Junior Olympics and Reader of the Week

Today I photographed the Lake County Junior Olympics and a reader of the week portrait.  I spent the better part of the morning shooting field events then photographed a few track events afterwards.  Most of the kids there have ran before or shown interest in track but some kids never even ran before the event.  After the Junior Olympics, I photographed the reader of the week for next week.  She is a pastor who used to be a nurse in the Army and a working nurse in Ohio.  She decided after that work she wanted to devote her time to faith and became a pastor of the North Mentor Centenary United Methodist Church.
