I had the pleasure of photographing Kristy in my studio this summer. Kristy booked a fitness glamour shoot (one of my most popular photoshoots). This was intended to document this time in her life when she had worked so hard achieving her goals.
Before the day of the shoot, I phoned Kristy and we discussed her goals for these photos and what type of backgrounds and outfits she wanted to choose, Kristy took the time to look at my previous work and decide on colour palettes for her online platform and social media content.
On the day Kristy had a fantastic makeup artist @xfayemuax to apply her beautiful studio makeup. Whilst faye applied Kristys make-up, we had time to talk about Kristy’s work life and future goals and her enthusiasm to help others. This is what she said:
My name is Kristy gunning and I’m currently here to have a shoot with the incredible and very talented Laura skye.
I am a personal trainer and also teach Pole fitness at a gym called Just train based in Staines. I have been a PT/Pole instructor now for over 5 years, and still learning along the way. I believe you never stop learning if you have passion and love for something. I absolutely love my job helping people reach there goals. The best feeling in the world is when my clients start to gain self confidence which in turn changes their mindset.
Being a pole instructor means I am constantly improving myself and my knowledge to be on top form. To do this I have two weekly lessons with Sarah who owns @thepolestudio.
My future goals are to one day hopefully step on stage competing in body building shows. There's a few shows that I would like to do.
It would be a dream of mine to become a @WBBFPRO. My beautiful coach @KateLinsell who has been helping me reach my dreams is my inspiration and someone I look up to. She's a beautiful person and I'm so happy to be part of her team.
My other inspiration is my girl @AbbeyWillis she's been part of my journey helping me with my posing sessions to be the best I can on stage.
Make sure you set goals and dreams, that's what gives you the fire in your belly!
One day I aspire to have my own Pole studio and gym, I will make it happen!
