As most of you know, I’m not a sports photographer. But, I have two daughters that are pretty active, so it’s my duty to capture their activities. Since Hannah “retired” from gymnastics, she’s been wanting to try soccer. We signed her up for the fall season.
Her first practice started on Monday at the Rivera Middle School in Merced, playing for the “Strikers”. It should be a fun season as both of us (Hannah and I) are brand new at soccer.
