I’ve been working with @gwpatriotfootball for 20 years now and always do something different for the seniors. True story … Coach Edwards and I started doing the “collegiate-style” schedule posters back in 2007 … we wanted something to set GWHS FOOTBALL apart. Each year brought a new theme and new look

Thus is just a glimpse of my shoot with the seniors. I was inspired by the @nflfocus shoot with the new draft selections, and since I’ve worked with many of this year’s seniors for 7 years or more I wanted something out of the football norm.

We did some cool field shots too but the guys had a good time getting their “senior photos” done!!

Let’s go Patriots! 💪😎🙌🏽

I’ve covered a lot of “ground” on the courts, fields, turf and sporting venues with some terrific young ladies and their sports. Celebrating all of the female athletes today on National Girls and Women in Sports Day! I’m thankful to have worked with some outstanding young ladies. I love working on location and creating memorable environment portraits for them. Let’s go ladies!!

Depth of Field / my scenes from the sidelines. I’m counting my work book project that I’ve been working on for 25 years … I’m hoping the next chapter ends with a trip to the CFB National Championship

… FNLs are t the same for me since this guy retired and isn’t playing anymore … to say I love football is an understatement 😆

Looking forward to the real opening of CFB tomorrow and the games I’ll cover this fall … let’s go son.

Depth of field. Football is back and it’s my favorite time of the year.

One of my favorite things has always been doing portraits with my girls and @bekahswitzer was always willing.

I remember this day like yesterday at my studio before dance class - no smoke or fog. No gels or bubbles - just a daughter and her dad.

On this day I’m thankful to God for her birth and all she’s brought to our family.

She’s such a wonderfully, willful and strong spirit. She’s definitely a Switzer and a perfect blend of her mother and me.

Happy birthday boo! I love you.
