Capturing the Spirit of Lacrosse in Northern Virginia
Inaugural Season Spotlight: NVHAA Centurions Lacrosse “Sportraits” in Manassas, Virginia
As the sun dipped low over the rolling fields of Manassas, Northern Virginia, The Pixel Pro had the privilege of capturing the intensity and passion of the NVHAA Centurions lacrosse team in their inaugural season. This marked a milestone for both the team and our studio—our very first lacrosse Sportrait session, and what an electrifying experience it was!
Capturing the Spirit of Lacrosse in Northern Virginia
Lacrosse is more than just a sport; it’s a fast‑paced ballet of stick work, athleticism, and unwavering teamwork. On a crisp spring afternoon just outside Manassas, we transformed the open field into our outdoor studio, using the golden hour light to sculpt each athlete’s features and gear into dramatic sports portraits. From the fierce determination in the goalkeeper’s eyes to the calm confidence of midfield playmakers, every shot tells a story of grit and camaraderie.
Highlights from the Session
Dynamic Angles & Lighting
We used off‑camera flash to freeze motion and add punchy contrast, making traditional lacrosse sticks and helmets pop against the sky.Authentic Poses
Instead of rigid, one‑size‑fits‑all headshots, each Centurion took the field on their own terms: shoulders squared, lacrosse stick at rest or at the ready—showcasing both individual character and team unity.Team & Individual Portraits
From solo Sportraits to the full lineup in matching Centurions black-and-blue jerseys, these sports portraits capture the collective heartbeat of a brand-new squad.
