Jamie Turluck

And now for something completely different! Jamie and her husband Robert have been our closest friends in Austin since we moved here 8 years ago. As a fitness instructor, Jamie has always been incredibly fit, but when she's prepping for competition, her physique is on a whole other level. Since I've known her, she has competed 3 times, finishing 2nd twice, and most recently taking home the title of Overall Women's Physique Champion at the 2018 Ronnie Coleman Classic! We are so incredibly proud of her, and I was honored to be asked to take her photos a week before the competition.

 

The Porst Family

Michelle and I used to work together at the Austin Sunshine Camps. When we first met, she was about to have her first son, Asher. Since then, I've watched her family grow to include Griffin and Ellie. The strength of her family has been an inspriation to me, as I am just now starting my own, and I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her family. On warmest day of 2018 so far, we all met at Walnut Creek park and had a blast blowing bubbles, rock hopping, and just being kids. It was a blast, and I hope we can do it again soon!
