Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CGA U19 Hockey vs. Victory Honda

 This evening the CGA U19 Girls Hockey team played their first game of the 2009-2010 season at Culver Academy in the Henderson Ice Rink against the Victory Honda hockey team. The girls battled hard throughout the game, but they couldn’t hold off the other team. The final score was 2 to 4. During the game, a young lady on the opposing team was injured, causing a delay while waiting on EMTs. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Our prayers go out to her, her family, and her teammates. There are more photos located at www.culverphotos.com.

Culver Academy Football Photos: CMA Sectional Victory over New Prairie

The CMA Eagles won their Sectional Championship game! And what a game it was. The Eagles shut out New Prairie for a 14-0 win. All of the Culver Eagles’ points came in the first quarter making the other three quarters an intense game. As you can see in the pictures, it was a rainy, muddy game. The defensive team had one of the best games of the season. At least three times, they held the other team from scoring when they were within 15 yards of the goal line. Each time New Prairie tried for the fourth down score or first down, the defense stopped them. The defense has held the other teams scoreless in tournament play. If they continue to do so, we’ll go all the way!

Ginny and I enjoyed taking the photographs of this football team all season, and we are thrilled we got to photograph their victory in the Sectionals. Go Eagles! For more photos, you can visit www.culverphotos.com. There are over 500 photographs uploading there. It will take 24 hours for the photos to upload, but by end of weekend, you can see what an exciting game this one was.

Culver Indiana Senior Pictures: Shae Harris Senior Photos, Part 2

Today, we met again with Shae Harris to take some photos that included props from her school activities and her car. And, we met 10-year-old Ally, Shae’s sister, and Nick, Shae’s boyfriend. Ally is not only funny, but she’s also creative. She came up with some fun ideas for posed pictures and outdoor pictures on the swing set. Though Nick was coming from basketball practice, he was very accomodating of us and agreed to take a few shots. What a nice guy, and we know he has good taste! We took a few shots just as it was getting dark, and though the lighting wasn’t ideal, the couple was. We went for the goofy, the creative, the props, the car, some school signs, and the beautiful Shae. It was a fun photoshoot. We’ve uploaded more photos to the Shae gallery. Thanks Shae and Harris family. We love your humor and your kindness. Both seem to run in the family! Congrats to Shae and Nick on their senior year. Hope your final months are filled with fond memories!

Culver Indiana Senior Pictures: Shae Harris Senior Photos, Part 1

 The rain finally stopped long enough for us to take photos. Today, Ginny and I shot Shae Harris. Shae is a senior at Culver Community High School, and she is the daughter of Robin Harris, a friend of Ginny’s.

We had planned to take photos of Shae at a beautiful yellow tree near the dentist’s office, but this weekend’s weather took the leaves off of the tree, making a barren background. Ginny and I had scouted a few other locations, and we were lucky enough to get those to work, as all the leaves haven’t fallen yet and there were some great backdrops to work with, and some decent lighting. The weather held out, and the sun actually came out for a few shots. And Shae was beautiful. She has a natural smile and easy-going personality. We had a great time shooting her in the natural settings of Fall.

Later in the week, we will shoot more photos of Shae to capture what she does at school and her car. Thanks for your patience today, Shae. We had a great time with you and know you have a great future ahead of you.

Culver Academy Football Photos: CMA Varsity Football Sectionals in Hammond

For those of you who braved the artic cold, long drive, rain, and 30-mph winds to travel to Hammond for the CMA Eagle’s first Sectional game, you know the miseries of the weather were quickly forgotten once the team took to the field. Tonight, the Eagles played one of their best games of the season, resulting in a shutout against the 8 and 1 team of Hammond Clark. The final score was 21 Eagles, 0 Hammond.

The game and the players were a wet, muddy mess when it was all over, though I suspect that none of them realized this until they were on the bus headed home. The Eagles should be proud. They played a great game and conducted themselves professionally and with sportsmanship. If this is any indication of future tournament games, they should go far. I’ve posted a few photos here; there are hundreds more at www.culverphotos.com. Please note that due to IHSAA tournament regulations, these photos are not for sale. If you would like any of these photos, please contact me.

Culver Academy Soccer Photos: CGA Varsity Soccer Regionals

This evening the CGA Varsity Soccer team traveled to South Bend to compete in the State Regional Tournament against the South Bend Riley soccer team. Both teams played hard and fair, though Riley proved to be a tough opponent. Culver lost 2 to 1. One of the excitements of the game was when there was only 8 minutes left in the game and Culver scored their goal on a long penalty shot. With this goal, you could see the players’ determination change on the field. For the girls who had been playing for 72 minutes, there was a new found energy as they knew there was a chance of scoring again to tie the game. Riley found that same energy though with their efforts to keep Culver from scorring a second goal. The last eight minutes were intense and fun to watch though the outcome was not what we had hoped for. I’ve posted more photos at www.culverphotos.com. Until I research ISHAA’s tournament rules further, my photos from tonight’s game are only for viewing and will not be sold. I hope to clarify things in the next few days.
