It was the gold medaled Olympians’ first game back after the Paris 2024 games. During their time away, the Spirit had not seen a victory in three matches. The team and the fans needed some magic against the KC Current, and man, did they get it.

The images I made in this game were all shot on film with a mix of 35mm and 120. The direction from the team was simple - shoot freely and follow your instinct. That’s my favorite type of assignment.

I racked in close to 20,000 steps in the pursuit of highlighting the energy this team brought to Audi Field and to DC. It was a special place to be. From the coaching staff, to the players, to the those working on the field or in the back of the house, the atmosphere was something I hadn’t felt in a long time. Words aren’t my preferred method of describing what I feel, so I hope my feelings come through in the images.
