Sports Photographer ~ MVHS Varsity Softball

Did the 2013 Varsity Softball team pictures for Murrieta Valley High School...these girls aren't messing around...they're ready to get out there...

Oran {action shots} - family photographer

does the time fly by for you???
well the past three years seemed to fly by incredibly fast!
It was just three years ago that I was taking pictures of Oran's brother for his BarMitzvah...and their mom saying...now you know in three years we will be doing this again...
AND HERE WE ARE!
I spent a little time this weekend after all the rain the week before, with Oran taking some portrait and action shots for the display at his BarMitzvah coming up this weekend.
I brought my secret weapon with me to help me out (my Trevor)! What a great time the boys had just playing some ball...
Here's some of my favorites from our shoot...

more of the actual BarMitzvah will be coming next week!

MVHS 2012 {JV} vs GO Softball - sports photography

spent a little time taking pics of the JV softball team in action today...
this picture was right after the running catch...I had the catch in my sites...and the coach from the other team stepped into my line of sight...ugh...but oh well
I wanted to brag about this little gal...she was a busy one today.
I even believe she's a freshman...one reason I believe this is because when she was up to bat the other girls would do a cheer calling her Freshman...haha

anyway...so great hustle out there today ladies...you did a great job!

Vista Women's {Waterpolo} ~ sports photography

Ok...been holding onto these so I didn't ruin the surprise
But these are the gifts for the outgoing Seniors on the Varsity team and they are going to have their banquet in a few days...so figure it's safe now :)

these ladies were incredible to watch...
enjoy!

Freshman Softball {MVHS} - sports photography

Now the freshman...always so exciting for the new girls' first home game as high school softball players...I just love the enthusiasm!
And our girls won this one too...too many to not a lot...
but it just meant that all the girls got to play!
Here are a few of my favorites!

softball is a dangerous sport! everyone had to duck! and the ball was headed right at me! No camera equipment was injured during this game!

catch that ended the game...

one happy girl...that smile is priceless!

Varsity Girls Softball {MVHS} - sports photography

Here's a few of my favorites from yesterday's game
Our girls won 5-2

catch was awesome...

It was Holly Hinkle Hugs Day!!!! Logan didn't mind at all!!!

MVHS 2012 {freshman} Softball - sports photography

Can't wait to see what these new Nighthawk players have on the field!

MVHS 2012 {JV} Softball - sports photography

Once again...spring time...and it's time for some SOFTBALL!
The ladies are ready to play some ball!
It is always fun to take pics of these amazing young women...
Starting off...is the Junior Varsity team...

VMHS Women's {waterpolo} ~ sports photography

My friend Stacie contacted me a couple weeks back to work on a little project for some of the girls on her daughter's water polo team...I was very excited because I had never photographed water polo...so this was going to be fun and interesting...
Well let me tell you...
These ladies were BEASTS!
I was blown away by their strength...talk about multi tasking...
Just the fact that they didn't drown was amazing to me because I would definitely be being rescued! Football players have nothing on these girls!
I won't spill the surprise for the ladies that I'm doing a special project for but did want to share a couple of Stacie's daughter and my friend Kellie's daughter who is also on the team...both of the girls out of the pool are so amazingly beautiful young women...but it's amazing they rock it on the Varsity water polo team like they do!
enjoy...

this is Logan's angry face! lol

will post more of the other ladies once they get them...

Nighthawk Softball

Here's a team that prays together...what an amazing group of young women!
more to come this 2011 season from the Lady Nighthawks Softball teams!

Austin B. ~ Senior Portraits

What an awesome young man Austin is!
It was so great to spend some time with him while I was in Vegas.
We hopped fences ~ trapsed all over his school ~ then spent some time in a not so great part of town (lol) and then went on over to Fremont St.
Got lots of amazing shots...will post them as I have them done
**Update**
Here are the pictures that Austin's mom chose
So I wanted to post them...they turned out so great! enjoy...

Blue Dragon Soccer Action

Had fun with these little soccer players...
so much energy!

More Mohawk Football

These little guys play with BIG heart!
Had lots of fun as always!

bonus shot...this little guy had his eyes on the endzone with an 80 yard run...he got pushed out of bounds at the 5 yard line

and not to be forgotten...our little pal Kyle ~ he did a great job!

Kane's Senior Portraits

It's 10/10/10!
Just realized that...LOL

He was a great sport (no pun intended) today!
