Introducing Candice

I am thrilled to introduce Candice Ferraer, my latest fitness client, for the first fitness shoot of 2020.

Candice comes from Orange Park, FL where she teaches sixth grade. When she's not in the classroom, she's training and modeling for fitness. She and I had been trying to work together for over 3 years. I was finally able to schedule with her just a few weeks before her wedding.

We shot at the Forest Hammock Community Pool in the Forest Hammock area of Orange Park, Florida. We were able to use the soccer field, tennis court, stone paths, and beach volleyball areas to create beautiful images.

The Gear

Here's the gear we used for our outdoor fitness session:

Cameras: Canon 1D-X Mark II
Lenses: Canon 85mm f1.4L IS, Canon 50mm f1.2L
Gear: Lexar 32GB Memory Cards and Readers, Tiffen UV filters, Hoodman eyecups
Grip and Support: Peak Design Slide Lite straps
Lighting: Profoto A1X strobe

Getting Started

I could tell this was going to be a great shoot just from the first meeting. She had a ton of energy and was ready to hop right in. We started off the session getting warmed up with a killer and fun lifestyle outfit.

The Beach

We moved to the beach volleyball area. Candice switched outfits into a bright Nike Pro sports bra and introduced me to some really killer Lululemon tights (my new fav!).

The Courts

Candice switched into the Nike Indy Pro sports bra keeping on those perfect Lululemon tights. This turned out to be the best outfit of the entire shoot!

The Path

I had to find a new location in the park and just following the path led me to a nice area with some water. I had Candice switch back into the orange Nike Sports bra.

Of course, I had to have more photos in my new favorite outfit combo so I had Candice quickly change again. She was getting really good at changing quickly in tight areas.

The Soccer Field

Candice switched into a Gymshark bra combined with the lifestyle jean shorts. This was a great combo with the available light.

Candice pulled out another great outfit from her bag and combined it with the jean shorts. At this point of the day, we were losing light fast, so we had to move quickly. Candice did a great job of staying positive and moving quickly.

I had Candice dig deep in her big sports bag of clothes. She found this really great and simple fitness outfit that worked out well.

Thank you Candice!!!

I am really hyped to kick off 2020 with this type of energy. Candice was so energetic and really did a great job in her first fitness photo shoot. Looking forward to future shoots with her.
