What can I say about Barry’s Bootcamp?? I am not a fan; I’m obsessed. I’ll admit, I was a late joiner to Barry’s Bootcamp. I took my first class in 2023 and never looked back. Which is why I was SO excited to photograph Barry’s Bootcamp Venice location’s 6th anniversary!

Barry’s Bootcamp was born in the West Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1998. However, it took until 2017 for the brand to expand to the nearby neighborhood of Venice Beach! The Venice location is amazing. It’s spacious, clean, and has some of the nicest staff!

The Venice studio goes all out!

In celebration of the Venice location turning 6, the studio went all out. Classes featured a live DJ and the energy was incredible! Barry’s is known for its amazing instructors and playlists that make each class energetic and fun (even when you feel like you’re dying) but having a live DJ in class was next level. The studio also catered Sweetgreens lunches for participants. Later on, Nocco sponsored the event and energy drink shots were passed around halfway through class as a fun surprise for participants! After class, everyone enjoyed lunch, Nocco beverages, and of course, Fuel Bar smoothies!

Finally, the most exciting part of the event: Barry’s Bootcamp Venice hosted complimentary B-12 shots from Modwella! B-12 supplements assist in recovery and energy. There was a registered nurse on site giving free B-12 injections and people lined up to receive them! Venice is known for many things, including having a high population of health freaks, and it was so much fun moving our bodies together and celebrating an incredible studio. It’s so fun getting to build community while doing something nice for your body.

I had so much fun capturing event photography at Openaire for this company’s holiday party! I’ve previously worked with this amazing company several time to capture events for their team and they never disappoint! Whenever they get together, everyone is always ready to party as hard as they work. It’s amazing to see such a fun and inclusive group come together to celebrate a job well done.

The team rented out Openaire restaurant, which is a swanky and modern greenhouse event space at the Line Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. I love this event space because it offers a cozy but elevated space for smaller parties. I’m particularly partial to all of the hanging greenery in the greenhouse inspired space! It certainly adds a fun dimension to photos.

The company’s event coordinator went all out! Firstly, attendees enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres, amazing cocktails, and a delicious buffet style dinner. Afterwards, for entertainment, there was a tarot reader to predict New Years fortunes. Meanwhile, guests enjoyed a 360 degree interactive photo booth with props! Guests wore formal attire to kick off the new year and to celebrate an amazing close to the 2022 business year. It was so fun seeing all of the teams mingling and having so much fun together! Later on, the night kicked off with dancing! Eventually some were even brave enough to break out the dance moves!

I absolutely love a close-knit team. One of the many reasons I love working with this company is how positive and supportive everyone is towards one another. Team work makes the dream work! Might as well have fun while you’re doing it!
