First the first time in over 30 years, my crew and I have not done youth spring sports photographs for families!  The Coronavirus outbreak has resulted in the largest disruption to all our schools, churches, sporting events, businesses, and families in ways we never thought possible since World War II. 

It saddened us when our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter Sophia was signed up to play soccer with the Smithville Clinic teams and all events were canceled!  We had purchased her soccer shorts, shoes, etc., But Don’t Despair!  I went ahead and took her soccer photographs anyway.  Enjoy some of her images in the slideshow.  Sophia is also 17 months post liver transplant recipient!  She’s Our Miracle Baby!  Thank You to the Medical Professionals of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.  2020 is a Year To Remember!  I would also like to thank all that we have served in the youth sports programs in the past 30 years!  We wish the best to all families and God’s Blessings!
