I’m David Hastings and, like you, I’m a parent who enjoys watching my child succeed. I’m also a coach and a photographer who is passionate about capturing that moment of success. 

I’ve been coaching professionally since 1984. I’ve had the privilege of training and watching high school and middle school athletes shine as they combine their God-given talents with listening skills and good attitudes.

I’ve also been a photographer for nearly 35 years. Because I love sports, it only makes sense that I use my skills to bring the best of athletics and photography together.

Understanding the nuances of the sport is key to getting quality photos. Whether it’s jumping hurdles in track and field or serving for match point in tennis, this intimate understanding helps me to know my subject.

After being a coach for more than 25 years, I know my subject well. I know the ins-and-outs of both the sport and the athlete.  This knowledge, based on my experience and my love of the game, opens the door for me to capture excellent shots with a creative touch.

Anticipate

Anticipation is important for most photographers, but it’s especially crucial in sports photography. My ability to accurately anticipate means I can be a step ahead of the athlete and ensures that I catch an amazing shot.

I invite you to view my portfolio to view some of my work. You can email me or give me a call to see how I can help you capture special memories of your young athlete that will bring you joy for years to come.
