Portland Hearts of Pine

I have been fortunate to work for Maine’s first ever professional soccer team. A club that lives by the motto “Lead with your heart.” From the moment word spread that professional soccer was coming to Portland, I knew I had to be involved.

I’ve been honored to be involved from the very beginning, capturing monumental moments in the clubs history. I captured their first ever training session, community events, mascot reveal, production days and the first official match in club history. Being trusted to document the early chapters of a club rooted in connection, passion, and purpose has been an experience that reflects not only what I do, but who I am.

Being a part of the club has allowed me to observe and help document something truly special. A brand being built from the ground up with thoughtful, meticulous, and intentional creativity. I’ve witnessed passionate minds come together, each bringing their unique vision to life while staying true to the club’s core value: leading with your heart. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to grow my network, while collaborating with local creatives and individuals who are deeply established in the industry. It’s been a space where community and creativity collide and I’m proud to be a part of that story.
