BarSculpt in Portland, Maine | Maine Pilates Studio

BarSculpt in Portland, Maine is an amazing, light-filled, inspiring space to workout in a way that is so satisfying and challenging! For a while now I’ve wanted to get more into the world of photographing local businesses and everything involved with them — the inner workings, the equipment and/or products, and, most importantly, the people. One of the genres I wanted to start with was fitness, which I took to include gyms, yoga studios, dance studios, and pilates studios, among others. I reached out to a few and was so happy that Leslie of BarSculpt was interested in bartering with me! BarSculpt was created by Leslie, the owner of the studio, and is now taught across the country — as she calls it, it is “Pilates Evolved” (and I can tell you from first-hand experience that it is INTENSE and so satisfying!). She had just moved into a new studio (right on Casco Street in Portland!) so it was the perfect time to get some photos both of the gorgeous, sun-drenched studio as well as her and some of her trainers! I got to spend the morning with these amazing ladies taking head shots, photos of the equipment, and, mostly, photos of them doin’ their BarSculpt thang! They got a workout during the shoot, that’s for sure. 🙂
