Shadowing Sporting KC's Creative Team
Ugh. It just feels so good to be home. I interned for Sporting KC for almost my entire college careet and just being back there, on the field for a gameday was just so natural for me. The crew over there got me to where I am today, but I don't think you can ever stop learning so I tagged along with their internal video production team to learn a little more about visual storytelling.
At Mizzou Soccer, I'm tasked with making the team look good and fun and to draw viewers in. And that's what Sporting KC's internal video team does: visual storytelling. So I tagged along, shooting the shooters, and the game, and it was so fun and low pressure to not have any specific job to be doing. Sam and Jake gave me so many tips, both technical and visual. Now I just have to decide how I'm going to take these tips and implement them with the girls this coming Fall.
But until then, enjoy some portrait lens match photos and the dinky, aimless video I put together, tagging along with Sam:
Spring Break 2017 - Chicago with my Besties
A waitress at a restaurant we went to said, "So how do you all know each other?" and Caitlyn said, "Oh we're all friends from college" and I almost threw up. We're so old now but this is my crew and we're going strong. Love 'em. Enjoy Chicago and these angel faces:

Mizzou Soccer 2017 Grads
My first year with Mizzou Soccer and with my graduate studies have come to an end! I'm so lucky to be with these girls and to have gotten to know them! The five 2017 seniors I had with the team are some of the best leaders I've gotten to know and I'm so excited to see where they make it in their new careers, graduate programs, and beyond! I also shot grad pics for a couple older Mizzou Soccer alums who completed their graduate programs and while I didn't get to know them very well off the field, I'm glad to be in the Mizzou Soccer family with them. We had a blast with everyone's shoots! Check them out:

Fourth of July - Family Photos
The Fourth is my second favorite holiday behind Christmas. I love the fireworks, I love the food, I love America, and I love wearing red, white, and blue.
Here is my Fourth with my family and below are family photos I took of my baby cousins, still in our USA garb. Enjoy:
Jason's Senior Photos
Jae is one of my day ones. We graduated high school together. We went to Mizzou together. We went to UMKC together. And now we're graduating together, again. I took his senior photos because he's one of my favorite friends. Jason Edward, I'm so proud of you and I love you much:
