of-three says she first discovered the activity after having her third child. "One of the things I love most about Pilates is that it's so much more than a physical experience," she says. "There is a true mind and body connection, and since I have been practicing I have felt the effects in all aspects of my daily life."

Where is 'Love Takes Flight' filmed?

Love Takes Flight was filmed in the beautiful Savannah, Ga., and locals will be sure to recognize some historic sites, such as the Savannah Historic District and the Wormsloe Historic Site.
