Sports Photographer — Central New Jersey
High school athletics, youth leagues, and individual athlete coverage. Based in Bridgewater, NJ — serving teams and programs across the state.
The effort
deserves to be documented.
High school athletes put in years of work before they ever step onto a varsity field. A single season contains hundreds of moments that disappear the second they happen — a first-period takedown, a game-winning goal, a senior's last home game.
I've been photographing New Jersey athletes for 30 years. The gear is fast — the Nikon Z9 shoots 20 frames per second — but the more important skill is knowing which moment is worth the burst before it happens.
Athletes deserve photographs that match the intensity they bring to their sport. That's what I show up to make.
Right now I'm the official media partner for Bridgewater-Raritan Panther football (2026), Panther wrestling (2026-27) and Panther volleyball. That means game-day photography, team and individual portraits, and a program media hub, all in one place. My work with local student-athletes was also the subject of a Patch Bridgewater feature.
Serving high schools, travel teams, youth leagues, and booster clubs throughout Somerset County and across Central New Jersey — including programs in Warren, Morris, Union, Middlesex, and Hunterdon counties.

Sports Media Day.
Media Day is the one session where every athlete on a roster gets a proper portrait and the team gets a proper team photo, before the season starts and the schedule takes over. Done well, it gives your program a full set of images for rosters, posters, social media and Senior Night.
I run Media Days for the programs I partner with, with individual portraits and team photos built around your schedule. Families get a private gallery to order from, and the program gets images it can actually use. Here is how it works for one program: the BRHS football 2026 Media Day guide.
Athletic directors and coaches planning a season can see how season media partnerships are structured, or see the full sports Media Day photography page for how it works, timing and quotes.
What you can expect
01
Speed That Keeps Up
Shooting with the Nikon Z9 at up to 20 frames per second means the decisive moment doesn't get away. Every burst, every cut, every takedown — captured at professional resolution.
02
Game-Day Coverage
I work events the way a photojournalist works a scene: moving continuously, anticipating action, staying out of the way. Athletes and coaches don't need another distraction — they need documentation.
03
Athlete Portraits
Beyond the game, I offer individual athlete portraits — studio and on-location. The kind of shot that goes in a frame at home and on the senior poster.
04
Season & Team Packages
Recurring coverage across a full season, multi-sport packages for schools, and team-wide ordering galleries for parents. Custom rates available for ongoing relationships.
05
Graphic Design Ready
Sports photography and graphic design work together here. Player photos become senior posters, team composites, locker decorations, and program covers — all in-house.
06
NJSIAA Experience
Years of covering New Jersey high school athletics means understanding the rhythms of each sport, the rules around sideline access, and how to capture the moments that matter most.

Frequently asked questions
What sports do you photograph?
Football, wrestling, volleyball, field hockey, lacrosse, softball, baseball, basketball, soccer, track and field, gymnastics, and swimming are the most common. If your sport isn't on that list, reach out — covering new sports is always welcome.
Do you work with individual athletes or only teams?
Both. Individual athlete sessions — portrait-style shoots with gear and uniforms — are a specialty. Team-wide coverage with individual ordering galleries for parents is also available. Packages can be tailored to what your program needs.
How do athletes and families receive their photos?
All images are delivered to a private online gallery. For individual sessions, that's a personal gallery for download and print ordering. For team coverage, parents receive individual access codes to order their athlete's images.
Can you cover multiple games or events in a season?
Yes — season packages are available for schools and leagues that want consistent coverage across the year. These are a great fit for varsity programs, booster clubs, or athletic departments with an ongoing photography need.
Do you photograph youth sports, or only high school?
Both. High school athletics is a core specialty, but travel teams, club sports, and recreational leagues are all covered. Somerset County and the surrounding area have strong youth athletic programs, and I cover them with the same approach I use for varsity.
What areas of New Jersey do you serve?
Based in Bridgewater, regularly covering Somerset, Morris, Union, Warren, Middlesex, and Hunterdon counties. Willing to travel statewide for the right event or program.
Do you photograph sports Media Days?
Yes. Media Day portraits and team photos are part of my season partnerships with schools, and can also be booked on their own. Contact me with your roster size and preferred dates.
How much does sports photography cost?
Sports coverage starts at $850, and season packages and recurring event rates are available. See the pricing page for details, or tell me about your team and schedule for a quote.
