Meet Shelby.

Shelby is a fitness trainer and health professional and just an all-around really awesome person.

She contacted me about taking some head shots that should could use to promote Shelby and all of her various ventures (owns a fitness studio, runs a boot camp, editor of a health magazine — you know, the usual) and I jumped at the opportunity to work with her again.

(“again” is referencing the summers and weekends that I babysat for her and Louis’ two kids and LOVED it)

Shelby wanted the pictures to be “her” so we could think of no better place for the session than in and around her family’s beautiful home.

Shelby, you breathe beautiful.

 

And now for the extra-fun part — Shelby donned a pair of angel’s wings for some photos to promote her new business venture “My Diet Angel.”  The idea of this program that Shelby created is that a fitness instructor acts as the “angel on your shoulder,” helping to encourage you to make good, healthy choices in your life — hence the angel wings in the next few photos. It’s a really cool program, so if you’re interested in learning more, click here to learn more about it!

One of the things I love about Shelby is that she’s never quick to take herself too terribly seriously. We ended the shoot with a carrot “cigar” and lots of laughs.

Shelby, I always have, and always will, love working with you — whether that be babysitting (tell your kids to stop getting older!!) or photographing. You’re just an all-around joy.

AND the best thing about the end of this post is that it’s not the last you’ll be seeing of Shelby! The next post I’ll be working on is a session I did of her entire family!

Too many exclamation marks!!!
