Those that know me well know there are two passions that have been constant for most of my adult life.…photography and soccer. Rarely, if ever, do I have the chance to combine the two in an enjoyable way. Photographing a soccer game doesn’t count….that is too much like work! But photographing a family where the dad is a former high level player and a knowledgeable, avid fan…now that is a session to remember. The morning of the USA v Ghana game, in the round of 16 at this year’s World Cup, I had the pleasure of photographing Michael, Chrisann and their adorable daughter Olivia at a park in Northern Virginia. With Michael and I easily solving the problems of the US National Team, and the countries of the rest of the world while we were at it, this was one of the fastest family sessions and one of the most enjoyable I have done in quite awhile! Even on a day with high temperatures and humidity to match, this family was a joy to photograph. The session time just flew by…
My thanks to Michael and Chrisann and of course, Olivia, for being such good sports and such great subjects. Here are a few of our favorite images from the day.
