Cottonwood Cyclery hosted a bike clinic at the USSA, so I snapped some photos for them, a few of which are now featured on their new website, www.cottonwoodcyclery.com/ . It was a fun day at work – riding bikes, talking, taking photos and… hula hooping!

Hans Gardner is new on the U.S. Freestyle Team this year and has a very promising career ahead of him. I really enjoyed photographing him and getting to know him a bit more. With his insane freestyle skiing skills and charming personality, I’m sure he’ll go far. Give him some support and “like” his page: http://www.facebook.com/HansGardner

Traveling to Copper Mountain with the U.S. Freeskiing and U.S. Snowboarding Teams was an amazing experience. (I love my job) It was my first time shooting in the pipe and let me tell you – it was thrilling. You can hear the sound of the ski edges pushing into the wall, the grunts and groans of the skiers as they pop up over the lip about 4 feet in front of your face. You have a few seconds to get that perfect shot, it’s a constant adrenaline rush and I love it. The energy of the competition is contagious and buzzing, and having established relationships and worked with with a few of the athletes makes it even more personal when you watch them, all the while rooting for them to win. I also have a special place in my heart for freeskiing, and was honored to be there to shoot the first-ever World Cup sanctioned Freeskiing event. (It was just added as an Olympic sport, therefore this being its first official season on the road to Sochi 2014). Not to mention, I was so excited to have my photo of the first-place winner, Wing Tai Barrymore, featured on ESPN and Powder Magazine! More to come later this season

Shooting some Buffalo

sarah ann — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 21:53:13 +0000

I took the boys out for a quick shoot about 2 weeks ago. The weather turned cloudy and rainy as we arrived, so we only ended up getting about 2 minutes of sunlight – but it was enough time to get at least a couple of decent photos. We didn’t accomplish the shoot I originally planned – but that will happen soon enough (and it’ll be a really good one). Also, keep your eyes peeled as the top photo and Holy Water Buffalo grace a page in Relix Magazine’s October/November special issue! www.holywaterbuffalo.com

Zeke

This is Zeke, our little kitty. Well, he’s not really little anymore – Tommy picked him out of a litter of kittens in a Wal-Mart parking lot about 3 years ago, wanting to surprise me. He’s now a massive beast and has grown into one cool, smart and beautiful cat – unlike any other feline I’ve ever met. As we like to say: Zeke is a badass with a heart of gold.
