Women Who Inspire

BlackCat has been working with some local women fitness instructors who are very inspirational in their communities. Our first Woman Who Inspires is Ellen. She is a personal trainer, yoga instructor, youth sports coach and a fantastic person. She inspires people with her smile, her positive attitude and her upbeat energy.

She officially became a fitness instructor 11 years ago when she got waylayed while studying agriculture at Texas Tech. She also trained in wilderness survival and outdoor leadership. She teaches young athletes that sports are a metaphor for life and in that, to train like the person you want to become. She believes fitness is a life-long journey, full of victories and challenges just like life. We all want to feel empowered to make positive changes without changing who we are, and Ellen's job is to help her clients feel successful every step of the way.

Ellen's latest endeavor is call Counter Fitness and it's in-home training for the food and beverage industry. You can find her at: counterfitnesspdx.com
or at ellenbeamanfitness@gmail.com

Curvy Girl Boudoir

Learning how to pose and work with different women and different body types is an important part of being a boudoir and fashion photographer. It is a combination of both art, technical expertise and being present and spontaneous when appropriate. I have also learned to listen to my clients and to accentuate what they love best about their bodies and how to make certain parts less noticeable. I have learned how to flatter different shapes and sizes and to give enough direction to bring out the best in each of my clients. I will show you how to pose and always have enough levity and down time to help you feel absolutely comfortable and at ease during your session.

Danielle was a client who loves her curves. She was sassy, confident and comfortable in her body. It was also clear how much she loved her husband. The session was a present for her him for their 10 year anniversary. She wanted to make sure she we got shots that included his love of both playing and coaching soccer, in addition to more traditional boudoir. I think we did well.
