Within the last year I have starting running road races. It all started out with one 5k that promised free beer after the race with friends and family and lead to many more and further and further distances. I ran my first half marathon back in April and am currently training for my second in October; along with a few members of my kickboxing team and my badass brother (who will be running his first half marathon that day) as well. I started to think about merging my two loves of running and photographing people, maybe I should give photographing people running a try and boom! The next day a childhood friend of my father’s facebooked me that a trail race in her town was looking for a volunteer photographer. I jumped right on it. I love the idea of volunteer work, especially if it benefits children and education. It was strange to be at a race for the first time and not actually be running in it but, I had such a fun day of non-stop photographing cute kids having precious moments with friends and family, karate demonstrations, a kids fun run, cute pups, and lots of folks trail running. Thanks to the Exeter Day School for having me, it was a blast.
