🏁BEHIND THE HELMET MONDAY🏁
—
This week, we’re going Behind the Helmet with Shawn Harper Sr., driver of the #20 “The Pink Pony Club😂” kart!🩷🏁

Shawn competes in Clone 350 and has been racing for 6 years, with 2020 marking his rookie season. Since then, he’s racked up an impressive 14 wins!🏆

When he’s not behind the wheel of the Pink Pony😂, Shawn enjoys spending time with family and friends and works for EcoLawn doing landscaping. 🌱

Six years, 14 wins, and now officially a member of The Pink Pony Club — what more could you ask for?😂🏁📸

🏁Sometimes You Have to Enjoy the Moment, Too📸
—
Last night I made the trip to Jennerstown Speedway Complex LLC, and to say I had fun would be an understatement!

I got to meet some awesome drivers and crews, including the incredibly welcoming Ohio Wheelman Series and Motor Mountain Masters crews. I also had the opportunity to meet Brandon Freeman from Left Turn Photo Works.

As photographers, we get so focused on capturing the action that sometimes we forget to enjoy the little moments in between. Thanks to Brandon, I was reminded of that last night! He showed me photo spots I never would’ve thought of, shared some knowledge, made me laugh, and even captured some amazing photos of me doing what I love — serious RBF and all.😂📸

Photography can be competitive, but at the end of the day, we’re all standing on the other side of that fence for the same reason: we love racing.

Whether it’s dirt or asphalt, take the pictures, make the connections, learn from each other, laugh a little, and live in the moment.🏁

A huge thank you to Brandon for the photos, laughs, advice, and for making my first time photographing at Jennerstown one I won’t forget!

Well, today has been absolutely amazing!🏁📸

For the first time in 4 YEARS, I made my way back to Jennerstown Speedway Complex LLC—but this time was a little different. This was actually my first time ever being here as a photographer! 📸

I definitely don’t plan on waiting another four years to come back either!😂 I’m going to try to make this a yearly trip from now on.

The staff has been incredible, the other photographers have been awesome, and I’ve gotten the chance to make some new connections while getting my first experience shooting at Jennerstown.

I absolutely LOVE dirt racing, but asphalt is a whole different animal—and getting the opportunity to photograph it has been a blast!🔥

I even got to meet up with some family while I was here, which made the day that much better.

Great racing, great people, new connections, family, and a camera in my hands… I’d say today was a pretty dang good day!🏁💜

📸PHOTO ORDER UPDATE!
—
I know the photos from Flat Run 8/22/2026 were uploaded a little later than usual, and I apologize for the delay!

I’ll be out of town this Saturday visiting family and making a trip to Jennerstown Speedway—a track I haven’t been to in 4 years!🏁

While I’m away, Tyler will be bringing all photo orders placed today through tomorrow at 12 PM (noon) to Flat Run on Saturday.

💵If you still owe money for your order, please have it in an envelope with your name on it so I can make sure every order and payment is accounted for.

Thank you all for your patience, your orders, and for continuing to support Neon Nights Photography!💜📸

Someone made a 2-hour trip to come visit me on this rainy Sunday and, of course, talk all things racing & photography!🏁📸

Any guesses who it might be?👀

I’ll give you ONE hint…

“WOAH…”🤯

Looks like I’ll be making a trip to Stateline Speedway soon for a little change of pace! 🏁 Might be time to venture outside my usual tracks and see what Stateline has to offer.👀📸

📸Today I had the opportunity to do something completely out of left field… and I LOVED it!🖤🔥

A mom reached out wanting to do something a little unheard of for her stepdaughter’s senior photos. She wanted to embrace the tomboy side of her and create a session that actually felt like her.

From old, beat-up cars to welding in a junkyard—I was ALL FOR IT!🤘🔥

As photographers, I think sometimes we get so focused on what the industry standard is or what a senior session is “supposed” to look like that we lose sight of what truly matters—our clients and their vision.

It’s not every day you get to photograph a senior in a junkyard, let alone someone actually welding, and it was an absolute blast!

I’m still editing, but I had to share a little sneak peek because this session was the perfect reminder:

Your senior photos don’t have to look like everyone else’s. They should look like YOU!💜

Have a crazy idea? Tell me. The more outlandish, the better.📸🔥

A special thank you to Novey Recycling Inc. for allowing us to use their property for this amazing session!🤩
