📸 Saturday 2026 Diamond Nationals | World Karate Championship Photos Are LIVE! 💎
Saturday’s A/AA division photos have officially been edited and uploaded to my photography website! 🥋🔥

I spent most of my time in the main ballroom and didn’t make it around to as many of the other rings as I would’ve liked. That’s the downside of having so many rings spread out! I did my best to capture as much action as possible!

Next up: Finishing the rest of the Finale Show photos! 🏆💍
Thank you all for your patience and continued support! ❤️

📸 Link is in the comments! ☺️

I’m still working my way through the regular A/AA divisions from Saturday, along with the rest of the Finale Show photos! There are SO many amazing moments to go through, and I can’t wait to share more of them with everyone!

On a personal note, recovery from my right hip surgeries is going well! ❤️‍🩹 I’m slowly making progress while keeping myself busy editing photos between resting and recovering!

Thank you all for your patience and support! I absolutely love capturing these moments for our sport karate community! ❤️

🏡❤️ Finally HOME from the hospital!
Both surgeries went great, and I exceeded expectations and got discharged a day early! 💪😂

Now it’s time for lots of rest and recovery!

Just to clarify, these surgeries were NOT caused by Diamond Nationals or competing! I was diagnosed with a labral tear and hip dysplasia last year, and these surgeries have been planned for quite some time. 😊

📸 I’m planning to start editing my Diamond Nationals photos tomorrow and hopefully get some posts out soon! Thank you all for your patience!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who sent healing vibes, prayers, and sweet messages my way. I appreciate you all more than you know! ❤️💕

📸 PHOTO UPDATE ~ Diamond Nationals
I’m still hard at work editing photos from Saturday’s competition and the Diamond Nationals Finale Show!

There may be a slight delay in getting the remaining photos uploaded, as I’ll be undergoing hip surgery Tuesday morning and spending a couple of days in the hospital.

Once I’m home and recovering, I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on editing and get those photos out to everyone!

Thank you all so much for your continued support, patience, and understanding! I can’t wait to share the rest of the amazing moments captured throughout the weekend! ❤️📸🥋
