I had the pleasure of photographing Hailey's basketball game as my first sports photography outing on February 9, 2013.

Needless to say, sports photography is challenging! I definitely appreciate the hard work of sports photographers now. Take lots of pictures! Not all of them will turn out like you think!

It was so funny watching the little kids play basketball, especially when it hit them in the head but they're tough kids. It was tiring just to see them run up and down the court for 45 minutes. Remember when you could do that, too?

Hailey had a "tongue thing" going on that day for some reason. Check out the pics, and have a few laughs.

She was probably the smallest one on the court that day. She also had to keep pulling up her shorts. Maybe next time, she can wear suspenders. Hmmmmmm......

She's a cutie, though, isn't she?
