Jr. Women Prelims – 2010 Visa Championships

One of my goals for myself as a professional photographer was to shoot Nationals as a media-credentialed photographer from the floor of the arena.

::insert lots of smiley faces here::

I am happy and proud to say that it has happened! Anne from Gymnastike generously allowed me to team up with her during her coverage of the event. I will be posting previews (in other words, the photos I just can’t wait to process) of each of the women’s sessions here on my blog and in my Gymnastike photo galleries.

Complete galleries from each session of the meet will be here after the National Champions are crowned Saturday, August 14th!

*I have to give a very special shoutout to my amazing husband here. He puts up with all of my gymnastics craziness and gives me 100% of his support. When he married me I’m not sure he knew he would get dragged around to meets all over the country like the poor little brothers you see toiling away at meets with their backpacks full of books, video games and entertainment for their sister’s 8-hour-long gymnastics meet.

Season debut

I am so behind on this post that the next meet is almost here again! Here are some of my favorites from the meet on Saturday. It was Pitt’s first regular season meet of the year against Kent State and WVU. WVU came out on top this time.

Jessica Byich has a rockin new double layout dismount!

I am in LOVE with this photo

The full gallery from the meet is here. Pitt’s next meet is Friday night against Ohio State. See you there!

Blue vs. Gold

Pitt Gymnastics – Blue vs. Gold…no scores were posted, so we don’t know who won! This is more of a picture post anyway, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. The freshman looked ready to contribute to the lineup, Alicia Talucci looks even better than she did last year (and I am really liking this year’s floor routine), Jessica Byich upgraded her bar dismount to a double layout (it’s good!), and every class wore a different leotard to compete in.

Check out the full gallery of the meet and enjoy the little preview below.

If you’re into the complete multimedia experience, you can check out my videos from the meet as well! Our new HD video camera is getting some use and some love.

I love basics!

This might be a little boring to any non-gymnastics people reading (and it might not make any sense either), but…I love basics! Basics demonstrate your complete mastery of the sport and give your gymnastics an edge that makes you stand out from the crowd.

So, since I love basics, I loved this little gymnast from the Season’s Greetings meet on Saturday. She had great basics, great form and really sold her routines…so refreshing! She stood out among all of the gymnasts there and was in a class of her own. Such a cutie!
