Absolutely!
I'm a certified Independent Contractor for Academy School District 20 (D20) and for Pueblo School District 70.

Would you consider additional deals on packages?
Absolutely!
I already offer discounts when you purchase 3 or 5 pictures for download. Feel free to contact me to discuss other options that might better fit your needs.
Can I have all the RAW pictures you take during an event?
Nope!
I do not provide all the RAW, unedited pictures I take. Trust me, you don't want all of them! At a typical sporting event, I may shoot 1000 to 2000 pictures and then cull for quality. I typically keep only about 10%-15% of the photos I shoot. Those are then edited in professional software to enhance lighting, contrast, sharpness and color. All photos are delivered in JPEG format.
If I purchase game coverage or season coverage, how many images do I receive?
This varies greatly.
I do not cap this at a set upper limit, I believe in giving you as many great images as I possibly can. On average I will deliver at least 20 images for a single player and at least 100 images if covering a team. Too many times, I can't decide which ones I like the most so galleries tend to be much larger than those minimums!
When will the photos be available after each event?
I aim to complete editing of photos and posting them to galleries and social media within 48 hours after an event.
Are the images watermarked?
The images you purchase are free of watermarks. Any watermarks present in gallery images are automatically removed upon purchase.
Are you insured?
I sure am! I have public liability and professional indemnity.
How experienced are you?
Great question! I started in sports photography on the yearbook and newspaper staffs in high school shooting film and honing my skill in the darkroom. Next, I continued shooting in college at USC. Most recently, I started shooting freelance for CHSAA and Maxpreps in 2020. I typically shoot over 150 sporting events in a school year.
