She's been kicking my butt for 2 years and counting...

For the past two years I've been working with Jen who is a personal trainer at the WAC (Wisconsin Athletic Club in Wauwatosa) doing the Pilates Reformer. It is a workout you cannot believe, and after two years by the end of the 30 minute session I am sweating and cursing and begging to be done. If you have never understood the phrase "work from your core" you will after 5 minutes on that bad boy. It's made an amazing difference in my energy levels at weddings; building the strength in my arms and shoulders so that I don't suffer with neck aches and shoulder stiffness after a double header wedding and portrait sessions all week. Jen is awesome, so if you are looking for a trainer who will make you laugh and kick your butt, then give her a call at the WAC.

The tables were turned when I got to kick her butt a bit for a portrait session with her kids and he boyfriend's son. Actually, there was not a lot of butt-kicking, they were a pleasure to photograph and were all very well behaved. These were taken at Lake Park, which is always an awesome setting for photos.
