never thought an entire NBA team would be wearing a shirt I designed, especially for something as important as this. basketball is back ‼️🥺❤️

plot twist! I’m staying in DC!
SO stoked to finally annouce that I’m joining
@WashingtonNFL
as a Content Designer!
Can’t wait to create again & to work with this INSANELY talented squad. ♥️
my high school guidance counselor told me that I’d never make it in sports & that I should go to college for something more practical (even tho he knew how bad I sucked at school)...
here’s to hitting the big 4 all before 24, thanks for the motivation Mr. A******* 😌
happy National Girls & Women in Sports day ❣️ we belong here.
so lucky to get to do what I love everyday & so thankful for all the amazing women I’ve met along the way ❤️
if a male photog cheering gets you this upset, you should hear the things others say to women on the sidelines 🤪
keep this “revoke his credentials” energy next time we voice concerns 🤪🥰
🚨 life update 🚨
so so excited to announce that i have accepted a position with the
@WashWizards
to be their new manager of digital content! i’ll be moving to D.C. in the next few weeks & i am so stoked for this next step in my career ❤️
i am so over the “being annoyed at sports creatives sharing their work” crowd.
if you are proud of something you make, share the heck out of it! show the world!
there’s a huge difference in clout chasing and being a proud artist, and most of us are just that.
heartbroken to say that this will be my last week with
@WashWizards
as I was apart of the recent furloughs at MSE
with that, I’m back on the job market & I’m also looking to freelance again for the time being
if anyone has photo or design needs please contact me ❤️
being a team photographer is quite literally setting up a studio and breaking it down every day for the rest of your life until your back finally gives out
gonna save y’all from the long sappy post but dang, getting to finally share these, on National Girls & Women in Sports days at that, is so special. it’s such an honor to get to create something so important and I’m so proud of how these came out. ❤️
#TakeCommand
getting to do this every day will never feel real. happy world photography day y’all.
i’ll never be able to put into words how thankful i am for the support i’ve gotten on this silly little bird app. 🖤
oh look-
another man with no concept of how hard I’ve worked to get to where I’m at insinuating I only have a job because I’m attractive! how original!
bruce really is the best boy 🥺
someone just came up to me in tears and said she was having a panic attack and asked if she could pet him
he snuggled right up and comforted a complete stranger 🥺
my sports career started in baseball in 2018 and there were very few women in team photographer roles at the time & now both of the teams in the World Series have women as their lead team photographers. 🥹
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have been PHYSICALLY PUSHED out of the way by other photographers so they can get their shot and be sure that I don’t.
cut it with all this “professionalism” bs
Hey, I’m a sports photographer. You might know me from my bops “That Photo Can’t Be Cropped Like That,” “Sorry the Ref Was in the Way,” & the record breaking “WOW the Lighting in Here is Trash”
Hi, I’m a graphic designer. You might know me from my hits “no I won’t make the logo bigger”, “that is way too much text” and the chart-topping “you didn’t give the proper lead time”
this is cheesy as heck but…
having people use my photos to talk about their grind & all their dreams coming true makes me so happy & is such a full circle moment
this was my dream too & getting to share these moments is so dang cool & something I’ll never take for granted
there is SO much more to being a team photog than covering practices & games
nailing action shots is only a fraction of the job (you can’t do it without, but this doesn’t qualify you for the job alone)
you truly need to excel at all aspects of photography, not just sports
imagine a player getting a pick 6, recognizing you on the sideline, pointing you out to the team, them all coming to celebrate to your camera specifically…..just for another shooter to run onto the field in front of you an act like it was for them
ok I need answers...
Did any of you guys also grow up watching the Goonies?
This movie was a staple in my childhood & I’m slowly learning that none of my friends have even seen it???
being a woman in sports is not tagging players in your photos so no one can find your account just so your male counter parts can text the players and brag about getting to hang out with them
