Prepping for the World Championships in Japan means having pins ready to gift & trade! Fun fact; I designed this logo on a piece of paper back in 2015 when I was in Japan as a track & field camp counselor.
The pins are here!! Looking forward to gifting these at events.
Here’s my POV of what it looked like: #AllHoppedUp I love this team!!
CHRISTOFER TORIN WALKS IT OFF FOR THE SERIES WIN!!! #AllHoppedUp
One of my photo goals for this year is to do more portrait type work - and to actually post it. This athlete is extra special to me as I started coaching her in middle school, and now she’s off to college. 🥹
Started the morning covering an event on the Hollister Trail at Nike WHQ. Gotta find the light ‼️

How can anyone go to sleep at 2 am and still wake up at 7 am.. ya’ll scare me
I'm officially in mid season (photo) form - Next up USAs & World Championships!!
My photo challenge for the day; -Get an athlete with a Nike outfit -In action, without “making a face” -With a clean background -With the lights being highlighted Loved how the racket is perfectly lined up. Photos for USTA
Started to do some photos for USTA out here in the Portland area - Going to be a fun summer! I wanted a serve photo but not just any but one with; -Clean background (with the green) -Focused athlete (with one eye showing) -Tennis ball (with the logo) Result:
Great question! The remote was set in the same place, all day, at 1/2000 F5.6 ISO Auto And actually it got moved a little, so I had 30 seconds to "fix" & refocus it (without someone standing in) I think my guessimate focus worked!
Awesome photo! What were the settings in this particular photo?
Perhaps one of the most insane races i've ever captured. The kick & determination by Laros over the last 100 meters, truly impressive.
PHOTO FINISH IN THE BOWERMAN MILE! 😱 Niels Laros takes it over Yared Nuguse at the line. 📺: NBC & Peacock | #Pre50
I’ve taken so many images of @Melissajanae21 this season, this is one of my favorite shots. Congrats on the win, see you at USAs & Tokyo!
We’re not allowed to photograph on the grey, so I placed a remote camera for this head on angle (while I was on the inside track for reactions). Canon 1dxmk2 with a 70-200 F2.8
