 If I don’t have a wedding to photograph on the weekend, you’ll find me standing on the sidelines of one sport or another, photographing my children and their teammates.  Rain, snow, wind….it doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t miss it. 

Dalton’s Eastlake Wolves Rookie Football Team Red had an UNDEFEATED season.  This past weekend, I got the chance to photograph something extra special, A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!  At 9am on the ice covered turf of Mt. Si High School, these boys did what they had been taught to do all season long…..”Play like Champions!”  In front of about 250 fans, 37 Eastlake Cheerleaders, and with my husband coaching the defense, I watched the Eastlake boys defeat Lake Washington 12-0 in a shut out.  Our team lead the league in points scored (245) and fewest points scored against (45).

Heading to the end zone!  Touchdown!

 

 

This LW Kang thought he was going to score…but Dalton got him from behind.

What a season….and what an honor to be able to capture photos of these boys from the sideline.  They handled each victory with class and made each and every coach and parent so proud.  Way to go Eastlake Wolves Rookie Red Champions!  For more on the team, you can see an article published in the paper at the following link.
