I have bleacher butt! Two days into the shootout and I still can't get enough basketball. It's my all-time favorite sport to watch (and play) and really pretty comical at times. You'd be surprised at some of the expressions on faces, the angles you can twist your body in motion. It's hilarious! Here's just a quick peek at some of the boys game on Wednesday. I sat (and walked around) for 11 hours watching and photographing basketball. And Taylor was right there with me! I don't know who loves it more, me or her. Thursday was a slower day for me. I had other work to tend to and didn't get to watch the entire day. But it's Friday and I'm up...showered and ready to head to town! Shootout here we come! (trouble uploading...keep checking back for more--they're good!)
There will be a complete gallery on the website of the NCMC Shootout. Just go to the website at www.lookatmepics.com and click on the proofing tab. The password is Shootout share it with your friends and everyone you know! Maybe you have friends from another high school that was at the shootout or cousins who play for another team. I tried to take as many as I could from each day, and some games I had requests for more from parents and grandparents. So if you see more of one school than another, consider me old. I get caught up watching and forget to photograph on occasion--so I had the 'assistant' Taylor helped me and she got some incredible shots too! I think she has a love for her mother's hobby. :o) She's a lot of help to me in more ways than one when it comes to my photography.

Friday Night
Talk about dizzy. The first home game I thought I was going to actually get a chance to sit, relax (okay...play with my camera) and enjoy, and I'm reminded I have a Christmas program to attend for my son. So I went to watch the girls warm up at 5, game at 6 which I got to watch 3/4 of, rush to R-6 to the program, (listen to the rest of the girls game on the radio in the parking lot), enjoy my son's Christmas program, then head back to town to watch the end of the boys game. Which was just to pass time. If I hadn't been waiting on a pizza I probably would have gone straight home. I love to watch the games, but sometimes......it hurts. ;o) I got so frustrated watching the JV game Thursday at Unionville I bit my lip chewing my gum so hard that I bled for hours. You know that instant pain that brings tears to your eyes....bit it hard, still feeling it two days later kinda pain. I didn't have a lot of time for pictures last night but here's a few favs:
Family Sports Pass: $60; Concession stand bill: $10;Basketball Shoes: $80;
Seeing Coach Ock with this expression: PRICELESS
Did anyone mention to their forward that when the little man in the striped shirt throws the ball in the air....you jump....high. Check out Aimee!!! Kickin butt at the tip-off!

Working Hard
We're slaving away here at the studio during the holidays! It's a hectic time for Look at Me and soooo much to do and so little time to do it in! Thanks for all your patience and understanding during this busy season. I'm punching out holiday sessions as fast as I can!
We're setting new business hours to keep from losing my sanity. The three year old in the house and the teenage daughter have more influence over my schedule than anything else. So, if you need to contact the studio for anything our hours are posted below:
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Josh Lisle
Josh came to Look at Me for his THS Senior portraits with Whitney (*wink*wink*). We had a good time and I think he enjoyed his session. Very laid back and easy-going, Josh can have you laughing in no time.
Thanks for your patience Josh--you got caught up in the internet/web disaster I'm having and Christmas rush. Your proofs will be available on Monday, December 11th! Hope you enjoyed your session and love your portraits! And I've been watching you on the court! Just can't get enough of basketball!
Dakota Hoffman
A recent THS senior from Look at Me! Koty scoped out some awesome locations before his session. I had to think of nothing, just enjoyed shooting! You had me thinking "outside the box" and I was so excited with the places you picked for your portraits. I hope you enjoyed your session and loved your portraits! Thanks Koty!
Busy Busy!!!
Holy Cow I'm busy at the studio! And trying to go to all the ball games I can! I'm missing out working so much. But it was great to see the JV girls/boys back in action. After having their tournament cancelled due to the weather it was almost like we hadn't started a season yet. So Thursday and Friday having two games back to back was great.
Sorry I don't have any snapshots to share, my camera went on vacation to Wyoming and it hasn't returned yet! (literally) ;o) I taught my dad how to use my new P&S camera and it went on vacation. They are back today and I should be able to post some previews from this weeks games! The boys brought home a win over Marceline last night and after a lot of hard work and much effort the girls lost, sadly, by three to the lady Tigers. We need to focus on TEAMwork and stamina! (In my humble opinion....) Our girls look tired and need to run more. Or maybe I just watch too many basketball movies. Where's Coach Carter when you need him?! ;o) LOL
I've managed to cover pictures for girls jv and varsity basketball (middle school too), basketball cheerleaders, and wrestling cheerleaders. Thanks again to coaches and sponsors who came to Look at Me for their sports photos. I have so much fun photographing the kids and trying to keep things different and more like what the teens want, rather than boring traditional stuff. I'm looking forward to wrestling photos next week. Here's a peak at some of what I've been doing. (photos are chosen at random)
