All hands in. The 49ers build up for the season.
Braving California Winter for Teamwork
“I know when I have kids, when I’m older, I’m going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there’s really no ‘I’ in team.”
This winter, I braved the foggy California cold to photograph a season of football for the 49ers in the All Out Flag Football league in Bakersfield, CA. (Sorry east coast folks, foggy is as brutal as our winters tend to get.) This is a partnership with the NFL Play 60 initiative and it encourages boys & girls to play flag football. I have to say that this was a wonderful experience and all of the kids seemed to have so much fun getting out there. I witnessed so much good sportsmanship that it brought back a little hope for the future of our world.
All of these children had such great attitudes and a real love for football. I really love to catch the subtle moments of children whenever they forget that people are watching them. Sometimes you capture sweet moments, at others you find complete comedy. I'm looking forward to documenting the next season! If you have a young one who wants to play football, I highly suggest that you check this league out.
Let them eat cake too!
When minions attack!
I'm such a fan of (semi) candid photography where I can capture the true essence of the subjects. This weekend, we made time to do some family portraits & I believe the results were worth all the effort!

Even photographers can become overwhelmed & neglect to take photos. The most beautiful thing, however, is taking thirty minutes to get stunning results like this. It seems like only yesterday I was taking my eldest minion home from hospital and yet here we are, thirteen years later! (Please note her boss status as evident in this photo.)
This man is my absolute rock & encouraging partner. Without him, I'm not certain I would've started taking photos professionally. Clients: You can thank him!
Together, we make the perfect nerdy team!
