"Shooting with MyContesPix was truly a fun and wonderful experience for me. I have
never done any professional type shoots in all my years of growing within the sport
of strength training, fitness and female bodybuilding, then out of nowhere I do
2 shoots back to back in one week - post the Gold's Classic. I definitely learned
a bit more about what it takes to represent yourself in the eyes of bodybuilding
and its followers and vice-versa; bodybuilding through the eyes of the indivdual.
My perspective in how I visualize myself within this sport and how I demonstrate
that routine of discipline, committment, courage, satisfaction... all of which translates
into my everyday life outside the gym door, is what I want to portray in my pictures.
When someone looks at my picture I want them to see a woman who is self-confident
and comfortable in her skin within this sport and I truly believe MyContesPix captures
that image beautifully in his photos, so thank you for that Spence!"
