Sports Photography-Action

There’s nothing I love more than being in the middle of all the action.

Capturing some of the best athletes in Texas and the nation is something I would not trade for the world. Sports are poetry in motion, and the opportunity I was given to not only showcase that for my school’s team but teams across the state has truly been a blessing. The rawness, the physicality and the story to be told in between it all is what I live for and what I try to show in my work.
