Last night I had the pleasure of working out via osmosis. Meet my exercise-by-proxy partner, Jen. She is a couple days away from graduating from Baylor University and is wasting no time making a name for herself after school. She's got plans to start her own personal fitness trainer business, and she's hoping to land a trainer spot on The Biggest Loser. She recently auditioned at an open call for the show and received a call back, so she's on her way. Jen needed a few images for both her business venture and the call back, so we got together last night and did a session to create a few portfolio images for her. It's not often I dig the studio lights outta the closet, dust 'em off, and take 'em on location with me. I use them so infrequently that most times I'm semi holding my breath and crossing my fingers that they still turn on. Because I don't shoot much with all artificial light, it's usually pretty fun when I do because it's a nice change of pace. Doesn't hurt to have a rock star like Jen to photograph either. Here's a few of my favorite images from last night.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the images below would not have been possible on 2 fronts without the help of Jen's sister Rachel. I first met Rachel and her husband Jordan by way of a church group I'm in with Jordan, and then they were in the same pre-marital class that Kylie and I were in. Rachel passed on my info to Jen to get the ball rolling, and then she was a trooper and got the real workout during the session by holding lights and reflectors above her head most of the night. Thanks, Rachel! If you're lookin' for some part-time work, you can be my assistant anytime.
