It has been just about a year since I started the I am CrossFit project and did my first shoot with Jamie. One of the questions that I have gotten most frequently is, “When are you going to let someone photograph you for the project?” My initial answer was to hedge and change the subject.  Photographers, above […]

What is my favorite thing about Crossfit? Hands down the community! I started crossfit over 6 years ago and up until the last year, majority of my time was spent working out alone at home. It was just over a year ago I joined Crossfit Manassas and realized exactly what had been missing from my […]

  Recently I was fortunate enough to be a part of a styled shoot  at the lovely Carnegie Library in Washington DC. The theme of the shoot was a Kate Spade fall wedding and everyone who was a part of the shoot did such an amazing job pulling it together! I had such a fun […]

  My favorite thing about CrossFit is that it’s something I never thought I would do, never mind enjoy it.   I love going in and doing something new or having moments were I doubt myself and then prove myself wrong. It’s making me a stronger person not just physically but mentally too.   My […]

    Since I started at CrossFit Manassas earlier this year I have been trying to beat Joel at something.  Anything really.  So far the only thing that have managed to be better at is a one handed handstand, though I suspect that is because Joel hasn’t really tried to do one yet.  Either way […]

My favorite thing about CrossFit is the scaling. At almost 49, I am one of the oldest at the gym, and probably 99% of the time, the oldest in class. I love that I can work out next to folks who are my oldest daughter’s age and have them challenge me and push me to […]

Photographing Marco this week was great.  He is such a gentleman and refused to let me carry any weights because I might get my dress dirty.  In a slight departure, I included a couple shots from the Vanguard side of the gym.  Marco spends a lot of time training there as well so I thought […]

My favorite thing about Crossfit is how it makes you feel: challenged, accomplished, defeated, improved, empowered, strong, beautiful, and weak. Those moments where you do something you haven’t done before or wasn’t sure if you could are priceless. There is always a movement or weight that you are working towards. It pushes you. I love […]

David is the official Master of Propaganda for CrossFit Manassas, so I decided to let him be our next guy in the series to serve as ambassador. I love CrossFit because I feel that I get the physical activity that my body craves, while at the same time I get an outlet to challenge myself […]

  So, first of all, let me just mention that Kelly has five children – FIVE.  And on top of that she can also do muscle ups and beautiful butterfly pull-ups.  I pretty much want to be her when I grow up 🙂 My favorite thing about CrossFit is that I love how I feel after a wod… […]
