I have been a professional photographer for 15 years. Sports photography is my passion. There is just something about being a sports photographer that keeps me motivated to continue doing it day in and day out. The best part about it is no assignment is ever the same. I am willing to do what ever it takes to create visually compelling images to ft the needs of my clients. I got my start as a sports photographer working for the University of Notre Dame Athletic Department as one of their sports photographers from 2010 until 2014. Ever since I got into sports photography there is something about the atmosphere of sporting events I can’t just seem to get enough of. Whether it is the emotions of everyone at the event are special and I make it a point to include those in my story with my images.
