If you love to take pictures of your children or even if you are a bad picture taker....everyone loves to see the pictures of your children playing sports! When I take the pictures, it's usually from afar and can barely see faces. But the past couple of years, many photographers have came to games and taken close-ups of all the kids playing. It's awesome! I love the action shots, seeing the sweat drop down their faces or their faces during a "glory moment"!
I decided to look a few photographers up that do this type of work along with those who take snap shots or produce a "story" for your child of their big day!
This past summer, while at one of children's baseball tournament, St. Louis Digital was there! They were awesome...had a tent set up with computers to scroll through all the pic's of the weekend. Their prices were pretty expensive but they offered so many products with your child in action! One of my favorites was an action poster....it looked like a pro athlete's poster you would purchase in a store. (but again...pricey!)
Here's a link to their site..... http://www.stldigital.com/stldigital/Action_Event_Photos.html
Studio Altius is a lot like them...they are the official CYC sports photographers. Take a look at their work and compare prices, very similar. http://www.athletephotography.com/
Kowal Photography is a much smaller company but offers still photos and action photos as well. A la carte, their prices are good! http://www.kowalphotography.com/
St. Louis Sports Photo is also a smaller company but offers still photos and action photos too. He's pretty awesome, doesn't charge to photograph games etc...no obligation to purchase...just inform him of game time and he will be there! Wow!!! http://stlsportsphoto.com/index.html
If you're looking for an awesome high school sports photographer, look no further than Nordmann's...since 1993! Amazing pictures! Follow their facebook page also! http://www.nordmannsports.com/
There are a few photographers who do still photos only...for teams and individuals...fairly priced.

The one I really like...but does not have her photos up as of yet due to construction on her site...is Jessica Ebeler Photography. She has attended many of my children's sporting events and produced pictures for me that tell a story of my child's day from beginning to end! She focused only on them and captured facial expressions that told me what they were thinking. She froze time for me and when I look back at those pictures, I can see my child's character within...his determination, his perseverance, his doubt, his glory! She's down to earth and extremely well priced! Just take a minute to call her...you'll see why I feel this way! Not only did she photograph our children in sports but later led to family pictures, etc...lol. :) Check her out....http://www.jessicaebeler.com/ (Her site in under construction right now but take a look at her facebook page in the mean time) http://www.facebook.com/playkidsports#!/jessicaebelerphotography
Hope you enjoyed my sports photography run-down! :) I just love seeing the sports pics!!! Hope you do too!
