There is a health and fitness coach for everyone!

It just depends on what you are most passionate about!

For Katy - - She is most passionate about helping Mama's feel good during and after their pregnancy.

She coaches women on how to take care of their bodies during pregnancy, as well as how to get back into shape afterwards.

We did her first photo shoot in the winter before she was showing, and her second photo shoot at 7 months.

The first photo shoot, was in the Polaris Co-Hatch - It was completely a lifestyle shoot, images that she could use for anything. But this shoot, she needed photos of her working out, showing mama's what they could do safely. We also did pictures with her little girl (older sister), And her very adorable colorful dumbbell!

She will use these images to promote her brand and her brand's message.

Everything we take, has a purpose.

Who are your ideal clients, and what is your message to them? Do you have the images to represent those things? If not, DM me! Let's fix that!

Thanks to for use of the space!

This is what we call natural light, (it can also be called available light).

Because I didn't use any extra lighting to create this picture.

Bill is facing an open garage door, similar to the one that you see behind him...

All of the lights in the gym are on, because I can't control that (there were other people working out).

The reason that he's standing at an angle, is because I wanted some of the darkness from the background to mix with the light from the garage door... That's what creates a little bit of that contrast in his muscles.

If he was completely facing the light, we wouldn't see that.

I could have gotten more of his muscles to show if I was using an off-camera light, but that's not the look that he wanted. He liked the natural light!

So if you want this look, stand 45° from the biggest light source. (You can easily do this at home if you have a garage, or a sliding glass door).

Face the light, get a tripod for your phone, and turn 45° from the light. If you're at home, turn off all your lights behind you.

Comment below with a 📱if you would you like to know what cell phone tripods I use for myself??

And DM if you're interested in branding photography for your health & fitness business.

* To be fair, this is NOT a cell phone picture. I am using a DSLR in manual mode, so I am controlling my exposure in camera too.

Pete and repeat were sitting on a bench...

Do you remember that nursery rhyme? It used to drive the adults in our lives crazy.

But let's look closer at the concept. Everyday, you're either evolving, or you're repeating what you did the day before.

And when you want to grow, you cannot repeat.

Sure, some things you do want to repeat when you do them well... But even after a while you're going to want to improve those habits too.

I think of this phrase often, "evolve or repeat"... I think of it when I am creating my marketing, when I'm working out, when I feel like giving up...

They are two very simple words. But with very big rewards or consequences.

Don't let the day slip by, because that's just gives in to repeat... Be intentional!!

I visited the new Quarry Trails Metro Park today... Here's a review:

Floating sidewalks
Waterfall
Bridges everywhere
Kayaking lakes
Bike trails, with lots of hills
(And I'm curious if some of these hills won't become sledding hills during the winter???)

And a hidden cemetery that hasn't been marked yet. Gravestones date back to the early 1800s

To find that cemetery you have to allow your curiosity to lead the way. My friend and I were curious enough to follow a path away from the main path... Into a grove of trees that looked pretty. It turns out it's an overgrown cemetery.

We also found remnants of a past house. I've been told that I see things that other people overlook, maybe it's the photographer in me... But I think everybody can see things if they're willing to look and take in their surroundings.

I highly recommend it! It's family-friendly, dog-friendly, and I can't wait to see it completely finished! It will be so pretty in the spring!

(However, make sure you wear your boots, and be prepared for hills. Also to get to the waterfall, there are ginormous rocks that have been leveled out into steps. Still, they are difficult if you've got old knees 🙄. Although I will say, for me, it was easier to go up than it was to go down the steps).

Which photo do you prefer, the colored version or the black and white?

I like the pop of reds, both original to the photo. But I'm a sucker for a good black and white!

This is Eric! He is a at During our photo shoot, we did both gym photos as well as lifestyle photos. (Lifestyle photos are non-gym photos).

I am now offering a package that includes a 3-month personalized CONTENT CALENDAR & a Photo session that we will coordinate to go with the content calendar. DM Me if you want more information!

People do business with PEOPLE, not businesses!

As a small business owner, you need to make sure that people know who you are - and not just what you do.

You should have one photo of you at least every 6-9 posts... So they don't have to scroll to see who you are.

This is Bobby -
- He is a personal trainer in Columbus. And during his photo session, we took photos of him working with a client, photos of him working out alone, and photos like this... This is called a "lifestyle" image.

Lifestyle images allow you to use the image of yourself to talk about anything you want to. Anything that is relatable to your audience.

And there are so many different things you could talk about with a lifestyle image:

➡️ Mindset

➡️ Healthy habits

➡️ A personal story about your own journey (It doesn't have to be around what you do for your clients)

➡️ Reintroduce yourself, and tell how or why you started your business

➡️ How you deal with stress

➡️ How you balance life

➡️ And more...

Umm, what's with the dinosaur?

This is Martha the T-Rex! She is the epitome of my imagination, and sense of humor all rolled into one. She is also my branding mascot.

She's going to be showing up in my businesses a lot more than she has in the past because... Well because I think it's funny.

This is the cover for my newest class that I'm teaching. All about Instagram reels. For anybody that didn't get on TikTok, and wants to learn instagram's newest feature. I have a class for just $17 that teaches you how to do Instagram reels.

I haven't posted reels on this account, but I have them over on my other account - - They are mildly entertaining. Or at least my mom thinks so. 🤣

Link is in my bio.

Yes, I am still doing fitness photography! Life has just been a little slow right now.

So in the meantime, Martha is here to entertain you. 😉

This image is not real. It's called a composite.

The owner , Eric, wanted to be respectful of the 6 ft apart policy... But we weren't going to be able to do that and fit everybody into the space.

So I compromised. There are 16 people here, and I photographed & lit each and every one of them, SEPARATELY! And then afterwards, I Photoshopped them all back together again... This is called a composite.

The goal of this session with Melt, was to give them photos that actually matched their brand!

As a photographer, I walked into this job knowing that I was going to push my skills to the limit... And I'm so pleased with how it turned out!

Previews from the fitness photo session with

I had so many favorites, it was hard to narrow it down!

I also did an epic composite... That I'm still working on piecing back together again. Since we're not allowed to have people crowded together without masks on, I shot everybody individually and I'm painting them back into the background. It's going to be amazing!

I love pushing the envelope to see what else I can do! Thanks so much to Meredith and Eric for trusting me with this project!

If you're interested in trying a new form of fitness... MELT does yoga, cycle, bar, and dumbbells. And yes the facility has figured out how to space people six feet apart while doing so!
