Welcome to the CGM Photography blog. This blog is an extension of the CGM Photography web site, created by Grant and Ginny Munroe. This blog is a collection of some of our favorite shots as we photo document events, scenes, and people in and around Culver. We have also included shots from our travels outside of Culver.
From weddings, to senior pictures, to our travels up and down the country roads surrounding Culver, we hope you enjoy some of what we have captured. To us, these pictures represent the memories we feel fortunate to create with our our family members and friends, our clients, and each other. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed capturing them.

Tonight, I photographed the CMA Freshman Basketball Team as they played Rochester High School at Culver Academies’ campus. The game started out looking as though Culver might have been a little out matched. However, after a couple of minutes, the CMA Eagles found their groove. Though Culver trailed most of the game and only took the lead one or twice for around 15-30 seconds, Culver pulled it out in the 4th quater. With a minute and half left in the game, Culver took the lead and held it until the end. It was a great game to witness.
I’ve posted some photos here. The rest of the photos from the game are posted on the CulverPhotos.com website at:

This past weekend, the CMA and CGA fencing teams hosted their annual fencing invitational, which brings several hundred kids attend from all over the Midwest to Culver. For this event, the Culver Academies’ Gymnasium is turned into a massive fencing arena with over 40 fencing “slips” set up in different areas so that 80-90 kids can compete simultaneously. It was a madhouse to try and track and locate the Academies’ students as every competitor essentially wears the same uniform. To make matters more difficult, some of the students had protective gear that covered their Culver Academy patch. I had a hard time ensuring that I was following the correct students.
I’ve posted some photos here. Other photos are uploaded to the CulverPhotos website at:

This past Friday night, I ventured out in the snow and cold to watch the CGA Polo Team as they hosted a polo team from Atlanta. The CGA girls played hard, but they were a little outmatched by the team from Atlanta. Though CGA lost, the game was still fun to watch as there was lot of action and excitement.
I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here. Additional photos are uploaded at the CulverPhotos website at:

One of my favorite things to do is photograph horses. Photographing them during the jumping shows/tournaments is a lot of fun, though the lighting in the arena is so tricky. I’ve been experimenting with camera settings, lenses, and software-editing tools. I have finally found some combinations that I like. The Culver jumping team members do an amazing job at these tournaments. If you haven’t seen them compete, you should come out and watch them, as they perform well and represent Culver like true champions. And the horses aren’t too bad either!
