Photographing gymnastics for the first time was an absolute blast! I had a ton of fun and there are so many opportunities for good photos, I’ll definitely be back for more later this season. (Eldon Lindsay/Cornell Athletics)

Cornell Sports Late-Winter Update

February 15, 2019

It’s been an extremely busy winter, attempting to photograph and film as many as events as humanly possible on an Ivy League weekend schedule. So here’s a few of my favorite frames from the past couple weeks from the following: a gymnastics home invite, men’s ice hockey vs Harvard and St. Lawrence, women’s basketball vs Princeton, wrestling vs Lock Haven, Penn and Princeton (for an Ivy League Title!) and last, but not least, just two frames from baseball practice. #YellCornell

The Cornell Big Red wrestling team went on a weekend road trip to battle Ivy League opponents Brown and Harvard this past weekend and I had the distinct pleasure to travel with the team to capture some photo and video.

I haven’t been shooting a great deal of still photos this fall, but here is a quick gallery of a few of my favorites from the beginning of the year. It spans a few different sports, a couple coaches portraits and plenty of jube. #YellCornell

Cornell Women's Tennis Practice

October 3, 2018

Had the pleasure to shoot the Big Red women’s tennis practice last night! The Reis Tennis Center is a fantastic facility and being a former tennis player, it was nice just to be around the court and hear some strings get bent. Here’s a few frames from practice. #YellCornell

Big Red Volleyball - Cornell Invitational Recap

September 2, 2018

After a summer full of preparation for my new role at Cornell University in the Athletic Communications Department, I finally got to shoot some frames (still and video) this weekend as we hosted our first set of home games for volleyball.

After weekend number one, I'm very excited for what's next! #YellCornell

Paul & Tiffanie

September 1, 2018

I got an email on Thursday from Paul with the subject line, "Saturday Surprise." I'm normally not much of a fan of surprises, but after an introductory sentence, Paul goes on to tell the tale of his grand idea to propose to his girlfriend of almost 5 years on Saturday somewhere along the Gorge Trail at Buttermilk Falls State Park. I'm instantly onboard for this surprise…

Upper Buttermilk Falls State Park - Morning Hike

July 8, 2018

This week's hike was at Upper Buttermilk Falls State Park just south of Ithaca, NY and the weather could not have been more perfect! It's been in the 90's all week and it finally relented for the weekend and gave me the opportunity to hike through the upper part of the park, see Lake Treman (from the ground and the air) and enjoy the outdoors! I hope you enjoy - cheers!

Libe Slope on Cornell University's campus was about half full for a 15-minute fireworks show taking place in Ithaca, NY on July 3, 2018.

Fourth of July Fireworks at Cornell University

July 4, 2018

Short blog tonight with a few highlight images from the Ithaca, NY community Fourth of July fireworks show, as seen from Libe Slope on the Cornell University campus. I was hoping for a better angle to include the clock tower and the fireworks, but no complains with a couple nice before photos of the clock tower, a couple fireworks shots of the crowd on Libe Slope and one shot of the clock tower as the crowd retreated from the bugs. Happy Fourth of July!

The beauty of Buttermilk Falls State Park definitely captured my attention on this beautiful Saturday in June.

Buttermilk Falls State Park - Afternoon Hike

June 16, 2018

Colleagues highly suggested Buttermilk Falls State Park as my next destination after last week's hike at Watkins Glen. So with some sunshine in the forecast and my camera in-hand, I set out to the south side of Ithaca to see what all the fuss was about!

November Flight

Nick & Jordan

I am normally a bit reclusive on my birthday each year, using the time to reflect back on a life already well-lived and celebrate all of my blessings. So- only for Nick (and Jordan) would I come out of seclusion to ‘work’ on my yearly trip around the sun…

Alex & Caroline

One of my favorite things to photograph is surprise engagements. There’s something about being in on the secret and getting to share in just an ounce of the joy after they say ‘Yes!’

After weeks of planning and rearranging, I was finally able to photograph Alex proposing to Caroline at Stewart Park in Ithaca, NY! Spoiler alert: she said, “YES!”

So in honor of the newly-engaged couple, here are a few photos from the surprise engagement, as well as some planned portraits a few days later in Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg, NY.

Congratulations, Alex & Caroline! I wish you nothing but the absolute best in your journey in life together! Cheers!

Cornell Graduate - Milik Dawkins

Presenting Milik Dawkins - a Michigan native and 2020 Cornell graduate from the prestigious ILR School! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Milik several times prior to this, as he wrestled for the Big Red during his years at Cornell. But I’m most excited to see what comes next as he moves on from East Hill. Best of luck, Milik! — e

Sunset at Cornell University

Cornell University is gorgeous (pun intended) and when the sun sets on Cayuga Lake and the city of Ithaca, the buildings on campus sing with beauty. It’s really something to behold. Here’s a few pictures from last night’s stroll through campus and the sunset. Cheers! — e

Cornell Campus Walk

It’s been a looong time since I’ve been able to walk through the campus here at Cornell, so I took about an hour today to walk through some of the main corridors of central campus and knock some of the dust off my camera. Enjoy! — e

Senior Photos - Natalie Carlson

Senior photos are one of the most fun and exciting things (besides sports) that I get to photograph. Each senior has their own style and energy and I usually can get that to shine through in the photos. WELL FOLKS! This one is no different, in fact, this particular shoot has a special place in my heart as it’s my niece, Natalie!

Ivy League Tournament - Cornell Women's Basketball

The Cornell Big Red women’s basketball team earned their place in the Ivy League tournament and I was fortunate enough to travel with the team to document the event. The tournament was hosted by Yale in New Haven, CT. Day one included media interviews and a televised shoot around and day two was game day vs Princeton. The Big Red fell just short of advancing, but I loved being able to spend some time with the team and getting to know the coaches, staff and student-athletes better. I can’t wait to see what this team has in store next season! #YellCornell

Shooting Star : Matt Morgan

Matt Morgan is now the all-time leading scorer in Cornell University men’s basketball history and this quick photo blog features the portrait photography session with TheRealMM10 in Newman Arena in Ithaca, NY.

Four Sports - One Weekend

It was an exciting time for Cornell Sports in Ithaca this past weekend, as we hosted a plethora of home events including an indoor track & field meet, women’s ice hockey games vs Brown and Yale, a women’s tennis match (and HUGE win) against Colorado and a pair of men’s basketball games vs Brown and Yale.
I had the distinct pleasure of running from event-to-event and photographing the Cornell student-athletes. I feel like I walked away having made some really nice pictures - I hope you enjoy! #YellCornell
