Meadow’s Other Two Sports: Softball & Soccer ⚽🥎

As promised, here’s another look at Meadow’s athletic side! Along with basketball, she’s a soccer team co-captain and a two-time state champion in softball. That’s quite a list of accomplishments!

Meadow brings intelligence, athletic talent, and beauty to her senior portraits. But what makes her especially memorable is her kindness. She’s simply a really nice person, and spending time with her has been a pleasure.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed creating them. Thank you, Meadow, for choosing Gray’s Mountain Studio to help capture this exciting chapter of your life!

We’ve already shared her on-location session, but a few favorites haven’t made their Facebook debut yet. Watch for those in the next few days!

And a little studio milestone: we’re at 1,855 followers—just 45 away from 1,900! If you enjoy seeing our portraits and community coverage, please consider following our page. Already following? Invite a friend to join us. We appreciate your support! ❤️

Meadow Brings Her Game 🏀📸

Girls’ basketball season is fast approaching, and Meadow will once again be a player to watch! When we planned her senior portraits, basketball was high on her list—and she came ready.

With the lights set, camera ready, and final adjustments made, it was game on! Meadow brought the same confidence and determination to her portraits that she brings to the court. The result? Images with plenty of personality and Cardinal spirit.

This is the first of three posts from Meadow’s senior sessions. Coming next: images highlighting her soccer and softball interests, followed by her on-location portraits. There’s plenty more of Meadow’s story to share!

Think Meadow brought her game to these images? Like, heart, or comment on your favorite! ❤️

Emily 🐴📸
What a delight to work with Emily! This high school senior has a pretty interesting job—especially if you love horses. She works with Thoroughbred horses at the track. The horse she was photographed with escorts Thoroughbred horses to the track before the race. Her boss brought the horse to our session so we could photograph them together in a field. From the moment the horse stepped out of the trailer, it was clear these two shared a special bond.
Over the years, I’ve photographed seniors with dogs, cats, snakes, an iguana, a piglet, horses, cows, and goats. Each animal brings its own temperament and personality—and sometimes its own ideas about how the session should go! 😂
Including an animal that means something to you makes your senior portraits even more personal. Years from now, those photographs can bring back the friendships, interests, and everyday moments that made this chapter of life your own.
I like to think of them as reminders of those carefree high school days. Now, before someone mentions homework, tests, and deadlines—yes, I remember those, too! But with a few more years behind you, the good memories have a way of taking center stage. So, yep, I’m sticking with “carefree”! 😉
Thank you, Emily, for letting me capture this part of your story. Give her a ❤️ or leave a comment on your favorite image!

A while back, I shared two sneak peeks from Grayce’s studio session. Now it’s time to share more! Grayce looked completely at home on the set, bringing natural expressions and poses that felt relaxed, confident, and distinctly her own.

This session took me back. Fifteen or sixteen years ago, more than half of senior portraits combined studio and on-location. Thirty years ago, that number was closer to 90 percent! Working indoors lets me shape the light and choose backgrounds that keep attention where it belongs—on the person in front of the camera.

I love on-location sessions, too. Changing light and different surroundings bring their own creative challenges. But there’s something special about a studio portrait, where expression, lighting, and personality come together. Grayce’s images are a wonderful reminder of that.

Enjoy this collection, and give Grayce a thumbs-up, a heart, or a comment on your favorite image! ❤️

🏈🎶 Cardinal Stadium, Part 1: Friday Night Football at Pine Grove Area High School

There’s nothing quite like Friday night at Cardinal Stadium—the band sets the mood and brings the crowd to life!

I’m sharing the evening’s images in two parts, beginning with the PGAHS band’s pregame performance. The band was in the zone, filling the stadium with music, energy, and Cardinal pride. What a great way to kick off the night!

Enjoy these images, and give the band some love in the comments! Stay tuned for Part 2, featuring football and cheerleading. 📸

Boys’ Soccer in the Rain ⚽🌧️

Rain, rain, go away… No such luck for the Pine Grove Area Boys’ Soccer team on Homecoming weekend! But those rain clouds had a silver lining: a 3–1 win for the Cardinals!

The rain poured down at Cardinal Stadium, but it never dampened the team’s determination. The boys kept pushing and gave the Homecoming crowd a victory to celebrate.

The rented Sony 300mm lens delivered once again, and its rain cover worked perfectly. As I mentioned in the Girls’ Soccer post, my own rain protection wasn’t quite as successful—I ended up SOAKED! Better me than the lens, though. 😂

This wraps up my Homecoming coverage. Thank you for your patience while I finished these images! Fall keeps me busy photographing seniors, families, and children, then giving their portraits the finishing touches.

Enjoy the photos, and give the boys a thumbs-up, a heart, or a comment to celebrate their hard work and Homecoming win! 👏

An Afternoon in the Sun ☀️

I don’t often photograph in direct sunlight, but a field of goldenrod in full bloom was the perfect invitation to try something different. And Aaliyah was the perfect person to help bring the idea to life!

Aaliyah signed up to help us test our lighting as we were wrapping up our Invitational Sessions in late winter and early spring. For this outdoor session, the sunlight, location, and model came together just as I’d hoped.

A light cloud cover softened the sunshine, and the goldenrod’s rich yellow tones complemented Aaliyah’s hair and outfit beautifully. She brought a wonderful variety of expressions and poses, giving each image its own personality.

Sessions like this are why I enjoy experimenting. This lighting technique opens up new creative possibilities, and I’m excited to explore them further.

Thank you, Aaliyah, for helping me try something new! Take a look at her images and let me know which one catches your eye. 📸

Girls’ Soccer – Homecoming Weekend ⚽🌧️

And let the rain begin…

Sometimes the weather forecast misses the mark. This time, it was right on target! Rain—and LOTS of it—arrived at Cardinal Stadium just as the game got underway. Fans huddled beneath big umbrellas to cheer on their favorite players, while I headed to the sidelines with my Sony camera, rented 300mm lens, and a special rain cover for the equipment.

My Carhartt hooded jacket? That’s another story. It’s warm, but waterproof it is not! Apparently, it doubles as a sponge. 😂 I was so caught up in following the action that I barely noticed how soaked I’d become. By the end, I’m pretty sure I was carrying an extra five to ten pounds of rainwater!

The Sony 300mm lens handled its assignment beautifully. I used it for every image here, and the sharpness, quick autofocus, and ability to bring the action closer made photographing the game a real treat—even in that downpour.

A trip to Bass Pro Shops for proper rain gear may be in my future!

The best part? The Pine Grove girls brought home a win! 👏

Take a look at the photos and help give these athletes some encouragement. A like, a heart, or a comment cheering on your favorite player means a lot. These students put in the time and effort for the love of the game. Let’s show them their hard work is appreciated!
