The Pulse of Boulder’s Athletic Scene
Boulder blends Division I intensity with grass-roots energy. On any given weekend you’ll find NCAA soccer, mid-distance Olympic hopefuls, and middle-school flag football all competing within five square miles. That overlap keeps my lens busy—and it keeps my style versatile enough to serve every level fairly
From sunrise track workouts at Potts Field to night games under the Folsom lights, I chase light, emotion, and decisive moments. My goal: a gallery that feels authentic to Boulder’s athletic pulse rather than staged or generic.
Front Range Expertise That Sets Us Apart
Sports photography is half anticipation and half logistics. Knowing when the sun ducks behind the Flatirons, how fast afternoon clouds roll in, and which in-stadium LEDs flicker on camera saves time and headaches. After a decade shooting local events, I have those details memorized so your athletes stay front and center.
I also maintain relationships with CU Athletics staff, Boulder Valley School District schedulers, and city park managers. That network helps secure permits quickly and keeps your session running on time.
Deep Knowledge of CU Athletic Venues
The campus holds some of the most photogenic facilities in college sport. I hold season credentials for Folsom Field, Prentup Soccer Field, the CU Events Center, and Potts Field. My familiarity with security lanes, tunnel lighting, and upper-deck sightlines means I spend less time scouting and more time shooting the plays that matter
Because every venue has its quirks—bleacher vibration, mixed artificial and LED light, reflective turf coatings—I carry custom color profiles for each. That technical prep ensures true uniforms and consistent skin tones across your gallery.
Eco-Friendly Production From Click to Delivery
Our editing studio runs entirely on solar power, and we partner with print labs that use recycled paper and water-based inks. Even our delivery packaging is compostable. Sustainability matters in Boulder, and choosing a Boulder sports photographer who shares those values makes your media day easier on the planet
Fund-Raising Programs That Support Your Team
Photography should give back. Through our hosted gallery system, every digital download and print order returns 15–20 percent of revenue to your booster club. We handle payment, production, and shipping; you receive a monthly check and an itemized report for transparency.Teams have funded away-game travel, new kit bags, and even scholarship fees thanks to these programs. It’s a stress-free way to turn great images into real resources.
Key Dates on the Boulder Sports Calendar
Photographers book quickly around flagship events. Plan early if you need coverage for the Boulder Marathon, Ironman 70.3, or state playoff weekends. My annual schedule also reserves blocks for high-demand seasons such as fall football, spring soccer, and late-summer cross-country meetsSharing your tentative calendar lets me build buffer days for weather reshoots and ensures your gallery lands before sponsorship or yearbook deadlines.
Signature Boulder Action Locations
Certain venues deliver reliable magic. The northern corner flag at Prentup catches sunset through student-section banners. The east ridge of Boulder Reservoir produces mirror-flat reflections for rowing squads at dawn. Over the years I’ve mapped dozens of vantage points like these to maximize drama while keeping safety first.If your athletes crave variety, we can rotate between an in-office studio portrait and an outdoor action sequence in a single session. Consistent lighting plans guarantee the final gallery feels cohesive even across locations.
Custom Posters, Banners, and Digital Composites
Action shots are only the beginning. I design 24×36 inch team posters, senior-night banners on weatherproof vinyl, and social-media composites complete with stadium lights and smoke effects. Each graphic includes your color palette, sponsor logos, and NCAA-compliant jersey edits when requiredEvery product is proofed online, shipped direct, and archived for easy reorders.
