Tennessee Heat Basketball

TEAM PHOTOS, INDIVIDUAL PORTRAITS & GAME PHOTOS

This year was my first time doing athletic portraits, thanks for inviting me to come! I created this page so that I can share photo links, galleries, portraits and have a form for photo selection submissions. This page is still being developed, thanks for your patience while I put it all together.

2023 Included Free Photoshoots

I was happy to offer free basketball portraits, online proofing galleries, and an edited high resolution file in exchange for a simple Google review this year. I think it’s a win-win for everyone :)

Three Poses for Individual Portraits

Each player got to do three different poses. I wish we had a little more time but we powered through. Thanks to everyone for being there on time and ready to go!

Team Photos

Although time was pretty limited, we were able to do a few team photos. I hope if we have a chance in the future that we can do some more photos with some more planning time!

Congrats Sam and Liz! 💍 The plan was I had gotten this new light painting kit and wanted to test it out so we scheduled a shoot at the beach. They arrived early for a picnic and then we would do the photoshoot around sunset. As I was setting things up, Sam brought a box with a bouquet inside. We hoped that Liz would think it was food or something to do with the shoot. After he opened the box and gave her the bouquet he proposed. We had tried think of all the possibilities and I thought it was a good plan but there are always some unexpected elements. Even so it all worked out in the end :)

Had a really nice time with Matt, Cheryl, Jackson and Maddie :) Matt’s a military aviator so we had a lot to talk about (he’s been all over the world!) and the kids are great. Maddie likes to collect things...she found a cool leaf for her collection 🍁 Anyhow I always like to go to this spot when doing family photos at Notre Dame. Isn’t it a nice view? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #nd #notredame #familyphotos #fall
