Spotlight: Kim gets “Fit for Photos”

So in January we received a unique email from Kim:

Hello! I am doing a “Fit For Photos” fitness challenge and am looking to set up a session to do my after pictures once I finish this challenge. I’m three weeks into it right now and it ends March 10th. If you have an opening I would like to do my session on the 11 or 12. If you could give me a call and we can talk about the kinds of pictures, props, etc – that would be great! Thank you! Kim

Kim was clearly excited about having us create some portraits for her and actually – it was a required part of this challenge. It’s a 63 day challenge run by Scott Colby (aka, the Abs Expert) and part of the challenge is professional portraits when the challenge is complete. Scott requires these not be your typical after photos (you know, stand square to camera, click, turn, click, done) – but instead be a reward to yourself for all that hard work. Naturally, we think that’s pretty cool – you can read more about Scott’s program here.

Of course, we called Kim and started talking about the challenge so we could learn more about it – and about her goals. She was extremely excited and the super cool thing for us, she is from far Northest Iowa and would be driving nearly 4 hours one way to our studio. We were honored she had selected our studio and was making such a commitment in order to have us create these portraits for her.

Finally, March arrived and we got to meet Kim – she looked awesome! We saw her before photo and she clearly went all-out for this challenge – not just shedding pounds – but becoming a healthy, fit person. We had a blast during her session and totally lost track of time – but it was completely worth it. Kim made our job extremely enjoyable and easy – and we loved creating her 10×10 album!

We delivered Kim her album last month and she kept saying “wow” and “that’s me” over and over again – so fun! Since then, Kim referred a new “Fit for Photos” challenger, Jody, to our studio – and we are creating her portraits in July – can’t wait. Plus, not only did Kim get a gift from the studio for referring a friend – so did Jody!

Kim isn’t done though, she has started a 35 day express challenge and is part of the 4 person “Team Inspiration”. Kim has already told us she will be back to see us later this year – we can only imagine what she will look like then. Kim – congratulations on your progress thus far and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
