Sports Photography in Council Bluffs at its Finest


Bahnsen Park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, is a small, three field complex. We were invited out there on a weeknight at sunset to capture some photography of a freshman softball player at the local Council Bluffs high school. We had an idea in mind to use some off-camera flash to really darken the background and bring out a dramatic look to the photos. It worked out great! The sunset had a great mix of clouds to really capture the warm light as the sun began to set over the tree line in the outfield for some excellent sports portraits in Council Bluffs.

Lay in All Out on the Field


While much of our sports photography is dedicated to individual and team volume photography, we really love these one-off sessions to expand our creativity and try out some more modern styles. Our player was a pitcher and a first baseman, so naturally we had to capture some action style photos of her doing what she does best!
