I recently had the pleasure of working with Katie Bailey, a personal trainer whose new PT business radiates both strength and elegance. Katie’s vibe is a unique blend of feminine energy and a powerful mindset – a combination that’s ideal for motivating her clients. She’s someone who doesn’t just talk about strength; she embodies it.

Katie invited me to her home gym for this half-day session, and it was the perfect choice. Her gym, with its chic black walls and extensive workout kit, aligns perfectly with her brand. The space exudes the same bold energy Katie brings to her training – her commitment to creating a strong, stylish atmosphere for her clients.

Throughout the day, we captured a range of shots that showcase Katie’s expertise and the essence of her brand. She wanted her clients to see her in action, so we focused on movement shots with weights, resistance bands, and dumbbells, plus dynamic poses like squats and core work. These images radiate strength and will resonate with her clients who look to her for motivation and support.

But Katie’s brand is about more than just power; it’s about connection, too. So, in addition to the action shots, we took some relaxed headshots and portraits of her on the phone with clients – moments that capture her approachable side and dedication to her clients’ journey.

Katie’s already putting these images to great use in her business, sharing them across her social platforms and integrating them into her personalised client plans. If you’re looking for expert advice on strength training, nutrition, and fitness motivation I highly recommend checking out her Instagram @katieebailey_

Based in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire, she works both in-person with clients at her gym and provides customised monthly plans that bring her knowledge and encouragement to clients wherever they are.

It was inspiring to work with someone so passionate and knowledgeable. The powerful mix of strength and femininity Katie brings to her business truly shines through in her photos, and I’m thrilled to have helped her capture it!

Here are some of my favourite images from the day, capturing the essence of Katie’s approach: strong, approachable, and endlessly inspiring.

Capturing Strength and Style with Katie Bailey: A Photoshoot for a New Personal Training Business

11/14/2024

 I'm Krisztina,

Photographer, storyteller and founder of
Present Practices.


my approach

I work with  wellness brands, retreat leaders, founders and creatives who want more than a collection of beautiful photographs.

Together, we create imagery that reflects who you are, what you stand for and the experience you offer.

Because when people can see the person behind the business, connection becomes easier, trust grows faster and visibility feels far more natural.

The Portrait

Ways we can work together: 

Every experience is designed to create meaningful imagery that reflects your story, your work and your vision.

Working with Krisztina was an absolute treat, and I couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the results.

She captured the energy, intimacy and emotional depth of our retreat with extraordinary sensitivity. Her presence was calm, respectful and seamlessly integrated into the group, allowing for natural and powerful imagery — even in the most vulnerable moments.

The images now reflect the true spirit of our retreat and the leadership we hold within our community. They will be treasured for years to come.

"I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the results. I feel strong and beautifully represented. Like an art."

I was looking for imagery that reflected my work as a yoga teacher at professional level. The entire experience felt grounded and considered. Krisztina guided the session with so much clarity and I felt completely at ease.

These images now represent my teaching with confidence and depth. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From our very first conversation, I knew this would be more than a photoshoot. Krisztina approached the process as a true creative partner, helping me translate the evolution of my brand into imagery that felt aligned and intentional.

The final images elevated my online presence immediately. They communicate the depth, clarity and impact of my work in a way that feels distinctly me.

As my brand continues to evolve, I know she will be capturing each next chapter.
