This fall, the Clarke County Crew soccer team has come into their own, with their first winning season to date. Cam has played a variety of roles, from offense, to midfield to defense depending on the needs of the team. The one place he hasn’t been is in goal, which is OK with me after several seasons of nail-biting nervousness on the sidelines. Thanks to nice fall weather and a flexible schedule, I’ve had an opportunity to photograph most of […]

The Emotion of Soccer

September 16, 2013 by Tricia Booker Photography

At last weekend’s soccer game, a parent thanked me for photographing the games and her son. She said she really appreciated seeing all of the emotions and the intensity of the players that you don’t usually notice while watching the game. This year the Clarke County Crew U-14 Travel Team, now in their second year, has improved dramatically. And, I’m seeing more and more of those emotions through the lens as the players realize they’re not just participating but also […]

A Lesson Learned: Nikon D800 For Sports

August 25, 2013 by Tricia Booker Photography

After spending the summer shooting more than 12,000 images for work and play, I realized that for 90 percent of those photographs I reached for the Nikon D800 (I have the E version) over my tried and true D3s. I purchased the D800 earlier in the year to primarily be my landscape and nature camera. Like many people, I’d read countless reviews about the camera before buying it, how its 36 megapixel sensor would need the best glass and the […]

Grand Finale

June 9, 2013 by Tricia Booker Photography

The Clarke County Crew team had their final game of the year this afternoon, and it was one of their best efforts of the season. Against a tough Loudoun team on their home turn, the Crew dug in and played hard to post a victory 3-1. In addition to enduring a hot and humid June day, the players (and spectators) had to deal with a bizarre termite swarm that engulfed everyone in flying insects midway through the game. It’s been […]

Cam Scores

May 6, 2013 by Tricia Booker Photography

Cameron scored his first goal of the season during Sunday’s game against the TAFC America Eagles. After playing goalie the first half of the game, I think he was happy to get out to the front of the field to stretch his legs. Last week he played goalie the entire game, so the freedom to run was a nice change of pace for him. He certainly slept much better that night!

Tough Day

April 21, 2013 by Tricia Booker Photography

The Clarke County Crew had a tough game in Fredericksburg, Virginia this afternoon. Even though Cam tried his best to defend the goal throughout the game, the FASA Classic Hotspur Plus team was on fire and dominated, with a talented offense that could successfully score from all over the field. Cam had some wonderful saves, and, with help from his pal Robbie who plays defense, he did the best he could in a difficult game where it seemed he was […]

This spring season Cam returned to his roots as one of the goalies for his Clarke County Crew travel soccer team. A few years ago, he was the starting goalie for his Loudoun Lads team, but when he moved out West last fall he was tapped for his scoring ability. As a veteran soccer Mom, I was relieved that he was no longer in the goal. It was always so nerve-wracking watching much larger boys barreling toward him, knowing that Cam’s […]

True Teamwork

October 24, 2012 by Tricia Booker Photography

It’s been great fun photographing Cam’s soccer games this season. He didn’t play last year, and I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed shooting the games until I started again. Although the Clarke County Crew lost to an incredibly talented ODFC NOVA Legends 99 Elite team 8-1, they still tried hard, especially at the end of the game when they rallied for their lone score. It was heartwarming to see how thrilled they were to finally get a ball in […]

Soccer Time

September 11, 2012 by Tricia Booker Photography

After a break from soccer for the past year, Cameron returned to the field as a member of the new U13 Clarke County Crew travel team in the Old Dominion Soccer League. They had their first game on Sunday, September 9, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, against FSCI Phoenix White. Despite being down 1-0 at halftime, the Crew fought back hard and didn’t give up. Their two second-half goals left them ahead 2-1 at the end of the game, which resulted in […]
