Looking good Sarah.


Have you ever thought of having some pro pics taken?


Or at least, getting James to take some so you wouldn't have to use the phone/mirror trick?

Before.




After.

Looks like you definitely put on some size.
How many months apart are those pictures?
The locker room looks like LA Fitness.

I put up 295 twice on bench yesterday. It felt good so next time I'm going to try and break 300lbs. After that 295 I dropped to 275 but I was whooped. I've never really done much work on the bench so I'm testing the waters.

awesome, 295 is not light!

reminds me that i haven't benched with a barbell in months, might have to switch it up for a week or two soon.

Thanks, It was in Austin and I stayed with a friends friend so I didn't have to get a hotel room, so I told James it was cool if he stayed in DFW and worked on OJ's turbo kit.

Sarah, if you want some good pics while you are at your peak, I could come over and take some shots if you and James would like.

(And it would give me a reason to come pick up my jack that has been over there for 2 years.....)

I have studio lighting and backdrops (white or black). Here's just a sample of what I can do, this is an unedited pic of my son back in January. I know the lighting is a tad harsh, but it is easily corrected in Lightroom.

Matt just wants to see you in that Bikini up close... I guess that's what all the OLD guys do

I usually shoot sports, but I'm trying to improve my portrait portfolio. This would be a win-win.
