I often see and hear about functional fitness and wondered what it was.

Hallo Alex.  Had some fab photos done today.  I can t recommend Nick Gregan enough.  He has a brilliant studio and wonderful way with actors.  He made Kim feel really at ease [she was a bit trepidatious] and got some really good input from her.  Kim will be sending you the ones she and Nick chose for your delectation.   Please put him on your recommendation list.

But seriously guys my intention is to be honest and pass on my knowledge, one of the big things I say is don t take a chance with your career you might only get one chance to make the right impression. These photos can look great on the small screen but as soon as they are blown up to a normal size the quality starts to show.
