Fitness Shoot with April (part 2)

Finished off the edits from last month's shoot with April. She's only been lifting heavy for the last few months and has made a lot of progress in a short time. BF% is down and the weight is up. She looked great and more importantly is feeling great.

Sparring at Warriors

I went down to Warriors' Boxing and Fitness today to shoot some promo pictures for their upcoming show. While there, some good and lively sparring was taking place...so I had to take pictures. It was a great morning of boxing, like my assistant said, it was a little like church in there today.

Fitness Photoshoot with Randi

A short while ago I did a studio fitness shoot with Randi, who looks like this in the off-season. I've shot with her before and she always brings a very focused and polished package to the shoot. We shot again the next day and that set is being published at the end of the month. Randi was in great shape and really knows her poses. I look forward to photographing her again.
