End of the Year 2017


 The end of the year is always my favorite time as we look back on the last 365 days and reminisce on all that we have done well and where we can improve moving into 2018. I feel blessed and honored to have so many incredible experiences in 2018- traveling all over the country to visit and work places such as New York, Nashville, Chicago, Cincinnati, Mississippi, Indianapolis and everywhere in between.  

I graduated from the Univeristy of Kentucky with my marketing degree just two weeks ago ready to take on the world. What's next? The question you get as a graduating college student enough times that if I had a penny for each time it was asked, my student loans would be paid off. But for now...I am starting a freelancing career full-time here in Kentucky based out of Lexington. I have been thankful for new and old relationships working with great clients who allow me to enter into so many subjects lives and experience so many moments.


I am looking to all that this next year holds. Thanks for following along this year, below are some of my favorite photos from the past year. They may not be my best photos, but they are the photos that were my favorite and most memorable that I will remember looking back years from now. Thanks for looking and may God bless your 2018!

Kentucky Derby 143


This past weekend I covered my third Kentucky Derby in Louisville with Getty Images.  Growing up in Louisville I had never attended the Derby before I covered it three years ago and it has quickly become my favorite event to cover each year. From the hats, to morning workouts, the pageantry and the actual race, there is nothing like the week leading up to the first Saturday in May (especially after a long finals week of school). Thanks to the Getty crew of Rob, Greg, Patrick, Andy, Jamie, Justin, Jim, Shaban and Bobby for a for a great week and allowing me to be apart of the team. Here are some of my favorite images split up in sections from workouts, to hats and features and lastly of course, the races. You can see the whole teams images here. Thanks for looking! 








Hats, Hats, Hats! (and Features)





Man vs. Mud



















And, They're Off!

End of the Year 2016



The end of the year is always my favorite time as we look back on the last 365 days and reminisce on all that we have done. I feel blessed and honored to have so many incredible experiences in 2016- traveling all over the country to visit places such as Washington D.C. Atlanta, Des Moines(zzzzzz), Nashville, Boston, Philadelphia. I also got to work under the gracious staff at the Denver Post during the summer and experience more than I could have expected. In the fall, I took the semester off from school to work along side the Getty Images Sport staff in New York City and live in the Big Apple, which in itself, was a incredible experience.  I have had the opportunity to photograph many first's, ranging from the Kentucky Derby, to the SEC Tournament, to Ichiro's 3000th hit, and countless sporting events for the first time, like the U.S. Open, the NYC Marathon, NBA games, and UFC among many others. 
I am looking to all that this next year holds as I finish my last two semesters of school at Kentucky graduating next December. Thanks for following along this year, below are some of my favorite photos from the past year. They may not be my best photos, but they are the photos that were my favorite and most memorable that I will remember looking back years from now. Thanks for looking and may God bless your 2017!
