Sports, sports, and more sports!


We're branching out to new markets! We are starting a new business to serve a new market for which we have a lot of experience, the sports market. When I first got out of photography school I started out in the Public Relations department at Gettysburg College and I had the opportunity to work with one of the legends in Division III sports information, Robert Kenworthy. He gave me the opportunity to photograph all the sports at Gettysburg College while I was there, and shortly thereafter had me do all the photography for the football program and press releases. I have kept that job providing the team and player photos for the football program for 19 years, even though I am now almost 3 hours away.We have been photographing other teams and posed player photos since then and have recently decided to take on more of that type of work. Along with the standard posed photographs, we have been photographing action, as well, which is where I began my career. With all the technological advances in the cameras and lenses, it is quite enjoyable to do this.
The photos attached are some I took of my boys, Connor and Brock. Connor really began to blossom this year into a good pole-vaulter, taking 4th place in the Junior High Berks County Championships. Brock is shown here digging for first after the game-winning RBI single.(or so I will have you believe...)
We have a brand new way of working with leagues that is stress-free for the organizers, and also enables parents to see the photos of their children first before purchasing. The benefits don't end there, so if you are involved in a youth sports league and are looking to make a change to something better than what is there, please give us a call to discuss how we can make youth sports photography something much better than it is currently.
