Nick has been a photographer since the early nineties. He drew a lot of inspiration from his uncle, John Adams, who was a respected fashion and glamour photographer in the swinging 60s through to the 'big hair' 80s in London. His work can still be found in stock libraries in London with the popular resurgence of the retro culture. Nick himself started his career working on cruise ships where he met his wife, Lori (from Colombus Ohio). In 1994 Nick and Lori moved to England with the help of The Princes Trust (an excellent English Charity started by Prince Charles to help young people who wanted to start up in business). Nick set up 'Nick Adams Photography' in a rural market town called Maldon in Essex. During their stay in England, Lori and Nick got married and had their first child Max . In 1998 Lori, Nick and Max moved to Southwest Florida where Nick Adams Photography made a reappearance with better weather and the sandy beaches as a backdrop. Nick Lori and Max have made Southwest Florida their permanent home along with two additions to their family, Brooke and McKenna.

Watch Orangetheory Fitness in Ft. Myers do the “Harlem Shake”

Lori and I both go to Orangetheory Fitness in Fort Myers to work out. It’s a fantastic gym and I would highly recommend it to anyone  who is looking for something a little different. They offer a 60-minute workout session split into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training with heart rate monitors to track intensity and maximize metabolic burn. You have a trainer for each class that calls out the exercises and motivates you to keep you in “the orange zone”.  It’s a great concept and an inspiring place to workout.  The trainers are very passionate about what they do. On Sunday we went to a function at the gym where they were awarding the winners of a recent weight loss challenge.  Each male and female winner received a $500 check from Orangetheory. Another member and friendly face at the gym, George, who happens to own an excellent hair salon on Collage Parkway called ‘George John Salon‘  kindly donated a makeover at his salon for the winners.  We donated a makeover photo shoot for each of the winners (which we will post later). I am proud to say a wedding client from 2006, Jason was the male winner. Well done Jason! We also are very proud of our brother -in-law Tom, who lost 35lbs during the 6 week weight loss challenge.  You da man Tommy! While we were there, the studio manager, Amber, had planned to do a Harlem Shake and I volunteered to video it for them. The rest is history:) It was a lot of fun!  Beers, wine and Popz BBQ  provided by the hosts and Mike from Run Florida even gave an informative talk on the right kind of shoes.
