Powder Puff

Lakewood High held their annual powder puff football game recently and I was able to attend and photograph it. Although the game was very unorganized with a lot of delays, I was able to end the day with some nice action shots. I would have loved to get more shots of all of the players, but things just didn't work out that way, so with that said, here are some shots to share.

Kylie

This beautiful young lady is my son's girl friend and the second young lady I've had the opportunity to photograph senior portraits of. She is a very sweet girl and I truly enjoyed capturing these shots.

Are you ready for some T-Ball

It has been a very long time since I've photographed t-ball, and boy did I miss it. This is my roots, this is where I began photographing sports action and have been away from it for far too long.

I was talking to a good friend of mine, who photograph's sports action at the college level in the New York area and t-ball came up. Probably because I just got back from taking these pictures. Any hoot, part of the conversation went towards the lack of action at this level and age and let's face it, that's why most people get into photographing sports action, for the "ACTION". Well taking these shots really brought back some great memories and reminded me as to why I started shooting sports in the first place, for these little guys. And of course that goes for the little girls as well.

Now to the pictures. This young man is my nephew, well maybe not biologically, but his dad and I have been friends since the first grade and his kids call me uncle as my do him. So I look at them and him as part of my family. So once I found out he was playing t-ball I found out when he was playing and went out to get some shots of him.

So with all of that said, let me introduce "Daniel" to you.

I really liked both of the following shots for different reasons and really couldn't pick a favorite, so I'm posting both.

Can you say "Smile"?

Lakewood Track vs Cabrillow & Compton

The first league meet for track was against Cabrillo High and Compton High. Here are some highlights from the meet.

Here are two shots of my son throwing the shot put.

Amanda

Allow me to introduce Amanda to you. This young lady is a close friend of my son's and a friend of the family. She is my first young lady senior and would love to hear or see what you have to say. These were all done with natural light and the use of reflectors and portable shades.

Now for those who follow my sports action know that I love my 300 f/2.8 and pretty much use that for everything, well why should this be any different. I might be the only senior portrait photographer who uses a 300 to get his shots. Who knows, might start a new trend.
