FIFA Club World Cup/USA Soccer iPhone Dump📱

Whew. What month June was! In addition to 8 FIFA matches, I covered 3 U.S. Soccer matches 😳 So 11 total between June 3rd and July 5th… In 4 different cities and 4 different states.

I can honestly say it’s the most editorial work I’ve ever done in a calendar month (including CMA Fest and Peachtree Road Race during this time!) I was challenged to be better, I had some pretty high highs and some pretty low lows, and I traveled so so much. Lots of driving alone, but getting to hang out with friends and make new friends always makes it worth it!

Covered a total of 15 international clubs (two of them twice), 2 MLS clubs (one of them twice), USMNT, and USWNT x2 in nearly 5 weeks. Couldn’t even tell you how many edits I turned in, though it’s never as many as I want it to be - but I’m getting faster as I fine tune my workflow.

Got to use a Canon R5 Mark II and a RF 400mm f/2.8 for the first time in the FIFA CWC quarterfinal thanks to canonusa ❤️ My images leveled up for that match and I could absolutely tell a huge difference, even with a little bit of a learning curve I still came away totally mind blown with the quality 🤯 

And my trusty thinktankphoto roller travelled with me everywhere making my life so much easier carrying all my gear!! The Venturing Observer was my greatest companion all month 😆 But seriously…

Needless to say, I’m so excited to take a vacation in 2 weeks and jet off to Vegas with my girlies and live our best BSB and Disney life 🤩 (taking a camera but strictly for fun and maybe a few stock photos hahaha) Also, thanks to my husband who’s not even on Instagram, but I couldn’t do this without his support. It’s only this crazy a few times a year, but I’m grateful for him believing in me and being there when I nearly fall apart some days. It’s not an easy job but I love it with all my heart and I don’t take it lightly or for granted that I’ve had some incredible opportunities in the last two years. Thanks to everyone in my circle that I work with and work for, I most definitely couldn’t do it without you. 

And also, FIFA, your communications team was absolutely wonderful! Thank you 🙏
