You put in the time.
The early mornings. The endless sets. The pursuit of perfect.

Why not capture it at the highest level?

My on-water, strobe-lit photo shoots are designed to showcase waterskiing in a way rarely seen—dramatic, powerful, and completely unique to you.

This isn’t just a photo… it’s your sport, elevated.

DM me — available for travel to your home lake.

Jump day!

The Unicorns🦄 dedicated today to honing their jump skills 🕊
Multiple newbies braved the ramp and jumped for the first time‼️

🚨 Newbie @haileylynn06 distinguished herself by LANDING her 2ND JUMP EVER 🤯

Massive thanks to @t_vaio36skier and @avski3 for their coaching and imparting their knowledge on the new generation of jumpers 💞

Today was a magical day as unicorns graced the sky above @bellacqualake1 🌄

🚨NATIONALS RECAP🚨

The Unicorns🦄 had a blast at Nationals‼️ We were super stoked to compete at a national level and all the other schools from across the country did not disappoint🪅

This was our first time competing at Nationals in FOUR+ years😱
We have to offer major thanks to @thencwsa and @westcoastwaterski for affording us the opportunity to compete in this amazing sport at such a high level.

Our very own STATS (Tyler Nicholls) managed to place:
4th in Slalom🏅,
4th in Trick🏅,
4th overall🏅
(division 2)

The Unicorns🦄 have taken the trophy (...12th place, division 2) back to our home lake of @bellacqualake1 to celebrate our victory and catch the last bit of sun🌞 for skiing... 🚤

After 4 long years... ‼️the UNICORNS🦄 are going back to Nationals‼️
This is a massive accomplishment by the team and we are all honored to compete on a national level🇺🇲

However, there are significant financial challenges with traveling to Imperial Lakes, CA for Nationals. Food, gas, and hotels are all very expensive for our team and our budget is being stretched very, very thin.

📢ANY, and we mean ANY, amount of funding💸 you could donate to the team would go a long way to help us kill it at Nationals‼️

Please send all donations to the team treasurer's Venmo: @jgmic
Or scan the QR code.

We will not forgot your contributions as we step on to the podium at Nationals... 🏅
