Hot one today - Tennis this morning for US Tennis PNW Soccer this afternoon for RedBull

An impressive 21,811 fans (NWSL match attendance record) showed up yesterday for the rivalry game against the Seattle Reign with temperature reaching nearly 100 degrees. ⁣ What’s also impressive is;⁣ I did not melt, my gear did not overheat, and I’m not sunburnt.⁣

Spent the morning with Nike x i9 Sports on their marketing/branding. Nothing posed. No hair, make up, or models. Just let kids, be kids!

Travis Kelce got that Jonathan Gault BU Media Vest fit

LPGA x Sports Bra x Click Clack had me out for an afternoon at the Portland Classic, the oldest continuous event on the LPGA Tour Also got to use the RF1.4x on my Canon 100-300 F2.8 (making it into a 140-420 F4) I’ve had it for awhile, it’s a decent teleconverter for the price

Yes - I got the shots Yes - I got soaked Yes - it's all worth it Canon 16-35 F2.8 on a Canon R5mk2

The other team photog got the side angle! You can clearly see me smiling & enjoying every bit of the celebration with this team.

Track athletes so disrespected and forgotten - we didn’t get mentioned in the video of being forgotten 🫩

Perhaps one of the craziest shots I’ve come up with - No, this isn’t photoshopped, this isn’t a double exposure, or AI, no filter either - this was done all in camera. I take a lot of pride to get things done right in camera. Photos for US Tennis Association PNW

I was in the lobby, behind the glass, behind the trash cans, using the reflection off of the vending machine.

Also. This is our local tennis center, not some crazy arena... This is the 40+ over age group (not pros) It. Doesn't. Matter. You can still be creative at every level, at every opportunity.

Honestly, I don't need to watch the Diamond League for updates when I have my people Alice shelly ClubIngebrigtsen Alex Predhome, Track and Field Enjoyer David M Chris Chavez hitting my TL with the result information. So Vernon Norwood, right?

Wrapped up another season as the Hillsboro Hops team photographer! This season was extra meaningful to me, I pushed myself really hard to create fun & memorable images. Some of my fav images from yesterday's final game A big thank you to the front office & team for the support!

Also they had EVERYONE RUN THE BASES - So I did it. With the full photo gear on ☠️ Not many had faith I could get around in under 25. Ouch.
