Alyssa's new gear

     Last week we received a phone call from one of our good friends and the subject of a few of our blog posts Alyssa Fencil. She called to notify us that she had gained another sponsor on her road to becoming a Paralympic athlete in the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo Japan and that she would be needing new uniform photo.  As she described her new sponsor the TKDSCORE which is the Midwest distributor for Daedo, Wacoku and Truescore athletic gear for competitions, we could hear the joy in her voice as this is one thing off the list of things she doesn’t have to worry about.
     It makes us really happy at Vagabond Photography to see one of our long-term friends and clients making head way as an athlete in their sport. We also hope you'll take the time to follow her journey on her Facebook's athletes profile.

Lambdin Camp Seminar - Round 2

     Over the weekend I traveled back to Stevens Point Wisconsin to cover Lambdin Camp Round Two. This year, Olympian Stephen Lambdin came back to teach a taekwondo camp for martial arts athletes in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The event was hosted by Paralympic hopeful Alyssa Fencil along with Five Ring Martial Arts of Steven Point.
     It was a fun weekend and it was nice to be able to sit down with Stephen and hear about how his year has been. We were also able to photograph some of last year’s young athletes and see how they have progressed sense we have seen them last. The one thing that I have always been amazed with from athletes, is to see how they learn a move or a new technique at one seminar and then you don’t see them for eight months to a year and then you get to see how they have integrated that move/technique into their sport.
     I cannot wait to do this camp again it is always so much fun and over time, the people that come to these events become great friends.

Follow your dreams

Following your dreams and committing to your goals.

     Over the weekend we had the opportunity to help our long time client and good friend Alyssa along her way to do just that.
     Alyssa is an accomplished Taekwondo athlete with hopes and aspirations of going on to bigger and larger tournaments with the possibility of qualifying for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. The one thing we cannot help admire about her is a while back she was diagnosed with MS(Multiple Sclerosis) and that hasn’t slowed her down one bit. 
     We wish her all the best along the way.
     Below is a few of her photos from her session. If you want to know more about her you can follow her journey at her Facebook page Alyssa F.
