My Lululemon Ambassador Photo Shoot

Remember last month when the lovely Lululemon ladies surprised me by asking me to be their run ambassador?! Well the role of ambassador comes with a stiff requirement….

You have to participate in a photo shoot!! I have been looking forward to this shoot for a few weeks now – pretty much since the day that Dee mentioned it to me. The Lululemon store works with a great local photographer, Sarah, and I was so excited to see how she was going to catch all my running moves. ;) We set up a time that worked for is all, and planned out the shoot! I was able to try on a couple different outfits before the photo shoot, and 2 different ones were picked for me to run around in.

I ended up in the black speed shorts, with the blue and pink swifty tech racerback tanks to go with them. The speed shorts are crazy comfy, and the tank feels like it is barely there – ideal for Florida summers!

Pretty much all I had to do was what I do best… Run! We were out on Bayshore, my favorite running route, right around rush hour. There were tons of other people out exercising, so it did get tricky as we had to wait for the perfect moment so that no one else was in the photos.

We were out there for about an hour, and Sarah was able to get some amazing photos! I can’t wait to see which one they choose to display in the store!! Thanks so much Dee for handling all the logistics! You are amazing!!

Has anyone else ever participated in a photo shoot? Would you ever want to?

    That is so cool! My cousin is a photographer, so she did a photo shoot of me in running, biking, and swimming gear to help build her portfolio. It was fun!

    Yay! I can’t wait to see how they turn out. Plus, I’ll feel famous by proxy when I walk into the Hyde Park store and see your photos!

    I really feel like a running photo shoot featuring me would turn out so awkward. I don’t think I’m very photogenic while running. Ha.

    Awesome! Can’t wait to see how the pics turn out! I’m working on some weight loss/fitness goals right now and my photographer friend says when I’m ready, she’ll do a photo shoot. Love having that goal to look forward to!

    So awesome! I would love to do a running photo shoot (and the lulu ambassador gig is so neat too, Mary!)…I often think about photos in my head for a “Rave Run” submission to Runner’s World in particularly beautiful areas of the Rockies where I sometimes run! Looked like a blast; thanks for sharing!

    Your photo shoot looks like it was so much fun! I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. I am so jealous–I would love to be a lulu ambassador.

    Think they’ll let you post some of your photos to the blog? It would be fun to see how they turned out.
