Fitness & Athletes
I welcome all fitness and wellness journeys—whether you’re into yoga, strength training, or documenting a powerful before-and-after transformation. My approach isn’t about overly sexualized imagery; it’s about creating photographs that make you feel amazing in your own skin while honoring the hard work you’ve put into your body. With experience shooting for leading fitness magazines and top fitness models, I know how to capture your physique in a way that’s flattering, tasteful, and confident—balancing class with undeniable sex appeal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I’m nervous because I’ve never done a photoshoot before. Will you help me pose?
A: Yes! Absolutely! Many of my customers are first-timers. Posing doesn’t have to be complex. It just takes a few minor tweaks to go from good to great!
Q: What clothes should I bring?
A: We’ll talk through everything you’ll need in a pre-shoot phone consultation. Most important thing is to NOT wear anything tight on your way to the shoot. It will create marks on your skin that take extra time to remove in photoshop.
Q: Do I have to get a professional to do my hair & makeup?
A: I highly recommend it, but I also know that the costs can add up. Please consider it. It can make a huge difference.
Q: Will you lower your price if I find a cheaper photographer?
A: Nope. I work very hard to provide the highest value possible with all the variables of my business overhead.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: I accept Venmo, PayPal, Credit Cards & Cash.
HOW TO PREP FOR A SHOOT
• Get Sleep!
• Tan. Tanned skin looks better when photographed.
• Shave/wax a couple days prior to prevent reddish irritated skin.
• Clean and/or paint finger nails & toe nails.
• Pack ahead of time.
• Make sure you’ve confirmed your hair & makeup appointment if applicable.
• Confirm you have the address of our shoot.
DAY OF THE SHOOT
• Be on time. A lot of work goes into a workday schedule.
• Wear loose fitting clothing to prevent creases imprinted on your skin.
• Bring high heels if we’re shooting in the studio. They’ll help with posture.
• Relax. It’ll be fun.

My studio is 8 minutes from the beach. Elite sessions can be split up into two locations. It’s a great way to come to Ventura and get studio and beach images on the same day.
