Whether you are a Saints fan or would love to see Peyton and Co. get another win, it should be a great game tonight. Here’s Clare’s game face. And yes…she bites.
An invite was sent out at Chris’ work for a broomball tournament hosted at Brenton Skating Park in downtown Des Moines. I was asked to come and photograph the late night event. For those unfamiliar with broomball it is simply defined as hockey minus the skates. There are 6 people on a team. 1 goalie (see our brickwall below) and 5 others used for offense/defense. The interesting part about this is it’s played late at night. And late at night meant the first game started at 10:20pm and second game was at 1:20am. It was a great time that included zero serious injuries. I consider that a win! We lost the first game but since this was double elimination we had to win the next game to stay in the tournament. So we pushed on and won the second game ending it in double overtime through a goalie shoot out. Props go out to Jariah Walker for landing us the win! Thanks for the good time and enjoy the photographs!
Our Brickwall/Goalie: Jared
He may be slow but he strikes fear into the heart of the opponents: Chris
Broomball bandit: Matt
Walks softly and carries a big stick: Jeremy
More of the crew: Jariah, Doug, Holly and Erin
Flying V?
Jared seriously had about 50 saves. Amazing.
There were people that took this game a little more seriously than others. Custom jerseys and helments? Seriously? They had a game directly following ours so they watched on. One of them turned to his friend while I was photographing and pointed at my camera + lens and said, “It’s a little overkill dontcha think?”. An interesting comment as his whole team had the custom jersey + helmets + sticks thing going on. And this is all for a weekend amateur broomball outing? A cool photograph nonetheless.
Team photo op!
Official sponsor of the game?
I’m just not sure what to make of our new sculpture garden. Some of the sculptures are very creepy and seem to have jumped right out of a Beetlejuice sequel. We decided to travel downtown to get a few shots since the snow was coming down. We also got a few of the kids that I wanted to share. Have a great weekend!

We’d like to do an on location shoot within the next week or two and need a couple to volunteer. This would be located in the Des Moines area and would include free photographs for your time! Our one stipulation is that we ask that it be a couple that we haven’t yet photograph’d. They can be married, engaged or neither! As long as they like each other *wink* we do not mind. We’d love to see some fresh faces! So, if you or someone you know someone wouldn’t mind getting shot, let us know. Shoot us an email and we’ll hammer out the details! Look forward to seeing who responds! To email click here ———-> sarah@lucky-soda.com <————
