Beth - Aurora High School

Featuring Miss Beth of Aurora High School today! Beth is an amazing athlete who plays both softball and soccer. She has recently signed with Stephens College to continue her education and softball career.

I’m so glad she pushed a little outside her comfort zone and trusted this process because she’s a total natural in front of the camera. She’s a pretty laid-back, fun-loving girl.

MOD Squad 2020 Goes Retro at the Sandlot! [Featured Session]

Since my boys were wee little ones we spent many a summer day at various ballparks watching them play the greatest game on earth, baseball. My favorite ballpark by far is the Sandlot. It’s not the most state of the art. They didn’t even have scoreboards. But, it has something better: history and heart. The camp has seen the likes of Michael Jordan, Charlie Sheen and Joe Girardi. And continues to host camps and tournaments for the love of the game and kids who love the game.

Aside from a few newer fields on its outskirts it remains realatively untouched. Now, anyone who knows me knows what a geek I am about old houses, buildings, anything with a storied history. I always thought what an amazing location this would be to shoot a movie about the good old days. It has that special nostalgia. Well, I don’t make movies but I do photograph some amazing seniors who are always up for an adventure. <3

Thanks to the MOD Squad 2020 and to Brad and Tom at the Sandlot for making my dream come true!
