We wanted to get a photo of Taylor doing her thing--hitting softballs really, really hard. But the angle we wanted was low and kind of in the line of fire. It required laying down on the field and trusting her to crack balls past you. Anything for the shot. Also, though, it was clear from the beginning that this young lady was in her element. A very precise hitter, and we lack the scars to prove it. Know what's not fair, though? Put that same young lady in a dress? In dress casual? Lovely.

You ever read the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Jekyll is a mild mannered guy who turns into a fiend called Hyde from time to time. Tyler is kind of like that guy. He's laid back, but driven--driven enough to be the starting quarterback...and strong safety. When you give him a football, you can see the intensity radiate from the pigskin to his whole body, and the nice young man becomes the competitor in front of your eyes. When he smiles, you can't help but feel happy. But don't let that mild mannered side fool you--when the Friday night lights turn on, you're not going to want to be on the other side of the ball.
As you know by now, we love photographing athletes in their element. Devon is a fired-up track star and triathlete...and quite lovely to boot. The lovely is obvious, but how did we know she's fired-up? At our pre-shoot coffee meeting, she could hardly contain her energy--she looked like she might jump up and sprint across the cafe at any minute! Luckily, we have specially made equipment to capture things that move. really. fast.
