Too often you miss the ambience of the game and the excitement of the action when you are trying to concentrate on taking a picture. Let me take over the photography so you can sit back and just enjoy these special moments.
It can be very disappointing to spend so much effort on trying to capture the action of the big game only to find out that the quality of the pictures you take are not what you hoped for. I have the experience, skill, and equipment needed to produce images you’ll love.
I provide images and products that will allow you to savor the significant moments of the brief few years in your kids’ athletic career. Won’t it be fun to look back on these years and remember all the fun the family had at the games?
You miss the fun of the game because you were looking through the viewfinder of your camera

I will attend and photograph your sports event for a minimum of two hours (can be extended), starting at the time you designate. I will concentrate on your special athlete (or the entire team if you prefer) and capture all the special action and emotion of the event.
After the event I will produce a private, online gallery of images from the event for you to share with whomever you like. You will be able to order prints and other products, some of which are exclusive to private galleries, directly from this gallery at prices lower than those in my public galleries.
You will receive a $20.00 coupon toward your first purchase from your private gallery plus free shipping on orders over $50.00. Also you get a free design of a custom sports action portrait from your favorite photo in the gallery.
2 hours of event coverage with extra hours available in increments of 1 hour at $10.00 each.

FAQs
I already see you at a lot of games, why should I book you?
I do cover a lot of games, but mostly for the larger Traverse City schools and I try to capture as many of the athletes as I can, which means I don’t always get too many of any particular athlete. By booking me for your event I will concentrate on your favorite athlete to make sure there are as many images of them as possible, limited only by their playing time. And if you happen to be a fan or parent at one of the smaller area schools, this is the best way to get coverage for your team.
How do you decide which games to go to?
Obviously my first priority is to cover games I am booked for. If I am not booked, many factors go into my decision including weather, sport, expected competitiveness of the contest, travel distance, how many galleries I already have of the teams and/or sport involved, and just plain personal preference. I try to schedule my game attendance ahead of the season, but that schedule fluctuates as the season progresses. A client who books me will always take precedence over any other plans I have to attend an event.
If I book you, how long will it take to get my pictures?
My goal, if there are no extenuating circumstances, is to post your private gallery online within 24 hours of the completion of the event. Delivery times for orders from the gallery vary with the product chosen, but generally take between 7 and 10 days from when the product is ordered.
What is your area of coverage?
I generally try to stay within a 50 mile radius of my location in Traverse City. I will go beyond that distance for a travel charge of $.50 per round trip mile in excess of the first 100 round trip miles.
