Six competition days. A huge contingent of elite athletes. One unforgettable championship. The 2026 @worldninjaleague World Championship was everything I hoped for and more. Thank you @nomadic_hart_photo for bringing me on staff — and to @dgsninja & @ninjaworksco for making it all run smoothly. More new friends than I can count, and a sport I can't wait to shoot again.

On Day 3 of the 2025 @newbalance Nationals Indoor Track & Field Championships, my @nikonusa workhorses helped me track America's best high school athletes. Once again, pole vaulting provided the best line of sight to the high-flying superstars.

The @whitfieldsports 2026 Powder Puff Football Game was crazy-fun!! The Juniors gave the Seniors an early scare, but the Class of 2027 eventually prevailed.

Delivering compelling action shots to my clients is my passion. Shout-out to @whitfieldsports and @whitfieldwarriors for giving me the green light to create memories! Whitfield Senior Claire Stewart competes as their top tennis athlete!

Glancing back at my work from the 2025 Missouri State Swim Championships gets me hyped for this fall's high school sports in and around St. Louis. @peyton_dim18, thanks for the inspiration, young man!

Flashback to the summer of 2025 when the Hiro @aquatheater cast members performed a magical show that mixed dancing, water, and martial arts on our @royalcaribbean cruise.
