When a body builder called I wasn't sure what would walk through the door. This almost 40ish mom was a blast to work with and entering her first competition Sunday.

    Thanks Daniel. The first one was for her husband who manages a Ford dealership. I hate when they want to show off something on the back as the face doesn't work out for me.

    I like four a lot!

    Number two would work really well for me if there were more light camera right. It's just a bit too dark on that side for my liking.

    I think number five is really cool and bet she loves it.

    I am indeed wondering how her "glutes" look in that red bikini! :D

    Woah, scary lady (hahaha)

    Very nice series, and there are two of them that I prefer.

    The first one as it is kind of funny, the question is " who is build without taxpayers money, the girl or Ford?" . The composition I do like and all other aspects are just right.
    The only thing I would do is to crop just under the bottom of the T, so dropping the camouflage hot pens.

    The second one is number 2, I do like the contrasts and the pose...

    Seven is also very good and appealing to look at.

    The less good is the bikini shot. For two reasons, first what's wrong with the breasts? One can park a car in between them, its kind of abnormal. I understand that she might have been build that way, but then I would try another pose and emphasize it. The attention is really drawn to it due to the , how shall i call it the "flashy nippels", the result of your flash I assume. Or was it deliberate ?

    So overall a very good job and the hard light works well.

    I am sure you did not argue with here during the shoot.....

    Thanks Stephan, the bikini shot was one of the mandatory poses that are required in competition. We tried to cover all the poses. I never noticed the splashy spots, but now that you mention it.........

    Ford motor company was the only car company that did not take Obama bail out money so they are pushing that and her husband works in a Ford dealership and she requested the shot for him.

    Update on my bodybuilder. She took 1st in her division and 2nd over all. Remember she is a mom with 3 children. Wished I looked a 1/10th that good.

    This ones for Bryce.
