FitForMe Milestone Session Burn Boot Camp Oconomowoc
Strong Looks Different on Everyone: The Story Behind FitForMe™ Sessions
At 4 a.m. while most people are still asleep, the women of Burn Boot Camp in Oconomowoc are already lacing up their shoes, filling water bottles, and walking through gym doors with intention. Some are nurses coming straight from night shift. Others are moms who just dropped three kids at child watch, hair still wet from the world’s fastest shower. There’s the dad who’s showing up for himself after years of putting everyone else first. And of course, the woman who simply decided today was worth showing up for.
Day after day, they’re all there—for their health, their sanity, their families, and most importantly, for themselves.
That kind of dedication? It deserves to be seen.
That’s exactly why I created FitForMe™.
These ladies work their butts off daily. Some wake up before sunrise just to squeeze in a workout before their day officially begins. The commitment, the mental strength, the sacrifice—it’s all there. But in a world where women are constantly pressured to shrink themselves, both physically and emotionally, I wanted to carve out space to do the opposite. To celebrate. Highlight. To say, “Look at what you’ve built.”
FitForMe sessions are not about having the most defined abs or flexing the hardest in front of a mirror. They’re about capturing a moment in someone’s journey—whether they’re just getting started, 30 pounds down, lifting heavier than ever, or simply showing up despite all the reasons not to. These sessions are your proof: I did this. I’m doing this. I am strong.

These aren’t just gym photos. They’re not for social media clout or to sell you anything. FitForMe is entirely about you.
Before your session, we can chat. You let me know what areas you want to showcase—or avoid. Maybe it’s your arms you’ve worked so hard on, or your shoulders that are finally popping. Maybe it’s your back muscles you’ve never even seen (but wait until you do). Every session is customized to highlight your unique progress, in whatever way that means to you.
You’re not alone, either. You’re joined by what we lovingly call the Hype Team: myself, Erika, and Santasha. We are your personal cheerleaders. Santasha will be oiling you up to get that perfect glow. Erika is manning the fan (we can keep this lighthearted—insert hair blowing jokes here), and helping with posing. And me? I’m behind the lens making sure the lighting hits just right to carve out the shadows, show off the curves, and create a photo that makes you say, “Damn, that’s me?”
Let me say it loud: Strength has nothing to do with size. Strength is showing up when it’s easier not to. It’s carving out time to take care of yourself. It’s standing in front of a camera, vulnerable and proud, saying, “This is who I am.”
Of course, I’m not gonna lie—some of you ladies do have muscles that make my jaw drop. But even then, it’s not just the muscle. It’s the story behind it. The effort, the time. Moments no one saw but you.
And the beautiful thing is, that power shows up in different ways. Sometimes it’s in a pull-up pose, highlighting your back and lats in a way you’ve never seen. Maybe it’s the way your triceps pop in a downward push pose. One of my favorite moments is always showing clients their back muscles for the first time. That “WOW!” reaction? Gets me every time.
I hear this one all the time: “I want to do a session, but I’m not there yet.”
But here’s the thing—FitForMe isn’t about reaching some mythical end goal. It’s about **celebrating the **now. Maybe you’ve lost weight. Maybe you can finally lift 25s instead of 15s. Or, maybe your wins are quiet—like carrying every grocery bag in one trip (yes, queen!). Whatever your milestone is, it matters.
Plus, these sessions give you a way to see your progress. Come back in six months and let’s shoot again. That side-by-side? Worth it.
And let’s not forget the power of a badass gym headshot. Not every portrait has to be on a gray backdrop in a suit. You can look fierce in your Nikes, dripping in sweat and pride.
Sessions are 20 minutes long. They’re fast, fun, and focused. We’ll guide you through a series of poses based on what you want to showcase. We bring the oil, the fan, the tunes, the hype, and the lighting setup that highlights every curve and shadow just right.
Pro tip? Wearing black really amps up the vibe and gives the shadows extra punch.
This year, we’re offering a Partner Add-On for $50.
Want to split the 20-minute session with your spouse who also crushes it in the gym? Maybe both of you want solo photos, or you want to hop in a few together. This add-on gives you the flexibility to share your time however you want.
Or maybe you’re doing our Mommy & Me twist on the session (which we brought back because it was such a hit last year). This add-on works there too! Now Dad can join in, or you can do a combo of Mommy + Me and just you, or whatever version makes sense.
Important side note (and we mean this in the most loving way): These are not your sit-and-smile family portraits. My lighting setup is custom for one person at a time, designed to create those deep shadows and defined muscle highlights. So while you can do a few together, don’t expect a traditional “Christmas card photo” vibe. This is sweat, strength, and a little sass.
Another update for 2025: We’re now opening FitForMe sessions to the public! While we started at Burn Boot Camp Oconomowoc, we know so many amazing women in the area who are crushing their fitness goals elsewhere. This experience is now yours too.
You spend countless hours in the gym. Waking up early, push through the hard days, show up even when no one is watching. You deserve to see the strength you’ve built, inside and out.
So go ahead. Book the shoot. Reward yourself. Let us hype you up.
Because strong looks different on everyone.
And your version? It’s worth capturing.

Some moments deserve to be celebrated with more than just a passing glance in the mirror. They deserve to be documented, to be frozen in time as a reminder of the strength, resilience, and confidence that got you here.
That’s exactly what the FitForMe™ Milestone Session is all about—capturing the raw power and beauty of YOUR journey.
This isn’t just about flexing in front of the camera. It’s about capturing the dedication, the sweat, the growth, and the confidence that comes with committing to yourself. Whether you’re celebrating a fitness transformation, a personal milestone, or just wanting to feel like a total badass, this session is for YOU.
Your journey is worth more than a before-and-after post. It deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered. Let’s create something that makes you say, “Damn, I did that.”
