Martin Family Photography

This weekend I connected with a good friend for a family photography session. Group portraits are not my strength so I was fairly nervous about the whole thing. I find it incredibly difficult to set up a group pose that looks natural and interesting.

I still haven't found a great method for posing groups, but this weekend I was fortunate to be photographing a beautiful family and that makes getting a good photo a lot easier. 

After the formal seating and posing I was able to just shoot the kids hanging out in the yard. Individual portraits are much easier for me and I am pretty happy with what I got.

Wrapping up Halloween

Mia making a mummy

This Halloween Jennifer put together a great party for Mia's class. The big fun came from first turning a classmate into a mummy followed by the always popular, cupcake decorating. 

It may not sound like much, but from the photos, the kids seemed to love it.

Joe Clarke's 400th Career Win

Joe Clarke's 400th Career Win

Heading up to Principia College for a night game, proved to be a good win, giving Joe Clarke his 400th career win, but the cold was nearly unbearable. The WUSTL Bears shut out the Principia Panthers 3-0 in a game that seemed to last forever. I'm pretty sure that was a result of the frost that started to cover the team's equipment by the end of the match. The cold night was not the most fun to shoot in, but 400 wins is a big milestone for Joe. Big congrats to him.

See all the photos in my Smugmug Gallery. Writeups about the game are available on both the Wash U. Bearsports page as well as Principia Athletics site.

Exciting game, but a tough loss

WUSTL Soccer Class of 2014

I may not be huge into sports culture, riding the rollercoaster of emotions, ecstatic with every win, desolated with any loss, but I do get caught up in WUSTL soccer games. The match on Sunday was the perfect game to suck me in. 

It was a beautiful day. Our annual senior game, celebrating the boys who I have watched grow from obnoxious freshmen. And it was Rochester. It is always fun to beat Rochester.   

Henry Cummings

We were not even two minutes into the game when Rochester scored off a head ball around the six. It hurt because I train the keepers and any slight imperfection in their play I immediately take as my fault. I should have done better in training.

But our team is known to start slow and we have come back before. Now it was up to the field players to score, and my keeper to be flawless. The momentum build started slowly, but as we found our game so grew our confidence.

In the second half, the bears were pretty well controlling the game. It was hard to tell if rochester was trying to pack it in and hold onto a single goal lead, but with our play, scoring could not be far off.  

Then a rather unlikely left footed shot came from a freshman that went into the game to help even the size and strength matchup. Henry hit a beautiful ball the found the far, top corner and we were tied. Only eight minutes left in regulation.

With the energy and play tilting for the Bears, everyone knew this was our game to win. However, time ran out. We were unable to get the winning goal in regulation, but overtime would work to our favor. 

Then, a couple minutes into the first overtime and the original hero makes a poor pass back. One small error. Rochester capitalizes and our excitement is gone.
