Whew! the Argonaut vs. Bret Harte Division 5 Championship game was crazy! Triple overtime and the crowd was on fire. Bret Harte won at the wire over Argonaut to claim the Championship pennant.

Congratulations to both teams for an incredible game well worthy of Golden 1 Center and home of the Sacramento Kings.

Photos will be up on MaxPreps in a day or two

02/27/2026

Back at Golden 1 Center this Friday and Saturday, February 27–28, covering the CIF SJS Section Finals.

Here are a few images from last year’s finals — the energy in that building is always next level.

I’ll be posting small highlight galleries on MaxPreps, but if you want guaranteed coverage of your athlete, reach out before game time to arrange targeted coverage. Pre-booking ensures your player gets dedicated attention and a full gallery.

Spots are limited each night. Message me to reserve coverage.

Like father, like daughter! Elite Jet Ski racer (first photo) with his awesome daughter (following photos) shredding this weekend. Love to see youth riders.

There was lots of wind making the January day extra chilly (and riding conditions extra rough!), so this youngster showed her fortitude putting in lap after lap on the course.

No matter the activity, strong fundamentals build confidence, consistency, and better performance.

That applies across sports, equestrian disciplines, and working or competitive dog sports, where success depends on preparation, repetition, and trust. It also applies to photography. The moments you see shared are captured because the fundamentals were practiced long before the moment unfolded.

Strong foundations show up when pressure is high, whether in competition, at work, or behind the camera.

Sharpen your fundamentals; highlight your efforts. Great moments are worth remembering.

There’s something compelling about a quiet moment. This high-key black and white photograph highlights expression and a beautiful eye without distraction and has the feel of a sketch rather than a photograph.

It’s the Year of the Horse, and it’s going to be a great one. In addition to traditional sports photography, I also photograph equines and canines. I create both action images and portraits.

01/02/2026

Introducing portrait + competition coverage — combining character-driven portraits with focused competition-day action.

Introductory pricing is available when booked by January 31.
Session dates are flexible and do not need to be completed by then.

This year, resolve to capture the moment — even if all you have is your phone.

Photos don’t just show what happened. They become visual anchors for memory later: the feeling of the day, who was there, and why it mattered. A quick snapshot today can mean far more than you expect years from now.

Perfection isn’t the goal. Presence is.
And having something to look back on makes all the difference.

Some moments happen when the noise fades a bit.

The focus before competition.
The way an athlete carries themselves.
The quiet confidence that doesn’t need a crowd.

I’ll be sharing something new soon — still honest, still athlete-centered, just another way of telling the story.
