Thru the Ville 5K

The final leg of the Mayor’s Mayorthon Series was a perfect morning for running! It was amazing to see so many great runners out there on both two and four legs.

Congratulations to everyone out there whether you broke the ribbon, set a personal PR, or just took on those six crazy hills. What an outstanding day for running.

I am posting a few of my favorite edited photos here, but you can find the rest of the gallery by clicking the link in my bio.

Last night marked the final Friday night lights for many of our Providence Pioneers football players and cheerleaders. Watching this group grow, lead, and give their all to the program has been an absolute privilege. The dedication and resilience of these seniors is incredibly impressive, and the impact they have made goes far beyond the field.

Thank you, seniors, for your unmatched hard work and for being such phenomenal role models. Through your actions, you have actively helped to shape the future generations of Pioneers who look up to you. You have set the bar high, shown everyone what true Pioneer spirit looks like, and proven that leadership is about how you show up for each other every single day.

Good luck to the Pioneers at Sectionals this Friday night!

There is nothing quite like the energy of Friday night lights. I have loved capturing the grit, heart, and dedication of these athletes from the sidelines all season long. Sending a huge shoutout to the players and the cheerleaders as they take the field for postseason action.

I spent Saturday morning out at Crawford County capturing the grit and determination at the IHSAA Sectionals! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️✨

That course is famously tough, but these runners left absolutely everything out there.

The boys team narrowly missed a team advancement by just one spot; however, it was an incredible day for individual milestones!

Massive congratulations to the four boys and three girls who punched their tickets to Regionals! 🎉

On top of the qualifiers, seeing so many athletes crush their personal records and season bests on a challenging course like this was amazing to witness. 📸

Good luck to all the regional qualifiers as they keep the postseason journey going! Blue Pride! 💙

The final whistle has blown on the regular season! 🏈✨

Huge thank you to the Providence Pioneers football team and cheerleaders for letting me roam the sidelines and capture the action all season long. Crossing the river to Louisville for the regular-season finale at W.E.B. DuBois was the perfect backdrop to close out this chapter. 📸

Swipe through to see some of my favorite edited shots from Friday night! Mother Nature definitely delivered! The stunning cotton candy sunset made pink accents on the cheer uniforms pop perfectly. 🎀

Best of luck to the Pioneers as they head into the postseason! Let's go, Big Blue! 💙

🎓 CLASS OF 2026 🎓

I want to say a massive congratulations to Our Lady of Providence Pioneers graduating class of 2026!

I only started photographing these student-athletes in February of this year, but they immediately welcomed me into their world. In just a few short months, these seniors allowed me to capture some truly spectacular moments on the field.

But what is even more amazing is who they are off the field. This 2026 graduating class is something truly special. They are kind, driven, and full of incredible character.

While taking photos at a graduation ceremony is a first for me, I felt incredibly honored to capture these milestone moments with the seniors and their beautiful families. Thank you for letting me tell a small part of your story.

Pioneer family, please join me in wishing the Class of 2026 the absolute best in their next chapters! 💙🤍
