  Yesterday was the start of my spring sports in Albert Lea. We scheduled for Monday, but had wind and rain. If it had been boys baseball, it would have made no difference… they are no strangers to doing their photo shoot in the rain, as that is what the conditions were last year for them. Girls on the other hand, put time and effort into their look for their picture day. Orders for girls are near 100%, boys are less than that and only because they probably don’t get their picture packets turned in to their parents. Most guys just don’t seem to care that much about pictures.

  Yesterday, we still had strong winds, but it was sunny, which helped warm it up a bit. Instead of going out into the open on the softball field, I chose to shoot in a spot I haven’t shot before in nearly 10 years of doing these sports pictures. We set up right outside the doors where we were shielded from the wind, warm sunshine at their backs and a great reflection off of the school siding and windows. This group of girls was fun! It was probably a combination of them being fun and my enjoying photographing them that made it such a good day and made the images that much cooler!

  Track today.
