It has been over 7+ years since I last shot with Annie Cooper. You'll remember her from my 2014 fitness photo session in Gainesville. Annie is a personal trainer/online coach and a former NCAA Division 1 track and field athlete. She also runs her own fitness business, TuneIntoFitness from Delray Beach, Florida.
I shot with Annie on Crandon Park Beach in Key Biscayne near Miami, Florida right before sunset. Surprisingly it was sparsely populated.
I just love all the palm trees surrounding the shore of the beach. This is pure Miami at its finest!
This lifeguard stand was perfectly positioned right near the beach shore. Palm trees surrounded the structure for the perfect Miami beach aesthetic.
Miami does beaches right and the Atlantic Ocean has to be the best ocean. Look at these incredible colors and views.
Annie casually mentioned she could do a backflip. She was right!

Annie changed into a one-piece neon green bikini. With the sun setting, it had the perfect glow.
Annie has a ton of great sponsors and sponsored gear. I always try to incorporate branded items during a session.
We made our way to the interior of the park to finish up with a traditional fitness look. We caught the best part of the sunset.
Annie switched into a fun pink fitness outfit. We were fighting the sun at this point and moved quickly to get a bunch of different looks including some running.
With the last few moments of sunlight, Annie changed into her final outfit. I was very thankful for the beautiful sunset light we had.
I am so fortunate that Annie and I were able to shoot again. Thank you Annie for all the time you dedicated to this project. Three hours of shooting with incredible swimwear, fitness apparel, and beautiful beach views right in my hometown of Miami is just what I needed. I'm looking forward to our next shoot.
