Sports Investment & Information
I became a photographer through sports.
In 2019, I picked up a camera and began photographing junior high basketball and soccer as a hobby. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to get my second bachelor's in photographic arts from The University of Central Oklahoma. Today, I'm photographing a lot more sports with a lot more knowledge, skill, confidence, and experience.
I've received numerous awards from my sports work, including from the Oklahoma Collegiate Media Association and Oklahoma Press Association.
I approach sports photography through a photojournalism lens: I capture images containing action, reaction, emotion, and candids. My skill and experience through photojournalism allows me to search for the signs of big moments, small moments the audience isn't looking at, and capturing them in the most authentic style as I can.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING
- NOTHING IS GUARANTEED. I do my very best to capture at least one picture of every athlete, whether they are playing the sport or supporting from the sidelines. However, I cannot guarantee anything because that isn't realistic in the world of sports, given the nature of how a game can unfold. With that being said, I try to get a bit of everything happening. I normally capture a wide variety of images of the athletes from the beginning of the game to the end, whether it's a single candid portrait or in a candid group photo.
- You may book as many game(s) as you wish, depending on my availability. The sooner you book, the better the chances of availability. There is a travel fee if the game is located outside of Pittsburg County (does not include Kiowa/Stuart). The fee varies on the location of the game.
- Please make sure that coaches/school officials approve and are okay with me being there to photograph, being able to be on the sidelines to capture the best perspective, etc. I don't wish to cause any problems if a school official isn't okay with a photographer being there taking pictures.
- My entry fee to any sports event must be covered.
- All sports galleries are digital and will be available within 36 hours after the game. Once the gallery goes live, you will have the option to download the digitals for free and purchase prints, which will ship right to your door. Whoever "books" the game receives the direct link. The gallery is also available directly on the website under the 'clients' tab.
- Any junior high, high school, or collegiate sport can be booked. If there is a sport not listed that you wish to book, please fill out the contact form with your information.
- If you are interested in what a sports gallery typically looks like, please fill out the contact form and I will send you an example gallery. Please check out my sports portfolio as well.
PAYMENT INFORMATION
- Payment must be collected before the game begins. No exceptions.
- Suggestion: Parents are welcome to chip-in a small portion if they wish to help spread out the cost of a game. For example, for a basketball game, if every basketball parent contributes a minimum of $5 - $10 dollars, that would cover the cost of a game for you to sit back and enjoy watching your child play while photographs are being taken! Or if one parent wishes to make the payment themselves, that is fine as well.Please have this figured out before booking me.
- Accepted forms of payment are cash, Cash App, or Venmo. Checks from a booster club are also accepted. Personal checks will only be accepted if an official Oklahoma-issued driver's license is presented.
- Pricing (listed below) is subject to change at any time at my discretion.
