Lacrosse Photography in Richmond, VA

Professional High School Lacrosse Photographer

Pure Speed Meets Controlled Violence

The lightning-quick release of a 100+ mph shot, the thunderous collision of a perfectly timed check, the athletic artistry of a behind-the-back pass threading through traffic. Lacrosse combines the speed of hockey with the strategy of soccer and the physicality of football, creating some of the most electrifying moments in all of sports. As a sports photographer serving Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Hanover, I've discovered that lacrosse photography demands split-second timing and an understanding of controlled chaos.

Having coached lacrosse gives me an insider's understanding of the game's tactical elements, but 2024 marks my first season bringing that knowledge behind the camera lens. This fresh perspective has reignited my passion for sports photography in ways I didn't expect. Knowing the game as a coach - understanding when a fast break is developing, recognizing defensive breakdowns, anticipating where the next scoring opportunity will emerge - combined with the excitement of capturing these moments for the first time creates an energy that shows in every frame. From the precision of a midfielder's dodge to the raw power of a close-range shot, I'm discovering lacrosse photography with the enthusiasm of someone experiencing the sport's visual drama for the first time.
