There is no reason team photos have to be all boring and one some pretend stadium backdrop. Make the kids look like all stars. A crop like this even has room for a team logo, or league logo in the negative space.

Team Photos – Soccer
Sunday, April 1st, 2012The Boys of Summer
Monday, June 6th, 2011Is there anything better than taking in a ball game on a warm summer night? Tonight I finally got to see my team, the LoC Ducks, on the field for the first time this season. The guys played tough, but fell short by a run. Doesn’t matter that much. They had fun and got to hang out with their buddies for a couple of hours. Playing the dirt, spitting sunflower seeds and, at this age, probably some slightly inappropriate jokes on the bench. Getting pretty much like the Bigs if you ask me.
I’ve been sponsoring my kid’s teams for the past couple of years – soccer, t-ball, softball, baseball. It’s a good way to give back to the city leagues. I don’t feel guilty about not coaching if I’m footing part of the bill for the team! 
And since I’m not coaching I get to shoot more of the action so expect lots of photos this summer – maybe not here in the blog – but over at the LoC Facebook page (become a fan!)
My Team
Saturday, April 16th, 2011Soccer season started today. Team LoC didn’t get off to bad start. The boys played tough in 0-3 loss.
And they had fun!
Sports Portraits
Friday, June 4th, 2010I sponsor my kid’s teams for the city leagues and every year I get asked why I’m not the guy taking the pictures. There are a couple of reasons why I’m not the guy, but if I was the guy, this is what I’d be doing.

Tyler said "Go!'

Team Tyler crosses the finish line during the Cleveland Triathlon on Sunday. Eleven families of children with CP took part in the race to raise money of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cleveland.
As the families reached out for donations I began to wonder if there was something other than money I could offer. I asked Team Tyler if I could photograph the race for them. With one parent taking part and the other watching their other children, I knew photography wouldn’t be the highest priority. My offer ended up getting presented to UCP and they wanted to know if I could shoot all the families. I didn’t even think about it. Of course I would and they could have the images to use for promotion for next years race and pass along to the other UCP families that raced that day.
The rest of the images are HERE.
Congrats to UCP, the racers, the volunteers and the families involved for a great event. I’d say I’m looking forward to photographing it again next year, but my wife and I are thinking of actually racing in it as part of Team Tyler! Of course, if we decided not to race, I will definitely be there with my camera in hand to capture the day again.
