Though I definitely don't consider myself a professional when it comes to sports photography, I had the incredible opportunity to capture some beautiful moments of my friend Ashton as he gears up for his upcoming MMA fight.
From intense training sessions to relentless workouts, Ashton is putting in hard work every single day to prepare for the Dynasty 135lb championship fight in June. Capturing these behind-the-scenes moments was truly an honor, and it has given me a newfound appreciation for the incredible athletes who step into the ring.
When I watch MMA with my husband I always joke that my favorite part is when the fighters hug at the end of the fight. There's beauty in the mutual respect of that moment, and capturing that essense in Ashton's training was amazing. The mental aspect of this sport is just as impressive to me as the physical - and Ashton's got it all.
Please join me in celebrating Ashton's unwavering spirit and amazing commitment to his craft. Let's cheer him on as he gets ready to showcase his skills and make us all proud!
