Friends and followers, you may have noticed a new note in my galleries regarding ongoing photo theft this season.

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed an increase in people taking screenshots or screen-grabbing images instead of purchasing them. Please understand that if this occurs, the individual will be immediately blacklisted for the remainder of the season and invoiced for the cost of the photos plus a copyright fee. This is not a warning I give lightly, but it has become necessary due to the volume of reports I’ve received.

Photography is not just a passion; it is my livelihood. Unless photos are purchased, I receive no compensation for the many hours I spend shooting, editing, and providing professional-quality memories for our community. I do this work because I love capturing your moments, and because I believe families deserve to be fully present at shows, cheering on their children and athletes without worrying about missing those special memories.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported my work by purchasing photos and those who have taken the time to report instances of stolen images. Your respect and support allow me to continue offering this service to our community.
