Do you remember Bo Jackson?

Wed, 30 Dec 2015 14:00:00 GMT

My wife and I went to visit our friends in Missouri this past weekend to take in a Chiefs vs Browns game and while I was there I decided to shoot their two children, Tristan a senior and Kristan a middle schooler. At first they were giving me strange looks as I set up a three light system and told them to stand in a certain place, which happened to be a few feet from the living room wall. Yes I had forgotten our backdrops and went back to old school for this particular shoot. My buddy Dave handed Kristan a bat and asked me if I remembered Bo Jackson? I froze a bit because his daughter was in a basketball uniform, but I went ahead and rolled with it anyway. After all he is my friend. When I was done shooting, Kristan asked if she could see the pic and I said sure. When I pulled it up on the back of the camera she gave me a funny look, said thank you, smiled, and went to her room. Once I exported the card it donned on me that she had no idea that the shots taken were for composites and I chuckled a bit thinking of her reaction earlier in the day. Well here is the end result and she loved it which I was very happy she did. By the way, she plays softball too, so be looking for her next composite soon.

Player Banners

Player banners are new to SSP as we are bringing sport portraits and combining them with art to enhance the overall look for the player. These are 24x36 vinyl banners that are printed locally and can be customized upon request. The banners are double stitched, contain ring mounts, and are UV protected up to 3 years. When I was playing youth sports in Oho back in the dinosaur days, we didn't have items like this to display or have as a keep sake for years to come. In today's day and age we have the ability to meld photographs to art to create items that will both satisfy and promote the youth player throughout the year. These are on sale until 23 AUGUST 2015 at a price of $75 (regularly $125), so don't wait to pre-order yours today. We will contact you to schedule your player's banner shoot and bring our portable studio to you. Please allow 2 Weeks for from the photo shoot to delivery. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Fell free to call us as well as our number is located on our information page, or message us on our Facebook page.

Davis Baseball Tournament

What a great weekend for some baseball at the Davis Ball Park in OKC. I was able to cover the Norman Rays, as well as, the Spartans, Reds, Pirates, and the Oklahoma Sox. Met some great people and was able to capture photos that made me smile, and that's hard to do. So take a look at the gallery and let us know what you think.
