Nekole always brings in a fantastic aesthetic package and this year at the 2009 NPC Nationals was no different. Her posing is also quite graceful so during our shoot I had her do one of the poses she included in her routine.
We've shot with Cheryl Faust before at the Arnold but she has really been hitting the gym hard and we though she was one of the standout physiques in the though light heavyweight class at the 2009 NPC Nationals. Cheryl placed sixth and definitely looked fantastic for our shoot Sunday morning. Look for more on this great female bodybuilder on the http://www.genexmagazine.com and http://www.ftvideo.com websites.

Let me know which design you all like best of Tina Chandler (horizontal) or Kira Neuman (vertical)
We got to shoot with three of the female bodybuilders competing in the Olympia and we already posted a teaser of the shot of Tina Chandler, so here's a look at Heather Armbrust and Kristy Hawkins - enjoy!
Still trying to get caught up on all this recent traveling, but had to share
a pic of Jamie Troxel from Atlantic City. Super nice girl and a joy to work
with!
During the 'Meet the Olympians' in Las Vegas last weekend I spotted this
cute girl with some pretty awesome tattoos. Her name is Maria Luque and she
is originally from Germany but moved to Texas. Never did a photoshoot
before but I found her to be very photogenic. (I'm such a sucker for tough
musclegirls with tattoos though!) Hers had a very good design. ~James
Here’s a few snaps from our arrival at the Orleans – see if you can guess who this female bodybuilder is!
The two ladies accompanying promoter extraordinaire Jon Lindsay are Sasha Porshnikoff (left) and her friend Sasha Brown. Who wouldn’t wanna be in that Sasha-sandwich?! Download Sasha’s wallpaper we shot on the bodybuilding.com website too!
We landed here in Las Vegas for the 2009 Olympia weekend and our first shoot was with Aubrie Richeson. Here’s a sneak peek at one of the shots from the shoot – stay tuned to our twitter account to get more updates throughout the weekend!
Just wanted to share this shot from our shoot – we got some incredible stills and motion photography with Lyris who is not only a great bodybuilder but also a fantastic model!
We first heard about Lisa Giesbrecht from Steve Wennestrom who may be featuring her in Ironman magazine soon so keep an eye out for this stunner. Lisa used to compete in figure but after coming in ripped at every show, she decided to make the jump to bodybuilding and displayed an incredible and ripped physique at the 2009 Canadian Bodybuilding Nationals. Another successful crossover athlete and that’s something we’re happy to see.
Well it looks like it’s going to be a pretty impressive fight for the Pro Cards this weekend. The Masters and open classes were really impressive and lots of tough competition. The MWs only had three athletes, but there were 18 in the HWs.
Thanks!

We got this from Tracy Beckham - check it out and let us know what you think!
Just a teaser – James shot some more great video out in the HEAT with KO!
A new competitor who impressed a lot of people at the USA two weeks ago was LaDawn McDay, who at 5-foot-4 and 139 pounds placed third in the light-heavyweights - the toughest class in the show. LaDawn is a 35 year-old Detroit schoolteacher who actually trains at the same Powerhouse Gym in Highland Park, Mich., where eight-time Ms. O Lenda Murray began her bodybuilding career. "Lenda Murray is a great inspiration to me," she says. She has been competing in shows in Michigan since 2004 and placed sixth in the heavyweights at the North Americans - her first-national level show - last year.
LaDawn teaches 8-10 year-olds who she says are very supportive of her being a bodybuilder. "During pre-contest, they make sure that I eat my meals or drink my shakes on time," she says. "In fact, they enjoy bragging that their teacher has muscles. Many of the young girls see me as a role model and aspire to get in shape and want to know more about my eating and training routines. I use bodybuilding as a tool to educate my students on living a healthier lifestyle." LaDawn plans to do the North Americans again on August 29. She will also be guest posing at the John Simmons Bodybuilding Classic in Detroit on September 12.
We’ve noticed a lot more video clips now that the new iPhone 3G-S is out. We’ve uploaded a few clips from Jr Nationals, Teen, Collegiate, Masters and USAs in the past three months and I was just forwarded this clip of Sarah Dunlap taken with one too. Keep your eyes out – there will be a ton more video everywhere as iPhones and DSLRs get used more and more to take video.
We got sent this awesome shot of Carmen Knights who’s following the trend of switching from figure to bodybuilding and we think she is looking great as a bodybuilder. She is doing the Tampa Pro show which will be her BB debut. If you are going to the show, keep an eye out for her!
More about Carmen is posted on her website
(Thanks to Weider UK for the tip and photo!)
She is shown training and they have a quick profile on Apollonia "Polly" Helm who recently competed at the Crossfit championships in Santa Cruz, CA. You can read more about it here:

So we shot with Kira this weekend. She’s one of our faves and we got some great sunlight at the end of the day. She and Aleesha Young also shot with Steve Schibelli of Awefilms and they got some great stuff!
A few from the shoots we did this weekend. Some shots of Michele Bigler (whom we shot at Masters Nationals as well), Bonnie Pappas and Kirsten Haratyk! James will be posting some of his shoots coming up too.
Melissa loves video and her HD Flip cam. She’s going to be co-hostessing the USAs House Party Sunday afternoon so look for invitations at the finals tonight. We’ll be grilling up juicy meats, listening to chill beats, and enjoying the pool and muscle babes. Undoubtedly we’ll be busting out our cameras and James will be doing a live “Buff Girls Gone Wild” broadcast on http://www.fitvixenz.com as well… stay tuned!
So we made it out to the weigh ins to check out what was going on and it was quite the crowd there tonight. A few snaps we took of some of the competitors we came across:
Holly Geersen looking amazing!
Aleesha Young and Kira Neuman are ready to enjoy Las Vegas!
Rebecca Canez and Angie Robertson
Taylor Waldrop
We love, love, love Amber and she looked so hot at the Teen, Collegiate and Masters Nationals this past weekend. We got a lot of video and stills and are going to right here predict that if Amber hits her diet at Nationals she'll turn pro this year!
