Photography Samples

This photo was taken at a UTC softball game where my assigment was for my photojournalism class. I was told to attend a sporting event and capture the small moments within the game. Scottie Swafford, father of one of the team members, caught my eye because of the inspirational support he constantly provided for his daughter during the game.

This photo is one that is very close to my heart because of the story behind it. I was walking around the North shore area in Chattanooga with my camera one day. And this stylish group of girls caught my attention. They all seemed to really connect and be having a fun day together. Their energy was infectious so I took their picture. Afterwards, I walked up to them and asked them about their friendship. I clicked with them so well that we all keep in touch to this day.

This player's name is Sarah Cooke and she had a home run after this moment and I loved capturing the moment before the excitement.

This photo was taken for my photojournalism class. The assignment was to capture a moment during a sporting event that was visually interesting.  I loved this moment because it represented friendship between teammates. In the midst of the chaos and competition, there is still friendship and support from teammates.
