There is truly something magical about the energy of high school and collegiate sports. From the anticipation of the first kickoff to the ring of the final whistle, every moment is a story worth telling.

As a photographer based in Southern New Mexico, I’ve set out to capture these stories - the grit, the pride, and the unforgettable atmosphere that fills the stadiums and gyms across our communities.

This season, I’ll be sharing my perspective and highlights from local high school sports teams from the gridiron to the court. Follow me in my journey across Southern New Mexico’s High School sports coverage.

Sports aren’t about the outcome, they’re about the journey. My lens is here to make sure those moments live on.
