One of the most gratifying feelings for me is when I get an email from someone or a company that asks me to be the photographer for a project. This time it was Lululemon Athletica! I couldn’t believe it. I had to read the email over again to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

I was initially commissioned to photograph two lululemon ambassadors from The Domain store: a former All-American runner and Trail Roots founder Erik Stanley, and a well-known trainer Travis Goyeneche. After I turned in their best selections, Lululemon gave me more ambassadors to photograph! What started as two ambassadors turned into a total of 12 Lululemon ambassadors that represented six stores in two cities, Austin and San Antonio. The best part of it all was getting to meet some old (and new) friends in the fitness community. They all provide such an invaluable service to our community: health.

I want to send a special thank you to Samuel Williams of Lululemon who took a chance on me for this project and also drove me to San Antonio for the day shoot to photograph the San Antonio ambassadors. What a champ! You don’t know how much this meant to me and my career — thank you, thank you, thank you.

Here are just a few of my favorites:
