Youth Sports Pictures....BluOrchid Style! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Who says team sports pictures have to be boring?! I got the chance to take something that is usually a mundane event and put my artistic touch to it recently. If any of you follow me on facebook or twitter, you probably remember my recent trip to N. Carolina to visit my brother, Paul. Well, he volunteered to coach a 14-15 year old baseball league this summer and I got to see him in action. He also knew that my camera is like my other arm and that I would for sure bring it, so he talked me into doing their team photo. My only request was that I get to do it MY WAY! He said he was not driving the team all over Wilmington looking for a fun colored wall! I told him that while I was happy he understood my brain for most sessions, that was not quite what I had in mind! So, we went with something a bit out of the box right there on the ball field. I emailed it over to him and he said it was the coolest team picture he had ever seen (and that is major because that guy never compliments me)! Nothing like the same old thing he got when he was a kid! So, I'm excited to show Marion and the Memphis area that just because it is a standard youth group ballteam photo, does not mean it has to be blah!!!!

That's my brother on the far left! Far cry from the skinny kid that used to play back in the day! haha!
