The Big Sur Marathon is one of the most beautiful road races in the world! With 5 (!) distances, it brings together an incredible community of runners striving to reach their goals and I love being there to celebrate with them at the finish 🏅See you next year 😎 #marathon #sportsphotographer #bigsur #monterey #carmelbythesea

I have to give the women of the Sea Otter Classic their flowers - they are INCREDIBLE! The grit and determination to compete in such physically grueling endurance events is inspiring. Featured - Kate Courtney (Photo 1) is the current Marathon World Champion and Julie Young (Photo 3) is a former pro cyclist who did the XL Fuego on a fixed speed bike 🤯 @kateplusfate @redbull @julieyoung.training @seaotterclassic #seaotterclassic #mountainbiker #gravelbike #monterey #sportsphotography

The Sea Otter Classic is THE festival for the cycling community held at Laguna Seca Raceway here in Monterey County. It is four full days of racing, product launches, demos and community. It was a blast to be out there today as a spectator to all the action! @seaotterclassic @lifetimeae @canyon @seaotterclassicfdn #seaotterclassic #seaotterclassic2026 #monterey #montereycounty #sportsphotography

It was so fun to be at Stanford for opening weekend of their new courts! They are perfect for college tennis and if we lived closer I would be there all the time. The tennis is also elite - I know the Majors and Masters events are having a moment, but don’t sleep on the college level 🎾 @stanfordwtennis #tennis🎾 #sportsphotography #bayareasports #gostanford

One day I will make it to the Indian Wells tennis tournament that starts this week - it is a favorite among tennis fans here in California! Nice weather (ok, maybe a little chilly at night), but an intimate venue where you really get to see some of the top players up close. Definitely one that’s on my list! If you have been, share all the tips! 💡 In the meantime, I’m still pinching myself that we were at Wimbledon last year 🎾 @bnpparibasopen @visitindianwells

I’m still thinking about the Super Bowl Halftime Show and the celebration of Puerto Rican culture. I can’t recall another halftime performance where I learned so much! Despite having been to Puerto Rico twice, I hope I have the opportunity to go back! Here are a few photos from my trip in 2023 with @witsummit and @discoverpuertorico #superbowlhalftimeshow #discoverpuertorico #puertorico #sanjuanpuertorico #travelinspo

Happy National Girls & Women in Sports Day! Last month I got to photograph our local flag football all-star game and it is really cool to see the next generation of athletes excel. This is your sign to go out and watch a women’s sporting event this year! Thank you to @reggiestephensfoundation for having me out! ✨ Did you know Flag Football was added to the NCAA list for Emerging Sports for Women AND will be an event at @la28 ?! #flagfootball #womeninsport #girlssports #montereyphotographer

2025 in 12 Photos - As I look back on this year, I'm filled with so much gratitude. I discovered my passion for sports photography and couldn't be more thankful (huge thanks to WER!). Volunteering at Pebble Beach Food & Wine and the USGA Women’s Mid-Am were incredible experiences, welcoming visitors to Monterey. Family and sports drove our travels, the perfect mix! Here’s to taking this same energy into 2026✨

Monterey Bay Half Marathon 👟 - I love the two weekends a year when the running community converges on the Monterey Peninsula. It is always a highlight to be one of their volunteer photographers. It is such an accomplishment for all the runners - everyone has a story about what it takes to get to the finish line. As I was going through the photos, I decided to try something different - highlight the women 💪🏼 and go all B&W 🖤🤍🖤 The little one’s sign and face at the end just made me 😂 @teambsmf @runhermag #running #runner #medalmonday #sportsphotography #runningphotos #femaleathlete #monterey #montereybayhalfmarathon #halfmarathoner #halfmarathon

USGA Women’s Mid-Am Championship - I had the opportunity to volunteer at the tournament this past week as a walking scorer. Going into the tournament, I didn’t know a lot about it (my dad just kept forwarding the emails saying they needed more volunteers!). But, meeting the players, learning about their golf journeys and their passion for the sport was incredible! I saw my first eagle on a par 5 and scored a round for one of the two finalists. And, congratulations to @kimozi22 (photos 1 & 5) for winning it on the 23rd hole! (longest match in the championship’s history!) Next year, they are at Montclair Golf Club in West Orange, NJ @usga #usga #golf #golfcoursephotos #monterey #montereypeninsula #montereyphotographer #womeninsport #womensupportingwomen #womenssports #womeningolf #sportsphotographer #volunteer #amateurgolf
