Fitness Photography

Meet Austin and Devon, my husband's cousins, who make me feel just a little lazier than normal... kidding, but sort of... They live an avid lifestyle of health and fitness while encouraging and inspiring others to do the same. We did this shoot about a week before Austin (featured top) competed in the NPC event Baltimore Gladiator Championship. Austin went on to take first in his class! Devon (featured bottom) had previously placed first in his class in the Jay Cutler Classic last November. With their wins, they are both qualified to compete nationally!! They put in a lot of work to get to where they are today, and I know their family and friends are very proud of their accomplishments.

After browsing through these pictures, you may feel motivated to make a lifestyle change. Great news, Devon runs a business developing nutrition and diet plans. You can contact him at AdaptFitness89@gmail.com or follow him on Instagram at http://instagram.com/adapt_fitness89/

A big thank you to these guys and the Bel Air Athletic Club for my first fitness photography session. It was a learning experience in lighting and room color (the yellow paint on the walls made it tough to get the colors just right!) I used this monochrome toner for most of the editing to get the look I wanted. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:

Event Photography: Ashley's Bridal Shower

I was very excited when Ashley and her bridal party executives* hired me to photograph her bridal shower. (*Yes, my new term for persons responsible for bridal events leading up to a wedding.) I knew that the event would be absolutely gorgeous and incredibly fun. From the decor to the games, the gifts, and the awesome bridal party, it was every bit of a fabulous time! I am so happy I was there to capture the memories. Best wishes to Ashley and her groom, Javier, as they take this momentous step toward their future together!
