August dump 📸🫶

Another shoot smashed 🤝🏻

This one was about a lot more than just the physical changes from the first shoot 12 months ago.

The growth over the last year, both mentally and emotionally, has been absolutely massive.

And now we’re in a position where we’re looking the best we ever have, but more importantly, we’re in a really good place with everything else too.

Taking things day by day.
Handling whatever gets thrown at us.
And being completely in control of where we want to go from here.

I couldn’t be prouder of how Ida has handled the whole process.

And these photos are epic!

A really good reminder of what can happen when you step outside your comfort zone, go all in and just get your head down and tick the boxes.

Photoshoot weekend dump 📸

Shoots smashed

Pokemon pickup secured

Some lovely scenery for the steps

Successful weekend 🤝

Back in the office for take 2 📸

A second photoshoot is always different because there is expectation and something to go by after the first

Today Ida blew her last shoot away with ease

Not just from a look perspective, but from a confidence and growth perspective as well

We’ll wait and leave the proper photos show that off

But for now we get to relax and enjoy some week earned food and chill before we get back to work

Super proud of you kiddo 👊🏻

Another day at the office 🤝🏻

absolutely smashed her shoot today.

She has handled this prep incredibly well.

Ticked every box and landed a seriously good look today.

It’ll never get boring seeing someone grow through a shoot and then seeing that look come through the lens.

Some well earned food and drinks now 🥂

2 weeks to go

Last few details to etch out

But so proud of everything that’s been accomplished this prep

You wouldn’t think it from her insta stories but this has been a much smoother prep

Compared to her last prep it has been a completely different ball game

She has been locked in from day 1 and the look shows that

Showing up through the highs and lows and getting it done regardless

2 weeks to go

Last few details to carve out

But so proud of everything that’s been accomplished this prep

This has been a much smoother prep than her last one. Completely different ball game.

She’s been locked in from day 1 and the look shows it.

Showing up through the highs and lows, getting it done regardless.

If you watch her stories she definitely doesn’t do a good job selling me and makes it out like I’m killing her off on a daily basis,

But it’s not even that bad and I’m only trying to kill her a little bit really 😂

Proud of you kiddo.

Now we finish the job.

We’re a couple of weeks out from the autumn show season and the reminders are popping up.

3 years on and it’s still fun to look back through the prep archives

Keep in mind coming into the show season

You can’t control the judges.

You can’t control who else is on that stage or what they’re looking for on the day.

None of that is ever in your hands.

What is in your hands.

Is every session, every meal, every day you stick to it when it would be easier not to.

That’s what gets you the conditioning. That inside out conditioning you can’t fake and can’t rush.

Every bit of cardio done. Every meal hit. Every day of prep you didn’t miss a beat on.

That’s what walks on stage with you.

That’s the part that’s actually yours.

Bring that, and let the rest sort itself out.

T minus 4 weeks

Fat loss pretty much wrapped up now

Which gives us a chance to run a trial peak week this week

This will allow us to refine the look and gather data to bring the perfect look to the stage 🎯

Time to smoothly land the look now 🛬
