Culver Academy Lacrosse Photos: CGA Varsity Lacrosse vs. Grosse Pointe
This afternoon, to wind up the Culver Academy Lacrosse Tournament, the CGA Varsity Lacrosse Team played against Grosse Pointe in a scrimmage game. Due to IHSAA regulations, the teams could not keep score because of the number of games that each team had played this week. The weather was great, and both teams appeared to be evenly matched. Not knowing the score, I’m not sure which team played better. Regardless, I think that the score would have been close.

Culver Academy Lacrosse Photos: CGA Varsity Lacrosse vs. Barrington
This evening, as part of a lacrosse tournament on Culver Academy’s campus, the CGA Varsity Lacrosse team played Barrington. The game started at around 7:30 so most of it was played under stadium lighting in dusk and early darkfall, which limited the quality of shots.
Barrington played well and took an early lead that was held for the first half of the game. In the second half, Culver came back to win the game with a final score of 6 to 4. It was a great game that was exicting and fun to watch. Both teams should be proud, as the win could have gone in either direction.

Plymouth Indiana Photography: Unexpected Prom Shoot
This afternoon, while driving back from the CMA Lacrosse Game in South Bend, I received a call asking if I could swing by and photograph a lifelong family freind of my wife’s family, Brittany Cowell. Brit was in her Prom dress before her and her date left for Culver Community High School’s Senior Prom. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it back to Culver before they had to leave. Instead, I met them at the Prom location in Plymouth. Considering that I didn’t have my full light setup and much of the backdrop was a parking lot and the sky was cloudy and overcast, I think that the photos turned out.
Brittany is a sweet girl who looked beautiful in her blue dress. Her and her date made a great looking couple who look great together, albeit a bit nervous by the camera.
Having known Brittany since she was a baby, I’m ok shooting her at Prom and Graduation. Brittany, if you’re reading this, please give me a couple of years before you ask me to photograph your wedding or a baby.
Culver Academy Lacrosse Photos: CMA Varsity vs. New Trier
This afternoon, I traveled to the campus of Notre Dame to follow Culver’s Varsity Lacrosse team as they played the Illinois State Champion team of New Trier. Did I say State Champions? I’m sorry. I should have said- the Illinois State Champions for the past 5 years! To say that this team is good is an understatement. They are a great team. Mix the intensity of the game with the surroundings, and it was a great game. (The game was played in Notre Dame’s Arlotta Stadium, which is truly a beautiful lacrosse facilty.)
New Trier did win the game with a final score of 10 to 5 after leading the entire game. I, however, do not feel that that final score is truly reflective of Culver’s abilities. In the third period, Culver overcame a several point deficit to bring the score within a point. Had Culver played that way the whole game, they could have won this one. I’d love to see these two teams meet again.
