3/24/2019 0 Comments My First Fitness Photo-shoot
Friday was my birthday, Saturday was my first fitness photoshoot and I was hella nervous. I wish I could say i came prepared but mentally I was running wild with thoughts and emotions. I always wanted to do a photoshoot and now I have a reason (my business, building a portfolio and marketing myself). It turned out to be both fun and very hard because I had to learn to hold poses/ holding heavy weights for extended periods of time isn't easy (even if athletes make it look like so) and I had to be able to flex my muscles to capture veins, striations, etc. I have to admit the fact I had a great photographer helped me a lot, because she was both helpful and patient and very encouraging during the whole shoot. It lasted well over a hour and when it came to an end, without me asking, she mentioned wanting to continue to be a photographer for me -- which was awesome because wasn't sure how it would go from here on out. I am so happy I did this, for those on my Facebook page (personal page) you might have noticed my long post about the reasons why I did this and how much this photoshoot meant to me-- it goes much deeper than the business aspects, it was on a personal and mental level as well, something most people probably didn't even know about me -- but in order to be the best personal trainer I can be, I had to do this for me without worrying about the validation from others / society. I DID IT! and I am very happy, the final results will be done within 10-20 days, and I haven't decided if I will show them on my social media platforms or keep them to myself and only show certain people -- but either way, this was a HUGE step for me and I don't regret it one bit. My next photoshoot will be in May/June outside, so I am looking forward to it and hopefully going forward it will help with building myself as an athlete and personal trainer.
Word of advice: Do it, even if it scares you, do it! some of the best opportunities in life come when you step outside your comfort level.
