Indiana Sports Photography: CCHS Girls Varsity Soccer vs. John Glenn
A few evenings ago, the Culver Community High School girls varsity soccer team hosted John Glenn High School. It was a great game with both schools being very evenly matched. Unfortunately, the girls of CCHS allowed a goal early in the game that they could never get back. The final score was Culver- 1, John Glenn- 2. I’ve posted some photos here.

The other day was a busy day in Culver, Indiana for volleyball. At the Culver Community school, Culver Middle School had two games: the 7th grade team and 8th grade team. Both teams hosted Triton Middle School. Almost at the same time, Culver Community High School hosted Breman’s JV and Varsity Volleyball teams. I couldn’t attend every game as I can be in only one place at a time. I did manage to photograph 3 of the 4 games. The girls of CCMS and CCHS played well. Unfortunately, Culver’s opponents won. Regardless, the games were fun to watch, and Culver has some talent that is worth following in the coming years. I’ve posted some photos here. Others can be found at:

Culver Indiana Photography: CCHS Graduation
On Friday night, I attended Culver Community High School’s Graduation Ceremony at the gymnasium at the High School. I’ve always enjoyed watching this ceremony, as doing so drives home for me what life in a small town is all about… the community. During the event, I often look around and notice a few other people I know. Like myself, these people do not have kids or grandkids graduating. Instead, they attend to show support for the students and their community. I wanted to shoot the event to ensure someone was capturing this event.
Unlike many graduations that I’ve photographed over the years, the mood of this ceremony is joyous, and the students are truly happy knowing they will see other over the summer months to come and before going off to college or careers. As you can see in the photos, the ceremony ends with a big bang and a lot of silly string! This appears to be a tradition at the school, as I’ve now witnessed it three times. Congrats to all of the Culver seniors. We wish you many successes in your future. Following are some photos from the evening’s celebration.

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.
CCHS Basketball Photos: CCHS Girls Varsity Basketball vs. Rochester
Don’t let the final score fool you! In the matchup this evening between the Girls Varsity Basketball Team of Culver Community High School and the Lady Zebras from Rochester High School, the score is deceiving. The final score was Culver- 49, Rochester- 54. This was a nail biter of a game. The first quarter ended tied at 14. At the half and also after the 3rd period, Culver trailed by 9. With 3 minutes left in the game, Culver tied the game. At two and half minutes left, the score was tied again. With 26 seconds left in the game, Culver was up by 1 point. This ended when with 19 seconds left in the game, the Zebras hit a 3-point shot. The Lady Cavaliers played well and were in the right position to win. Unfortunately, things didn’t go their way. It was a great game and I, like most everyone there, was on the edge of my seat for the last couple of minutes. I’ve posted my favorite photos here; there are more posted at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: Culver Community Freshman Boys Basketball vs. John Glenn
Tonight, I had a little free time while waiting for my wife to get out of a Town Council meeting, so I watched the CCHS Freshman Basketball Team play John Glenn. I was hoping to watch more, but a Council meeting two nights before Thanksgiving generally means the schedule is light, so I was called early to pick up my wife. The Culver Cavaliers played well. At the half, Culver was trailing, but I don’t know the final outcome of the game, as I had to leave. I hope they continued to play hard and closed the gap. I’ve posted a few photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
