Brenda for Oxygen Magazine

A glimpse into the world of my “other” work, editorial.   I photographed Brenda this week with a specific fitness magazine in mind.   Brenda is an amazing, energetic, sporty, mom of 2 daughters, and has done some fitness contests in the past.  Fitness is her passion!   Her love of it is contagious to those that surround her.  I love photographing people that love what they do, it always shines through!  Brenda will be featured in a 2 page spread, as well as wall as a full page, in the April issue of Oxygen Magazine.  Way to go Brenda!!!   You can read more about Brenda and her passion here: http://teambeachbody.com/ABSoluteSuccess
