Our photographer has started up this year’s sports photo galleries!

OKAY! I’ve started this year’s sports galleries! My goal is to add pics from each game as I complete them, and then if you wanna get digital/prints/canvas versions of your kid(s) playing, you can just visit here and grab them! (And don’t worry, cross country is coming, they just start the latest).

My turnaround time will likely be a few days - I’m hoping! - but will also probably vary a bit depending on the week. Some weeks have lotsss of activities with lots of commuting, so things can move a little slower when that’s the case. I will try to post updates in my stories, so keep an eye out there if you can!

September is National Preparedness Month. Is is the perfect time to remind everyone that preparing for emergencies and disasters can keep them, their families and their communities safe.
This year's theme is “Start a Conversation”!
Starting a conversation today about what could happen in a disaster or emergency isn’t always easy. But by taking that first step to get ready you are only helping yourself and your family be prepared!
