Fitness Photography in Northern Virginia and Washington DC

Every fitness project starts with two pre-production calls at no additional cost. The first call is where we get to know each other. I learn about your goals, your story, and where the images will be used. The second call is where we lock everything in. Location, wardrobe direction, production goals, and every logistical detail confirmed in writing before we set foot on set.

For personal brand productions I ask you to send references and inspiration before we meet so we arrive with a shared visual direction. We plan together and by the time shoot day arrives everything is sorted out.

For rented facilities I arrive one to one and a half hours before the shoot begins to set up and finalize the plan. A point of contact for facility access is confirmed during our planning process.

In a live fitness environment I arrive 45 minutes early to walk the space and confirm the plan against real conditions before we start.

A production assistant is a necessary part of every commercial fitness production and is confirmed during planning and built into the project scope.

    What is Included?

    STRATEGIC PLANNING

    Before the camera comes out we figure out what the production needs to accomplish and who it needs to reach. That conversation shapes everything about how we shoot.

    POSING AND COACHING

    I tell you exactly where to put your hands, where to look, and when to breathe. Most clients say they had no idea what to do until I showed them and then it clicked.

    TIME TO GET IT RIGHT

    I have never met someone who felt natural in front of a camera on the first shot. Most people walk in thinking about it. By the time we are done they forgot it was there. We keep going until that happens.

    WARDROBE OPTIONS

    Bring as many outfits as you like. Athletic wear, branded gear, lifestyle options. We work through them all. Wardrobe consulting is available if you want help building looks that align with your brand, tone, and goals.

    Pricing & Scheduling

    PRICING

    Fitness productions start at $650 for personal brand work and scale based on scope and deliverables. Reach out and we will figure out the right fit for what you are building.

    Hair and makeup is available starting at $450 and is coordinated through a third-party vendor confirmed at booking.

    An extended license covering two years of worldwide usage is included with every fitness project.

    SCHEDULE

    Retouching, Delivery & Turnaround

    TWO TYPES OF IMAGES

    You receive two types of images from every fitness production. Fully retouched hero images built for your website, press materials, and advertising. Natural edited photos that are color-corrected and ready to use for social media, email, and general content where applicable.

    The best fitness images are not the ones where you look the most intense. They are the ones where you look like you belong exactly where you are.

    DELIVERY

    Your images are delivered through a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution files for print and professional use or select web-optimized versions for digital and social. No raw files are delivered under any circumstance.

    TURNAROUND

    Standard turnaround is 7 to 10 business days. Rush delivery is available within 72 hours for an additional 25% of the total shoot fee.
