A Collage

I have done a few coach's gifts this year for various teams which is a lot of fun. A parent for the Oak Hills boys soccer team contacted me about doing a collage for their coaches since it was the head coach's first year. It by far has been the most challenging collage I have done just because of the number of images. The collage is 16x20 and contains 27 images. Every player and coach is accounted for as well as a few group shots. Here is the collage - click on it to make it larger.

LaSalle At Oak Hills Soccer

A match-up between west side teams. A good size crowd showed up for both games. Some players from the Oak Hills girls soccer team showed up to support the team since they had the night off. Here are some images from the JV and Varsity games.

Even without a visible face I still like this image.

With the setting sun there were stripes of light on the field. I love how the head is in the light part.

Normally this player is in goal but with Senior night he played the field to let the other senior keeper have the goal.

A facial.

Setting up the defense for a corner.

A Wedding

Back in October I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding with Neysa again. What a great day and an amazing couple. I started out with the guys as they got ready and hung out before heading to the Church. Even though I was surrounded by Ohio State fans the entire time I had fun and we got along fine:) Thanks for allowing me to part of your special day. I wish both of you a lifetime of happiness.

Plan made, break!

The ring bearer wanted nothing to do with the grown-ups. He watched a show on dinosaurs.

The entire gang ready to break for the Church.

The groom got his bride a special gift which he gave to her before the wedding.

She came up behind him for their first look.

A little laughing during the ceremony when the priest sang them a song.

Their first dance as a married couple.

The warning look to be nice.

And he obeyed.

A cast did not slow this guy down from showing everyone his moves.

I voted today. Did you?

Yes, I am not good at that holding the camera out and taking a picture of yourself thing.

Indian Hill At Ursuline Academy Field Hockey

Another Senior night. A request came in and I was able to shuffle my schedule so I could make the game. I do remember getting my first bug bite of the season during the Varsity game. I put bug spray on my arms and around my ankles but did not think to get my hands. That bug was definitely on my hand for awhile but I got it during a quick stop in play. It was my shooting hand so I did not want to move it until I had a good chance of not missing anything. That bite itched for days! Just a couple images from the JV game followed by a few from the Varsity match-up.

It was getting pretty dark especially since there are no field lights. So I had to slow the shutter speed down which causes some blurring. I actually like this motion blur.

A poke save.

Anderson At Lakota East Volleyball

Some more volleyball. This time just the JV and Varsity games. Unfortunately not as big as crowd as last time but still great action. The Varsity match was definitely highly contested with momentum swinging back and forth between the teams. A few of my favorites from the matches:

A nice dig.

Splitting the block.

Another dig.
