Hunter's 12-Year-Old Portrait

A favorite from my son's 12-year-old portrait session in The Vista in Columbia. He is enjoying playing AAU basketball.

He is so good about these portrait sessions. Doesn't complain about having his picture taken at all. We've done one each year since he's been born.

Making History

This past weekend's assignment took me to Greenville to cover South Carolina's NCAA tournament games. 

Below, head coach Frank Martin, left, and Chris Silva celebrate inside the locker room after beating Duke in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday.

I've never seen a team play defense like the Gamecocks did. They could have beaten anyone in the country. 

Clemson Flag on Statehouse Dome

Was asked earlier this week by several Clemson fans to document the their flag on the statehouse dome in downtown Columbia.

Could not believe we got an orange sky.

Muchamp Family Portrait-Columbia SC Photographer Travis Bell

Earlier this week, I headed over to new Gamecocks football coach Will Muschamp's residence to create his family portrait for the football media guide.

These shoots are done very fast as coaches' schedules are obviously very busy. One of my favorite things about the shoot was how much Coach Muschamp smiled for the portraits.

The family portrait will be released later when the media guide is published. For now, here's one of Coach Muschamp and his wife, Carol.

Where's the Helicopter?

The last few weeks has been a fun ride of assignments around The Carolinas.

During one stretch of 24 hours, I was in Charleston, Columbia and Charlotte. I love the diversity with my job and all the people I get to meet.

Below is a collage from those 24 hours, including photographing an MUSC event on the USS Yorktown in Charleston, Gamecock men's tennis in Columbia and behind-the-scenes of an ESPN, SEC Now broadcast in Charlotte.

"No. 5, no problem"
