Rink Rat Snaps

Spent the weekend in Boston watching my girl do what she loves, while squeezing in a few college tours along the way.

Grateful for the opportunities she’s been given, and even more grateful that I get to tag along for the ride.

I left my camera home for Chamonix, but brought it this time and played around with some new editing techniques to give smelly hockey gear a little extra character.

Fun fact: college locker rooms don’t actually smell like youth hockey locker rooms. The slots behind the stalls are built-in drying systems to help keep gear fresh… which honestly feels revolutionary. 😂🏒

Can’t think of anything much better than natural lighting when taking action pictures.

Always love when I get to spend the day with T2 East 12U HOB.

Thank you coaches and families for having me out!

Not sure why my eye is drawn to this shot. Maybe Easton Baseball will like it too ⚾️

Which version catches your eye more?
👍 for Color
❤️ for Black & White

I’m partial to the B&W for its clean, timeless look, but I love how the color version brings the background play to life.

Same shot, two crops. Which one feels right?
❤️ for zoomed-in
👍 for pulled-back

Spent Sunday with the St. Clair Shores Youth Soccer League capturing the energy of their 3v3 tournament!
Between the sunshine, the smiles, and the soccer, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. ⚽📸

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Hockey season!!!

Just realized my last few posts were all in black and white. I promise, I take full color photos too. 🤦‍♀️😂

Baseball season is in full swing for these brothers, and lucky for them (and their parents) they get to play on the same team for the St. Clair Shores Baseball/Softball Association.

Their duty was to serve. Ours is to remember.
