Stunning in SoHo

In my line of work, I have luck been lucky enough to photograph hundreds of clients, particularly in the last few years. Out of the many names and faces, sometimes people can become a blur. But there was one face in particular that stood out from day one.

I had the pleasure of photographing Hannah a couple of years ago for the first time in central park. I remember thinking she was so energetic, beautiful and confident. She was so passionate and dedicated to her active and fit lifestyle. I remember thinking I wish I could be that kind of person. I hated going to the gym, dieting, anything to do with unnecessarily exerting an excessive amount of energy.

 But I admired her dedication and drive, how passionate she was about fitness. I kept her in mind as I went about my life trying to better myself in that department. Eventually I hired a trainer and nutritionist but still couldn't find that drive that Hannah has. I kept her in mind as I went about my life trying to better myself in that department. 

Eventually I hired a trainer and nutritionist but still couldn't find that drive the Hannah has. Eventually at some point something clicked in me and the drive to want to work out, sweat, to run, to push myself to feel that burn the next morning hit me.  It suddenly made sense. I finally understood Hannah!

I recently was a sign to photograph in Soho and when I saw her name pop up on the list of clients I immediately got excited and knew exactly what I would tell her. As soon as I saw her the first thing I said was how much of inspiration she was to me because I had never met anyone who loved fitness the way she did, in an innocent non-judgemental in your face kind of way. 

When I told her that I finally understood her and that I was on a similar journey and finding my own strength she got emotional and said how excited and happy and made her to hear that. When other people can connect with her in such an important area it means a lot. We spoke for quite some time and even stayed in touch after our session and went out to Brooklyn and hung out for the day. 

She's such an inspirational fun and beautiful person all around. I cannot wait to see what she has next in store. And to buy her matching workout outfits because they are SO amazingly gorgeous! I cannot wait to see what she has next in store.
