Looking for a way to reignite your motivation and deepen your connection with your partner? Look no further than a couples fitness photoshoot with Life Portraits Fitness!

This isn't just about capturing sculpted physiques (although those will look amazing!). It's about celebrating your journey together and creating a powerful motivational tool to keep you both on track.

Read on for 5 reasons why this could be the perfect way to boost confidence together, rekindle the spark, and create lasting memories together.

1. Motivation amplified: Double the power, double the results

Let's be honest, staying motivated on a fitness journey can be tough. But when you have a partner by your side, cheering you on and holding you accountable, it becomes so much easier.

A couples photoshoot sets a concrete goal, a point on your fitness timeline to work towards. It becomes a shared challenge and a way to push each other further and celebrate victories together.

Seeing the difference side-by-side will fuel your motivation like never before!

2. Bonding beyond the gym: A shared experience

Fitness isn't just about physical goals; it's about commitment and dedication.

The process itself, from planning outfits to working with a photographer, can be a fun and intimate experience. You'll learn to support each other in a new way, celebrate each other's strengths, and conquer any self-doubt as a team.

3. Celebrate every milestone, big or small: You deserve It!

Every victory on your fitness journey deserves a celebration! Whether it's hitting a new personal best, achieving a long-desired goal, or simply sticking to your routine for a week – all of it deserves recognition.

Fitness photoshoots can be the perfect way to document these milestones as a couple. Imagine looking back at those photos years later, remembering the hard work it took to get there, and the joy you shared along the way.

5. Forever memories

A fitness photoshoot allows you to freeze these special moments in time, capturing a slice of your journey together. Years from now, looking back at your photos will be a reminder of the incredible progress you made as a team, the dedication you shared, and the love that fuelled your success.

Embrace the power of partnership and make your fitness journey a transformative experience for both your body and your relationship. Let's capture your love, dedication, and progress – together!

7 tips to Nailing your First Fitness Photoshoot - Brisbane Health, Fitness & Boudoir Photography

So you’ve achieved a weight loss goal, you’ve just competed or you’ve reached a health milestone and you want to capture your efforts and physiques with a photoshoot…… GREAT DECISION!

A fitness, boudoir or fashion photoshoot captures this time in your life and documents your hard work, sacrifices, motivation and time through imagery. We take a moment in time and freeze how you felt and how strong you are as a person to reach your goals. We all need to remember to celebrate our successes and reflect on our journey and investing in a photoshoot is a wonderful way to do so.

Having competed in figure bodybuilding in the past, reaching this high point in my physique and then not capturing this moment was the biggest regret I ever had! So if you’re daunted by the cost, how to be prepared, what to wear, where to shoot….. we can help you! We’ve gone into 7 tips to nail your first photoshoot below:

1. Prepare for the investment of a photoshoot it’s worth it! Budget this into your competition costs or weekly budget or opt for interest free payment plan

We find with a lot of clients that price is off-putting and people do not see the value in spending the money on capturing this moment in time. After all the hard work you’ve put in, time, sacrifices, hard hours in the gym… what are you doing to document you reaching this goal? Yes you can tick it off the list of things you’ve done and write about it on social media, but nothing outweighs the captured image and freezing this successful moment in your life. In order to prepare for the cost of a photoshoot, budget this into your costs for competing, or when you start a weight loss journey, start putting money away each week for this. At Life Portraits, we allow our clients to pay $150 upfront and then fortnightly/monthly payments, leading up to your shoot. The cost is worth the value and joy it will bring to your life looking back at these moments for years to come, and for generations to come!

3. Narrow down the style of imagery you want - Boudoir, fitness gym, fitness fashion, beach, lifestyle
The first step to planning a photoshoot is to determine the style of imagery you want. Once you have secured this style we can then guide you in choosing your location, outfits and types of posing. We provide a pinterest gallery of examples to help you decide what you’d like to do.

4. Find a location that suits your style and your personality
At Life Portraits we provide our clients with a full suburb breakdown of locations around Brisbane for options for their photoshoots. Sometimes, choosing a location is the hardest part of the photoshoot process as their are so many themes you can channel. Once you have the style of imagery that you want, we can then match a location to this style. Common locations include; gym, beach, graffiti walls, coloured walls, street style, lifestyle greenery open spaces, apartments/houses for boudoir. You can see lots of great examples on our instagram page

5. Narrow down your outfits to 2/3 options that matches the style of imagery you want and your location
Once you’ve nailed steps 2 & 3, we will guide you with pinterest boards and through email communication what outfits to use for your photoshoot. Common ideas include bikinis, one pieces leotards or body suits, booty pants, fashion wear, fishnets, lingerie, sports wear, leather jackets and boots, body crystals etc. We help you match your outfits to the colours of your location.

6. Preparing for the photoshoot day with hair, makeup & tan
You’ve done all the hard work to get to this point, now you want to look a million dollars for your photos! We always suggest to our clients that you get your hair, makeup and tan done professionally so that you are looking 10/10 for your photoshoot. Having this done reflects in your photos, looks a million dollars, boosts your confidence. We work with some great professionals in the industry, one of our most recommended is Shique Beauty in Brisbane - specialising in hair, makeup, tans, nails etc.

7. Photoshoot day - Have a bag packed with outfits, snacks, water and MUSIC
It’s photoshoot day! Make sure you have a bag packed the night before so you’re not rushed for the photoshoot and you’re calm and ready for the day. We always suggest that you play music on your shoot to help you relax, get into the motion of posing and enjoy the experience. We will guide you with posing, positioning your body in the best way possible to make you look your best.
