If a friend or family member seems to be struggling pick the 📱 up and give them a call! You’d be surprised how big of an impact a simple phone call can make ❤️

Fellas drop the tough exterior and stop thinking it makes you weak to seek help, you’re loved, you are needed and you deserve to be HAPPY!

Big things could be coming for Porter Photography. 📸⚾

Right now, I’m currently waiting on approval through MLB to hopefully become a photographer working with and for the West Michigan Whitecaps. Since I’m not currently a credentialed photographer, this process takes time, but it’s an opportunity I’m incredibly excited and grateful for.

Baseball photography has always interested me because of the emotion, energy, and moments you can capture in a split second. Even from the stands, I’ve been working hard to create photos that tell the story of the game and the atmosphere around it.

Here are a few shots I’ve already captured during Opening Day 2026 while attending as a fan. I’d love for everyone to check them out and support this journey as I continue pushing toward this goal.

This gallery features special moments from the Modified feature race with Ryan Newman and his daughter sharing the track together, along with exciting racing from the Limited Late Models, National Compact Series, and the return of the Mini Wedges.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night unforgettable. Photos are now live and available to view, purchase, and download directly from the gallery. Digital downloads are $4.95 each.

Check out the full gallery here and relive all the action from an incredible night at the track! 🏁📸

People see “$550 photoshoot” and think photographers pocket $550 dollars. 🤯
Here’s a realistic breakdown of where that actually goes 👇
Client pays: $550
• Put away 25% for taxes
$550 → $412.50
• Payment processing / transaction fee
$412.50 → $395.55
• SD cards (1–2 cards for a session, average cost)
~$65–$130
$395.55 → $330.55–$265.55
• Monthly business expenses split across sessions
(storage, gallery delivery, website, subscriptions, editing software, etc.)
~$50
$330.55–$265.55 → $280.55–$215.55
• Gas + travel to and from session
~$20–$40+ depending on location
$280.55–$215.55 → $260.55–$175.55
And that’s before:
• equipment upgrades/repairs 🛠
• camera bodies + lenses 📷
• computer + hard drives 💾
• insurance ✔️
• props/client closet 👗
• education 📚
• advertising 📢
• time spent shooting 🕑
• hours of editing 💻
• emailing, planning, culling, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, & a dozen other payless hours 💸
Photography is a business, not just “showing up and taking pictures.” I appreciate those who know the iceberg of backwork that goes on behind the scenes. ❤️🫶
