Back In The Game

December 11th was the first gymnastics meet I saw of my 9th grade daughter since she started high school gymnastics (competing varsity level). After a rough previous year at club gymnastics, and a lot of injuries, I was extra excited to see her compete. 

Of course I brought my camera.  It was so fun to capture...

The poise she brings to the floor:

The way she floats across the vault:



Suspends herself in mid-air:


Focuses on her lines during her routines:


Her team - the support and camaraderie...and smiles!

Now I try to pick the 'best' shots, but as I look at her performance, there are other great shots of her so figured why not show those as well, like...

Running to the vault:

 Leaping up and forward to snap herself off the vault:


 High on the bars:

 Spinning and landing:


 This seemed like too many shots but I couldn't decide which one to cut. each one has its own uniqueness:






 More suspending in air...this time in a pike position:


 Running all-out to get to tumbling speed:


I've always loved this pose:


and her flexibility:

 ...and of course I love capturing my Julia:
