Since my page has received more traffic since the football season started I will introduce myself and give a little more info about the mama behind the camera.

My name is Tricia

I am a mama to two kids (11 and 9) and a bonus daughter (17).

I survive on caffeine and snacks.

When I am not editing/ taking pics, I enjoy a good book or 10.

For the last 16 years I have had a variety of Canon DSLR Cameras. This photo page is new for me.

My girl is normally my "assistant" my guy doesn't like to tag along as much.

I was with the cheer and football scene for the last four years with the Bradley Lions (daughter was a cheerleader/ son in football).
My son decided to take a break from football and my daughter found that she enjoys theater more.

I was never really a sports person until my kids started them and we became close to many of the families .
Sports I have captured:
Football, cheer ( & cheer comp), volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer, and swimming. I have also captured some marching band shots.

I absolutely love getting action shots and pics that a parent in the stand may not be able to get. (No worries, I am here to help with that!)

Any team sports I capture, is on a volunteer basis. I have not been "hired "by any specific team. I am just thankful the organizations let me on the sidelines to do what I love to do.

Once the batch of photos are complete they will be posted on a photo link that will be shared.
Photo downloads are FREE.
If you do wish to donate, it is appreciated, but completely optional!!
Venmo:

If donating isn't an option for you, no big deal! I ask that you tag "Just a Mama with a Camera" when you share any pics!
One of the biggest compliments someone could give is to share what I have captured! ๐Ÿ’œ

-If you made it this far, thank you for reading and for your support!

From football to first birthdays it has been a jam packed day!

A former teammate's mama asked if I could squeeze in some game pics today. I always forget how out of shape I am till I do an outrageous amount of squats to capture the shots.

This afternoon I was able to attend a very special first birthday party for the sweetest little thing!

More pictures to come!
So thankful to be able to capture these moments!

I spent this past Saturday at the Bradley Lions Field.
I have been to every game and almost every practice since 2021 with a kid on the field or cheering on the sidelines. This game was the first one I haven't had a kid with a uniform on. It was bittersweet but I couldn't miss the first game!

Here is a link with the pictures I was able to capture for Superlights.

Two years of spice, sass, and stealing hearts. ๐Ÿ’•โœจ

Some little girls are made of sugar and spice... this sweet birthday girl definitely added an extra sprinkle of sass! ๐ŸŒธ
