Had a great time shooting the girls and boys IHSAA state swimming finals this month at the IUPUI Natatorium. There's so much energy, strength and effort in the kids and parents. Plus, I love the nat because it's so warm inside. It makes me miss my long lost love, Florida! Check out more pictures after the jump>>
