Note: Families are asked to be seated in the stands and not take photos while the photographer is working to limit distractions. The photos will be posted for free.

Throughout the games, the photographer will take action shots. A link will be provided the following week for you to browse and purchase photos of interest.
Note: These are random action shots and the photographer cannot guarantee your student-athlete will be captured on 10/7. If you have an interest in individual photos or want to book action shots for future games, please see the next section.

If you desire to purchase individual photos, you may arrange a time directly with the photographer. She has set aside the afternoon of 10/22 and 10/29.
