The US Women’s National Soccer Team is in town this weekend. Chicago Red Stars arranged a photo shoot with our 3 new players – Lindsay Tarpley, Carli Lloyd and Kate Markgraf. I was on hand with a video camera (great footage coming soon!) and a still camera, but as a warm-up, here are a few pictures I snapped.
Katie Stapley, our photographer. (I was posing so she could check the lighting)

Ever wonder who takes the video footage for Studio 90?!?
Carli, Lindsay and Kate each signed Peter Wilt’s bottle from our Gold Medal celebration at the Globe Pub during the Olympics.
