Really, really excited to join the talented creative team at
@Royals
as a contract photographer this baseball season. I admire the hell out of them and can’t wait to contribute whatever I’m able. Thanks for four great seasons, MLB!

Ian Poulter plays his shot from in front of the cenote on the seventh fairway during the second round of LIV Golf Mayakoba.

This might be my favorite usage ever of a photo I’ve taken. Helmets off to

social and the respondents that made me cry laughing with this thread.
We found this photo of Benny running out of his helmet and felt like he needed a buddy.
Flex those photoshop skills and show us who should be running next to him in his helmet.

She does realize that Ryan Adams payed royalties to Swift for that album, right? He didn’t just straight up make 100% of the money for “his work”...
The napping kid is me today, after photographing for 24 of the last 48 hours at the
#Big12MBB
Tournament at Sprint Center. I'm in dire need of a nap before semis tonight.
A napkin holder in the upper deck appears to have burst open and the napkins shot out like a pack of bats escaping from a cave.
They are now swirling about in the Kansas City air.
I cannot emphasize this enough: there are napkins absolutely everywhere.
I’ve been a Rangers fan my whole life. Born and raised in Dallas, watched the 2011 WS heartbreak while surrounded by Cardinals fans in Columbia, Mo… this feels so good. Congrats, boys. Texas forever 🤠💙❤️
I have now been a homeowner and social recluse for 365 days!! Maybe someday we will be done doing DIY renovations and some of you will see this place (or me) in person.

We're taking the opportunity to highlight the work of the amazing women on our Live Content team. They're the boots on the ground, capturing the iconic content you see daily on MLB social accounts.
We asked them to share some of their favorite work.👇
For an embarrassingly long time I believed good things come to those who wait so I expected happiness to find me. I’ve finally gained enough confidence to realize great things come to those who ASK. So if you’re needing a sign: send that email, make the call, ~try for that thing~
I may or may not have teared up in the middle of photographing this. These humans are an 11/10 on the cute scale - thanks for letting me capture this moment for you. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together 💕
Usually our trips to Kansas City revolve around BBQ. This one was different.
I love you. I adore you. I surprised you (somehow). And I cannot wait to marry you,

On the field, off the field, on the sidelines, in the press box, online, etc. ... support women, trans, queer, and non-binary folx in sports.
Thankful for those who paved the way, those who are currently working and fighting, and those to come. We are stronger together.

Writing a cover letter and looking back at old applications for ideas reminded me of an internship application response I got post-grad telling me I’d never make it in this industry because I lacked integrity… because I had a blog *photoshopping cats into news photographs* 🙃
On this International Women's Day I would like to thank the patriarchy for keeping talented women out of the field of sports journalism bc the line for the women's media level bathroom at the Big XII Tournament is nonexistent.
I talked to
@Ticketmaster
(
@meganKarmstrong
) about what it was like to work in an empty sports stadium this season and how my team and I adapted to COVID protocols to keep bringing meaningful comment to your social feeds.

Alykhan Ravjiani (

) says Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the first player to welcome him into the clubhouse. In the past two-plus seasons, the team has grown accustomed to seeing Ravjiani every day and looks forward to his presence at the ballpark👇
Four years ago I was on the verge of giving up on photojournalism. Three years ago I blogged about it and the hardest year of my career. Today, I'm employed full-time and am on my way to cover the Big 12 Championship game for USA Today. This life is a good one worth waiting for.

I had stage 1B2 cervical cancer in 2015. Treatment was a radical hysterectomy at age 24. I still don’t feel like a true “cancer survivor” bc of my ability to have had surgery vs chemo/radiation. J’s appropriation is SO problematic.
What do professional soccer and politics have in common? Probably nothing, other than the fact that I've photographed a lot of both lately and just put some fresh frames up on my blog, if you feel inclined to peek:
@ajonesi
This is one of the things I dislike about LCCing - we’re not supposed to do in-game edits but a lot of teams don’t do any and then pics end up with sad horizons and bad/no crops 😭
@emfails
A bad look for everyone involved, tbh. There are inconveniences for everyone at events and working around them in a professional way is a big part of the job. Should you be spatially aware? Yes. Is it annoying when someone gets in your way? Yes. Should you ever touch someone? No.
Every eight weeks I get a bill like this from my gastroenterologist’s office after receiving the IV medication needed to keep my ulcerative colitis in remission. EVERY. EIGHT. WEEKS. Eventually I meet my annual out-of-pocket insurance max, but still... absurd.
Spent Saturday evening at Allen Fieldhouse capturing the game against WVU and admittedly had a great time. Please don't strip my Mizzou diploma from me.
