Culver Academy Photos: Bryan DeVries
Last week I did a quick formal photo shoot with Culver Academy student Bryan DeVries in Culver’s beautiful Legion Building. This was a quick, fun photo shoot as we were going for a specific shot to match some framed photos of Bryan’s sister and brother that are already hanging in his home.
Indiana Senior Pictures: Colleen
A couple of weeks ago, Ginny and I met up with Colleen, a senior who wanted to have her senior photos taken here in Culver. Colleen was a lot of fun to work with because, as she says, “She likes what is unconventional.” Colleen had some fresh ideas for taking her senior shots, so we let her lead the way. Along the way, we discovered that she’s a brilliant young woman with a bright future. Ginny wanted to try some new shots, too, as she had some black and whites in mind once she heard Colleen liked that style. So, we played around with some new sun shots (believe it or not, it was actually out for awhile here in Culver). Overall, we had a lot fun with Colleen’s outfits, ideas, and her mom who accompanied us. We are looking forward to hearing about how she does in college and beyond. Good luck, Colleen!
CMA Baseball Senior Regonition
On Saturday, The Culver Academy Baseball team recognized its graduating seniors in a pre-game ceremony where the players are introduced and escorted onto the field with their parents. It is a neat tradition that I wish Culver had when I attended many years ago.

CGA Varsity Softball Photos: Culver Academy vs. South Bend St. Joseph
The other day, I photographed the CGA Varsity Softball team as they hosted South Bend St. Joseph. It was a little overcast and sprinkling (have we not had our share of rain this year?), but with a few camera adjustments, I was still able to get some nice shots. The Lady Eagles struggled, but they never stopped having fun or let the score get them down.

CMA JV Lacrosse Photos: Culver Academy vs. Carmel
On Saturday, the CMA JV Lacrosse team hosted Carmel High School for a lacrosse game played on Oliver Field. The weather was bad with the possibility of rain coming in; this kept me from shooting the entire game. Culver struggled and never quite seemed to get in synch.
I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here. Other photos are located at:

Culver Academy Photos: Pre-Senior Dinner Dance
On Friday night, Ginny and I went to campus to get some photos of the Academy seniors before they departed for their Senior Dinner Dance, which equivalent to most High School Senior Proms. A lot of parents show up to take pictures, too. We were on a mission to get a picture of a couple of students whose senior shots we had taken. It was fun for us, but it also made us think back on our own senior dinner dances. We concluded that they are much cooler now!

Indiana Senior Photos: Kyle Vandeputte
A couple of days ago, I shot Senior photos for local CCHS student Kyle Van Deputte. Kyle is heavily involved in school activities and sports and looks forward to the next phase of his adult life. As the son of Culver’s local Assistent Fire Chief, there are some strong expectations for Kyle. I think he will have no problem meeting them.
An hour before the shoot, I considered calling off the session because it was cloudy and overcast and didn’t look like we’d have very good weather for the shoot. The old joke that if you don’t like the weather in Indiana, wait an hour, couldn’t have been more true. Sixty minutes later, the morning haze and cloud cover had blown off and made for a nice a day. I tried some new lighting techniques on the golf course and was thrilled to get some cool shots of Kyle putting and swinging. I wish him all the luck for a great end to his senior year. I look forward to following his progress after Culver, as he’s a great young man and has great role models for parents.
CMA Varsity Baseball Photos: Culver Academy vs. North Miami
On Wednesday, the Culver Academy Varsity Baseball team continued its winning streak as the team hosted North Miami High School. The game started slow with North Miami scoring the first few points. However, Culver came together and took control of the game. The final score was Culver-15, North Miami-5.
I’ve posted a few posted here. Other photos from the game are posted at:

CMA Rugby Photos: Culver Academy Varsity vs. Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger
Yesterday, I photographed the Culver Academy’s varsity rugby team as they hosted Fort Wayne’s Bishop Dwenger for an evening game at Fleet Field. Though Culver had a few players with injuries, they played exceptionally well. After scoring within the first minute of the game, they lead the entire game and won 30 to 10.
I’ve posted some photos here. There are a couple hundred more photos posted at:
