No Pain, No Gain

Awhile back, I had a request to photograph a modeling portfolio. But not just any portfolio... a body building portfolio. Uhm, you can bet your buns I said YES! 

Meet Echo. She's pretty bad-ass (can I say bad-ass on my blog?). I mean, holy smokes. LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS and you will understand. And to top it off, she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Not to mention driven and dedicated. It takes so much mental focus to be able to stick with something like this (I've tried and failed so many times to just eat right... ha). Oh and, she's a trainer too. Echo Taylor Fitness, baby. 

I had a blast photographing her and going on a spontaneous jaunt to Lincoln City to finish our session. I mean, when you get the urge to go to the coast, you just have to go! And she rocked it.
